Thank you

first of all where you been bro?

anyways sorry I cant help with the name of the song.
but he seems like the other guy says something like Sayed Darwish at the begining.

That is "Ana Hawayt" by Sayed Darwish. It was covered by many, including Abdel Wahab, Riad al Sunbati, Suad Mohammad, etc. . . It's a standard. It's a form called "Dour" (English means cycle)

indeed. As far as I can remember, in the Ana hawet (when the sentence ana hawet is sung), Abdel Wahab substituted a natural A to an Ab (just one note). So clever! A small and a huge difference at the same time. Amazing :)

Yeah I thought it was Sayyed Darwish.

Hey Samir,

I've been around man. I was so busy with school the last few semesters but will be graduating tomorrow! I'm going to have the entire semester off before starting back up in the fall. I will be spending some quality time with my oud in the next few months.

Do you guys now the maqam? I can't seem to land it.

Revaldo It is a originally a sayed darwish song, but Abdel Wahab has sung it as well, bringing some interesting small modifications.

Given that the dulab is "Dulab Kurd" its probably in Kurd, at least the beginning. . .

Here's the dulab http://www.issaboulos.com/archive/scores/Dulab-Kurd1.pdf

A small gift for your graduation revaldo....

Congratulations

ALAMI, I graduate in June. . Inshallah. . . So thanks I'll take this as my graduation present too :)

BTW, I'm sorry I lost touch with you. . . I meant to respond back to your last email, but the work during the day and school at night makes me forgettful. . Take care cousin :)

Thanks guys,

Thank you very much Alami! We should start a thread where everyone learns a song together. Similar to the one Jameel started a while back to learn a maqam.

Sam, weren't you the one that sent me that CD with all the Sayed Darweesh songs a long time ago? I found this song in it so thank you very much.

samzayed - 12-15-2007 at 05:25 PM

maybe that was me. . . I think I did send a cd to someone, but I have memory these days. . . Again, grad school and work can me very hard on the mind :)
