Recorded at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, this track from his latest album delivers all the magic of the live performance that held the audience spellbound. This song was written by the Moroccan poet Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki in the 17th century. The qasidah (ode) ‘Fiyyashiyya’ became a standard classic of the Maghrebi genre of malhoun— a genre of Sufi music popular amongst tradesmen in the urban centres of what is today Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. This qasidah continues to be one of the best-known and loved traditional songs amongst Moroccans from all walks of life. Maqām: ‘Ajam In Arabic and English.
