Miday Laabtu Doonto with ‘Xawaash’
One of the first songs Cabdinaasir taught me was Magool’s ‘Miday laabtu doonto’, which I regularly performed at Hiddo Dhawr. In this recording, Cabdinaasir demonstrates “xawaash” [spice], or ornamentation (figure 5.4 on p. 167 is based on this recording). It is unusual for two ouds to play together, but we often played like this during my lessons.
