Roman Bunka is a true master on the oud; I can understand why he put away his guitar for it (though it is a pity; he was one of my favorite guitar players; some of the very best guitar solos I know were by him)
The amazing thing and what i really like about Roman Bunka is the idea of how a europian man from a very different culture be able to have such a sense and net eastern feelings playing the Oud like that..I really like you.
Bunka is the son of a German diplomat and grew up in Beirut.
