Old man and his Oud at Hamra
I had to go to the American University Hospital several times during the past weeks, and I was spotting this old man on almost every visit playing on his Oud and singing nice old Arabic songs.
Although he claims he doesn’t have a job, but I guess he’s got the perfect one! 1. He’s self employed, 2. He seems happy with what he does! Don’t you agree?
… and yes I just forgot to ask him about his name, anyone knows it?

I like this guy ! good one plus
His name is abu rita, he is a fixture in the area. He even participated in the street festival organised by Nabad in june 2009
ahhh… it breaks my heart ….
Me too, I don’t remember when was the first time I’ve seen him there. He is part of the background of AUH in addition to the newspaper guy and “les dames de la cafeteria”…
An owner of a lebanese restaurant (something like Ksar) would be stupid not to hire this man to sing.
I guarantee that he’ll a valuable add on to any restaurant… Any owners reading this blog?
Yeah I totally agree with @Simon a owner of a Lebanese restaurant would be stupid not to hire this man. He is great, and he lookes so… I don`t know, Lebanese. I like this guy. He is cool. I don`t know why, but there is something about him that just made me feel happy or something.
