Born in 1961 in Nainawa, Northern Iraq, and today with 16 albums and more than 30 Million albums under his belt, Kazem Al-Saher (or Kadim Al Sahir) is regarded as the biggest vocalist to come out of the Middle East yet. He enjoys veneration commensurate with the famous diva Oum Kalthoum. Having studied oud at the Baghdad Music Academy, he's fluent in Pop as well as classic Arabian maqams. Working extensively with the poet Niza Qabbani, he eventually settled in Cairo and performed "Tathakkar" for the US Congress and United Nations in a post-Gulf War cultural exchange. Fond of massive symphonic accompaniment, he's also allowed Transglobal Underground to remix "La Titnahad", his popular song from 2000's El Hob Moustahil which was released as The Impossible Love and his first American release on Mondo Melodia. This CD is a mix ofmusic types.
