Saadoun Al-Bayati – The Songs Of Iraq

Only 1 left in stock

$12.00

“When Baghdad native Saadoun Al-Bayati moved from Iraq to Chicago — a city that has attracted its share of Middle Eastern immigrants — he continued to perform traditional Iraqi music. It was in 1973 that Samar Enterprises, a small indie label, released Songs of Iraq, which finds the Iraqi vocalist favoring a minimalist approach and employing only a few instruments. Al-Bayati’s only accompaniment consists of percussion and an oud — because the accompaniment is so spare, Al Bayati’s vocals are really isolated. He doesn’t have a lot of instruments to hide behind, but then, he doesn’t need them. Al-Bayati is obviously a fine singer, and his soulfulness is impossible to miss on “Samra,” “Iraqi 6,” and other selections.” – allmusic.com
