Millions know Syrian legendary singer Sabah Fakhry who is the man who rules the world of Arabic Tarab music. This style of music that needs a solid voice, and ability to sing for minutes without being in need for a breath. Syria is the home of those rate talents, one of them is Shadi Jameel.
This old school singer of Halaby style of singing Al Qodod Al Habalbya in particular. This comes natural to Shadi who was born in city of Halab Syria in 1955. He has been singing professionally since 1983. He is in demand wherever the people of Syria live and they live all over the globe.
I came to know him as a little boy and for me he was the man with serious music and a big heart. I know of him becasue of this song that I felt was special (Tool Al Bonayh Al Yoom) I must admit that his music sounds better if you drink and smoke and I do neither so I have to enjoy it sober. Shadi Jamil is considered one of the living legends of Arabic music, the kind people love even if they do not speak the language because it's so different and offers tons of flavor, variety and poetry.
Still Syria is proud to be the home this iconic singer...here is a collection of his most famous performance.
