Muwashshah "Ya Shadi il-Alhan"
Another classic muwashshah in Rast. Fouad Rashid Khantumani is an amazing but almost completely unknown singer (I bought a few cassette tapes of live performances of his, when I studied in Aleppo). His voice is a bit rough, and the recordings are *terrible* (overdone reverb, etc.), but it's worth the listen because he has so much Tarab in his performances.
