Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Hamid Al-Saadi is the leading recitalist of the Iraqi Maqam, and is one of very few who practice this art at the present time. Hamid studied the art of the Maqam with the master Yousif Omar, who in turn studied with the great master Mohammad al-Kubbanchi. Hamid taught for seven years at the Maqam Academy in Baghdad, and currently performs at many international festivals. Hamid is accompanied in his singing by al-Chalghi al-Baghdadi musical group.

Band members: Ghazi al-Azzawi (Santour)
Baher al-Rajab (Qanun)
Saheeb al-Rajab (Joze)
Fadel al-Saadi (Darbuka)

Product Description
One of a series of fine Iraqi Maqams by one of the very few living recitalists. This ancient art form which is related to various genres of Middle Eastern music is performed only in Iraq. The Iraqi Maqam follows a complex pattern of various parts woven together by the masterly imrpovisations of the vocalist (recitalist) and the musicians. The musical group consists of a Santour (a zither similar to the hammer dulcimer), Qanun (72-string Middle Eastern plucked zither), Joza (a vertically-played small violin with a gourd-shaped base, hence the name), Darbuka (a vase drum).
