MUḤAMMAD ḤAMŪD AL-ḤARITHĪ / AL-SHAWQ AʽYᾹNĪ
LOVE HAS EXHAUSTED ME
Sawt al-Jazira, no date, GAZ. 11
Al-Harithi is a great singer and ud player from Sana'a. This tape is a good example of his talents. There are six songs but the two first songs on side A are together; the same about the two last songs on side B.
He's backed mainly by a sahn player which is a large copper plate giving a special effect to the songs.
Al-Harithi was one of Jean Lambert's informants for his work on the music in Sana'a. He wrote ''la musique de l'âme'' with a CD included. Al-Harithi was also recorded on the volume 3 of ''Péninsule arabique : le sowt, musique des villes'' by the prestigious label VDE-Gallo based in Geneva.
I posted another tape of his in January 2022.
Many thanks Herve for this music gem and for your valuable comments!! Have a nice weekend!!
