More Info

On this cassette, child singer Mohammad Al Ali performs a collection of attabat (lamentation poetry), showcasing a voice that blends softness with strength and a distinctive timbre, setting him apart from the typical sound of traditional Syrian shaabi singers. The young singer from Homs captivated many listeners in the mid-1990s with his simultaneously sweet and powerful voice, earning him the title 'The Miracle Child.' For that brief period, he seemed to be following in the footsteps of George Wassouf. However, his star faded as his artistic activity diminished in later years.
