Mohammed Abdel Wahab

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist

Mohammed Abdel Wahab was a singer, oud player and composer in Cairo and made his first recordings as a child. From 1933 he acted in musical films, beginning with الوردة البيضاء (The White Rose), and he brought in rhythms from outside Arabic music, such as a waltz in El Gandol (1941). For Oum Kalthoum he wrote ten songs, including Anta Oumri (1964). In this way he linked the old tarab with film, radio and the modern orchestra.
