More Info
Mofeed Al Sheikh doesn't start singing in this cassette until the tenth minute, preceded by long musical introductions and a presentation segment from the master of ceremonies who welcomes the wedding party attendees where the recording was made. But Mofeed is worth the wait, as he quickly captivates his listeners with his solid performance and melodious voice, which upon its appearance causes the other instruments to fade away, making room for him to perform an enchanting mawal introduction. The earliest recordings of Hama singer Mofeed Al Sheikh on the internet date back to the mid-1990s, when he entered the Syrian shaabi scene specializing in attaba and dabke. He has maintained a strong presence since then until today, as he can be booked for weddings and private parties through his manager's Facebook page.
