Rabih Abou-Khalil (Arabic: ربيع أبو خليل, born August 17, 1957 in Lebanon) is an oud player and composer.
He has often blended traditional Arab music with jazz, rock and classical music, and has earned praise such as “a world musician years before the phrase became a label—makes the hot, staccato Middle Eastern flavour and the seamless grooves of jazz mingle as if they were always meant to.“ Together with Anouar Brahem he has helped highlight the oud as a vehicle of eclectic “world jazz“. Abou-Khalil’s oud playing style has often been likened to jazz guitar: “Abou-Khalil spins more oud notes in 10 seconds than most jazz guitarists do in their short commercial lifespans.“
