More Info

In the mid-90s, the child singer from Homs, Mohamed Al Ali, captivated many listeners with his sweet yet powerful voice, earning him the title of the "miracle child." For that brief period, he seemed to be following in the footsteps of George Wassouf, though his star faded as his artistic activity later decreased. The most prominent contribution Mohamed Al Ali offers to the Dal'ona song here is indeed, simply, his voice. His smooth, powerful tone, combined with a unique timbre, puts him in a completely different place from traditional Syrian shaabi singers. There's also a certain humor in his performance of lyrics that are more serious and street-wise than you’d expect from his young age: "And if your father refuses to give you to me / Come on, let’s elope, oh light of my eyes."
