Since the vid resolution isn’t all that great, It is best if you can view them in small Screen.

Said is a long time friend of mine, from my "old-days" in Lille, France. He's a big fan a tarab al asseel and sings to some of biggest giants of "Le Chant Arab", like Mohammad Abdelwahab, Abdelhalim Hafez, Wadee El Safi, Abdel Hadi Belkhayate, etc...

We (his friends) have repeatedly encouraged him to go to Morocco and participate in one of those Star TV Shows, which promote new talents..., but he was too shy!!

He enjoys singing to friends and family, and was hoping that one day he get his "fair shot"...It's may be too late now, because last I've seen him was in 1993 and I've decided to seize the opportunity and get him to sing to my "low-tech" camcorder with a few friends around us. We had a lot of fun! Just imagine what this guy's voice would sound like if we were to use today's audio technology and high-tech recording studios!

I've decided to upload theses clips to Dailymotion, so you can all enjoy Said's voice “Al Fannan Al Majhoul” and tell me what you guy/gals think...If you like this video, you can search for more of Said's Vids under Said "Artiste Inconnu".

P.S. I'm sure you've noticed that his "Oud playing" is not the best. He had always told me that he feels he can sing much better, if someone else was playing the instrument instead. He learned how to play "Oud" alone, not at school, only by using his "musical ear" and lots of lots of practice.

-- Sorry, these clips are home-made, so the quality may not be up to standards –

Enjoy!
