Sama'i Saba

I learned this Sama'i off of Sakher Hatter's album, I wonder if anyone knows who composed it. It's a nice piece.

Hey Brian it sounds like Samai Saba by Khaled Mohammed Ali, although I have not heard it for some time. Great piece. Let me know if that checks out...

Thanks, Amos. That's not it, though there are some similarities. But it put me on the right track, and I found the composer: Omar al-Faqir. He's based in Jordan.

Yeah, I kind of thought I may not be right on that...like I said, it has been a long time. Glad you found the composer...you don't have sheet music for this Samai by any chance do you? It's really beautiful.
