Richard Bishop on Youtube

Richard Bishop has curated an excellent Youtube channel as The Freak of Araby. His playlists are loaded with obscure vintage travel films and ethnographies, and tons of classic Asian and North African music, in performance.

Is it or is that Omar Khorshid in the first video?

I think the violinist's name is Aboud Abdel Al.

Didn't know about this though, a great inspiration for more sources. Great post again!
