While surfing the internet for Arabic music sheets, I came across this Khaliji song, "Layla Al Saud"(?). Does anyone know anything about it? Any recordings available?

Thanks,

Thanks BaniYazid, but are you sure that's the same song? I tried listening and following along with the music. It didn't seem to fit. The one you posted is listed as "Malouf," if I'm reading the Arabic correctly, so that would certainly mean North African, right?

Thanks,

Hello,

It's the same lyrics written on the sheet music. I'm not comfortable with reading notes, but it seems that the rhythm is approximatively the same. The song ended at the 7th line of the score, before the word "FIN".
Yes it's written "malouf" and in your score it's written "Nouba Dhil" and "Btayhi", no doubt it's North African music.
I don't know if it's Tunisian or Algerian, the singer/player Salah El Mahdawi is Tunisian.

You are welcome
Mohamed
