More Info
This tape features several long form Attaba songs from the strong and capable voice of Wafik Habib, accompanied by oud, keyboard and the rich sound of the nay, performed here by Maher Al-Ali. Likely recorded in the latter 1990s, the recordings feature Habib singing compositions by brothers Thaer and Maher Al-Ali. The cassette documents the period of Wafik Habib’s career just before his longstanding collaboration with keyboardist Talal Al-Daour began – a cooperation that brought them stardom in the form of a duo.
