Tarab

Tarab is an album by the Lebanese oud player and composer Rabih Abou-Khalil, fusing traditional Arab music with jazz, which was recorded in 1992 and released on the Enja label the following year.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Kurt Keefner called it " an album that certainly does not lack for atmosphere, but which would have benefited from greater tunefulness. Still, a very worthy effort" but stated it was "not the best place to start one's Rabih Abou-Khalil collection, especially if one is coming from a jazz background".
