More Info
Ahmed Al Koseem is one of the most important and renowned traditional artists from the Houran region of southern Syria. Originally from the city of Al-Harak in Daraa, Syria, Al Koseem began singing at local weddings toward the end of the 1990s and recorded his first tape in 1998, with many more to follow. His diligence and deep belief in the heritage of his region is evident in his presentation of dense and varied songs, which are faithful to the voice of the Houran, its styles and instrumentation.
This tape was recorded in the city of Daraa at Mouin Al-Nahhas studio – an anomalous collaboration at the time for Al Koseem, who had been working almost exclusively with Music Box International Records for many years.
