Nidaa Abou Mrad Classical Oriental | Lebanon Nidaa Abou Mrad is one of the rare continuators of the classical Arabic near-eastern musical tradition related to the modal system of maqâm, as a violinist and improviser as well as a composer carrying out in the style of the Nahda masters (Arabic renaissance of the 19th century), following an artistic approach deeply impregnated with Sufi spirituality.

During the past years, he has fully established a contemporary art of the Sufi oratorio, a musical-poetic form focused on an ecumenical spirituality and a faithful respect for the maqâm musical tradition inherited from the Nahda (in both compositional and interpretative schemes): " Invocation of the Beloved " BLCD 1001, " Enamored of God " BLCD 1007, " Invocation of Laylâ " BLCD 1008, " Faithfuls of Love " BLCD 1011, " The Annunciation to Mary" BLCD 1013.
