His mother is Hungarian, and his father, an Assyrian, was the oud artist Munir Bashir. His uncle, also an oud artist, was Jamil Bashir. At the age of five, Bashir left Hungary with his parents to live in Iraq, where he grew up. The oud which he uses in his performances is in the same one that he used as a child. At the age of seven, Bashir joined the Baghdad Music and Ballet School, the arts school he was attending when he made his oud solo debut at the age of nine, at the Baghdad Conservatory. In his late teens, he became a teacher at the Baghdad Music and Ballet School, creating his own band of 24 musicians specialising in classical Iraqi music. Bashir's debut with his father Munir Bashir was at the age of 13, and by the age of 20, he was regularly performing alongside his father. In 1991, Bashir's parents moved back to Hungary, where he studied piano, singing and direction of choir at the Liszt Ferenc University, continuing to work and perform oud duets with his father until the latter's death in 1997. The pair performed internationally, touring various Arab countries, the United States, Canada, and Russia. The death of his father marked a turning point in Omar Bashir's musical career. He collaborated with many international artists, on one occasion being granted copyright by the Gipsy Kings to perform one of their songs. Bashir has won much recognition and many international awards for his work and musical achievement. He has performed internationally in prestigious musical halls and often in the presence of notable figures. On the first anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Omar Bashir came to the United States by official invitation from the Institute of Arab Music and the United States government. The aim was to raise funds for the Iraqi Symphony Orchestra, which was brought over to perform in the United States. He also took part in various charity performances to raise funds for Iraqi children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omar Bashir (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
