More Info

Muhammad Abdel-Jabbar (b. 1970) is a prominent figure in Iraqi music, known for his unique voice and mastery of the Tarab genre. His career began with the musical group "Dana," initially experimenting with fast-paced songs. Abdel-Jabbar later found his true calling in Tarab songs, with which he developed his own distinct style, rejecting imitation in favor of authenticity. His famously discerning approach to music led him to reject compositions that didn't resonate with him emotionally, even turning down offers from renowned composers. One of his most enduring works, Tanitakum, is rooted in a personal love story from the 1990s, and earned him widespread recognition. Abdel-Jabbar also gained recognition as a master of mawwils, with a distinct ability to transform written texts into melodic compositions.
