More Info

The singer Ziad Elias, who is from the city of Hassake, is nicknamed 'The Nightingale of the Jazeera.' He became famous for performing various singing styles that achieved widespread popular acceptance among the people of the Jazeera region, including both Assyrians and Arabs. This tape captures the unique and diverse atmosphere of the Jazeera region, featuring Ziad's distinctive Arabic dialect and his characteristic Jaziri voice, taking his listeners on a unique journey that enables all listeners to understand the nature of feelings of the people from that region. We obtained this cassette back in 2000 from a music shop managed by Ziad himself in the city of Hassake.
