Iraqi Youssef Abbas came to Cairo to learn the arts of the oud back in 2009, and one year later, he found himself the youngest at the age of 15 at the Carthage International Festival and won first prize! He was later awarded the medal of Munir Bashir in Iraq and various prizes before forming his own music project that uses the Iraqi and the Egyptian dialect. He will be joining Amir Izzat, Mustafa Mansour, and Hisham Ziad this Tuesday night at Makan for a special live performance of his latest tunes yet. Tickets are 30 EGP.
