More Info
A live recording of a concert by Hana Salloum, one of the leading figures in Syrian shaabi music, who rose to prominence in the 1990s and early 2000s. In this performance, Hana delivers a selection of upbeat Syrian shaabi songs, backed by an energetic acoustic arrangement from a time before the dominance of the keyboard in the genre. Hana Salloum is a Shaabi singer from Sahel Al Ghab in Hama Governorate. She began singing shaabi and mawal songs at parties in the early nineties. In 1993, she released her own composition, Ya Ahl Al Shafar Dosou, which is the moment in her career the generation of the time remembers her by. Salloum's activity continued within a modest scope at weddings on the Syrian coast and in Hama up until the past few years.
