More Info
This compilation cassette focuses on Deir ez-Zor governorate, presenting eight songs by eight different artists from the region, performing lively contemporary versions of traditional Deiri songs, over a mix of Syrian and Iraqi rhythms. Released in 1996, the cassette is characterized by its dynamism, part of which comes from the difference in vocal textures among the eight singers, as well as from the structure followed in all the songs, which requires each singer to enter with a slow mawal before smoothly transitioning to dabke or choubi.
