30 years ago is when his beautiful
music stopped. 30 years ago we heard the last songs sung from
the master himself. As a tribute to his life and the joy he
has given to a world of romantics, Take 5 Music has put together
an album of Farid El Atrache's most famous work, with his words
sung by the oud he loved - for none can replace his voice.
The recording was done in his homeland Syria by a group of
young musicians, who have never had the pleasure of enjoying
his music while he was still alive, but have all grown up
with Farid El Atrache playing in their hearts.
Thank you, Omar Harb, and all the musicians for giving us
such a beautiful interpretation, and thank you, El Atrache,
for sharing your soul.
