Dr. Lloyd Miller (oud) and Ashar Hazemi (santur)
Dr. Lloyd Miller is an American born jazz musician who developed an early interest in Persian music. Eventually moving to Iran, Miller who is fluent in Persian and French hosted a 1970's prime-time, music variety show, Kurosh Ali Khan and Friends. In the above clip Dr. Miller (Kurosh Ali Khan) plays oud while Ashar Hazemi accompanies on santur.
Ancient Babylonian Santur
Muslim and Christian oud players in Al-Andalus (Moorish Iberia). Who says all God's children can't get along?
"O people! Behold, we have created you from a male and a female and have made you into nations and tribes so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware." [Qur'an 49:13]
