Lyrics
In this live tape, we listen to an hour of unhurried and highly emotive attaba and shaabi mawals, performed by seasoned attaba singer Jassem Al Obeid with his broad voice that fills the sonic space and competes with the instrumental accompaniment. Jassem Al Obeid achieved considerable success in both shaabi and attaba scenes, and was one of the few Syrian shaabi singers whose songs made it to various streaming platforms. Throughout his career, he acquired the stage name of Saqr Al Badiya (Falcon of Badiya).
