More Info
A cassette that appears to be studio-recorded given its rich arrangement, blending Syrian shaabi and pop in light, enjoyable songs, performed by seasoned singer Faisal Al Ahmad. Faisal Al Ahmad began singing in the late 1990s, and was accustomed to writing and composing his own songs. He released several full-length albums and demonstrated an ability to perform Aleppine mawwals with a strong and skilled voice, though he spent most of his career performing folk songs and dabke at cafeterias and private parties. He remains present in Aleppo's music scene today, where he runs a concert booking agency.
