It is always fascinating to find someone holding to his roots in one way or another, even if it’s through musical instruments. Mario Maurice is an Oud creator; an instrument that shouts oriental music. He takes us on an inspiring journey of how he chose the paths of his grandfather & father regardless of his own field of study. Mario is a 23-year-old MET engineering student whose passion led him to complete his father and grandfather’s heritage path and talents in Oud-Making. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
