OUDLAND

A place where the sun shines for everybody, where the feets are wrapped by warmy sand and the ears caressed by talking sounds. Have a pleasant stay admiring oud craftmanships and listening taqsims. Enjoy the poetries and continue your trip visiting friends.

Oudland will show you the oud as a universal instrument, played everywhere, by people fm all origins and backgrounds.
You will see how oud inspires different artwork (painting, 3d graphics, drawings, comic strips...), how an oud is built, and how oud dances and sings.

Many other surprises and curiosities on the oud will be found here .

Hopefully, after your stay in Oudland, you will feel oud as yours.
Oud accepts everybody.
So..... feel the oud

Oudland will regularly provide you with diversified data and infos coming from different internet ressources, such as internet sites and blogs.
In a near future Oudland may propose its own creations and productions.

The tracks of Oudland's playlist are mainly taqsims (improvisations) which members of Mike Oud's forum have posted there over the recent months. There are also some group's and band's tracks which are available at their internet sites.

Oudland is an open country, free of boundaries, where people can come in and go back to create their own piece of Oudland....so if you are an oudist....just open your own site...
