Yair Dalal is an Israeli 'ud and violin virtuoso playing the Iraqi style of Arab music. His principal teacher (unfortunately I don't recall his name at the moment) was a famous musician in Baghdad, but in Israel never again received much attention as an artist, except posthumously through his student Yair Dalal. In Iraq prior to the regime of Saddam Hussein, which forced most of them to emigrate, a great number of the most famous classical musicians had been Jews.

I just joined this forum so I could say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has posted music in this thread.

I lived in Morocco for a while and I feel in love with the music (and Arabic music in general) but it's been so hard trying to find anything back here in the states. This thread is amazing, I just wish I could download it all quicker!

And for those of you who have been uploading music, I have a request. Does anyone have anything by a Moroccan rai singer named Cheb Adil? I had a CD of his when I lived in Morocco and I really loved it, but I let someone borrow it and never got it back. I bought one of his other CD's before I left, but it was live and I didn't like it as much. I've been searching for this same CD everywhere and I've found nothing. If anyone has any of his CD's (not live albums) and feels like uploading them, I would greatly appreciate it! Shukran!

Recorded at the 1997 and 1998 Fes Festivals of World Sacred Music in Fes, Morrocco, Hamdulillah (an Arabic word meaning "Praise be to Allah") captures the unique ancient musics of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, and Hindustanis. Performed by renowned musicians and vocalists, primarily from the Middle East and North Africa, this extraordinary two-CD set radiates spiritual praise and bristles with musical virtuosity. Javanese gamelan, Jewish Sephardic, a bit of Christian, and various branches of Sufi devotional music--even the obsure muqam from Azerbaijan--are spotlighted.
The velvety voice of Amina Alaoui singing Spanish-rooted Andalusian Gharnati music greets the listener before they are guided over the craggy peaks of vigorous ensemble pieces (Taqtouqa Al Jabalyya and Begonia Olavide) and into the valleys of meditative vocal offerings (Alin Qassimov and Albert Bouhadanna), before resting at the stream of lovely, tinkling gamelan music. Singer Monajat Yulcheva's track particularly stands out for her pure tones and vocal mastery: she raises song from the well of her throat and sends it soaring to the desert sky. And if Yulcheva's expert fluttering doesn't do it for you, the 39-minute piece from the Whirling Dervishes of Konya will. Beginning with sparsely accompanied vocals, this 26-man ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers take their time in building from slow, warm chant to a portentous, wavering march before finally sparking into a throbbing ecstastic fire. Hamdulillah (in addition to being the bargain-priced CD of the year) may be 1998's most unique recording yet.
