موقع متخصص في المقام العراقي، ويسمح للمتطفلين عليه، من أمثالي، بفهم بنية هذا الغناء بشكل أفضل، فضلاً عن رفعه لتسجيلات نادرة وجميلة.
(بالمناسبة، عمرو العزيز، سمح لي احد التسجيلات هاهنا، أخيراً، بفهم مقولتك عن جمال صوت نجم الشيخلي!!)

Dear Ovide,
thanks for the link, it seems like a wonderful blog.
There are actually better sounding recordings of Najm il Sheikhli that bring out his voice. My only difficulty with these recordings however is that they're so short, and so you don't really get to have a proper taste of each piece in the maqam before they move to the next.

Do check the Ibrahimi recording by Qundarchi that's posted there, it's extraordinary (as all of Abu Hamid's recordings of Ibrahimi).

I'm extremely happy because this blog has the only clear and sharp picture I have ever seen of Yousef Efendi Zaarour, my favourite kanun player of all times (and all musical cultures), probably my favourite player of any arabic instrument actually.
