More Info
A son of Basrah city, Alaa Hadi rose to prominence in the Iraqi shaabi scene during the 1990s, releasing a number of well-crafted and enjoyable recordings and songs, which leave us puzzled about why his fame faded with the entry of the new century. Some sources mention that he continued performing in restaurants, but the internet doesn't retain any recordings of him outside the 1990s era. In this tape, we notice the recording company's faith in him, providing him with rich 1990s Iraqi pop arrangements and accompanying choir, which Alaa makes the best use of, adding to them his distinctive nasal voice and flowing singing.
