More Info
On this cassette, Faisal Al Ahmad alternates between singing and recitation, offering attaba mawals perfect for contemplative, unhurried listening. He is accompanied by string instruments and a nay, which follows his voice like a shadow, while the mix features a level of echo that extends each note by an additional half second. Faisal Al Ahmad began his singing career in the late 1990s, gaining recognition for writing and composing his own songs. He released numerous full-length albums that showcased his ability to perform Halabi mawals with a strong and capable voice. Despite his broader musical talents, much of his career was spent performing shaabi and dabke music at cafeterias and private events.
