Harramt Ahibbak
One of Warda's hits from the 1980's, it is a good illustration of Maqam Hijazkar (and nice to see an older maqam still being used in the late 20th century). Poppy and fun, but still traditional in its melodic and maqam usage (aside from that one fragment from the instrumental intro!)
