Review by Guido Morcillo

Simon Shaheen's album, The Music of Mohamed Abdel Wahab, is a tribute to one of the most influential composers in the Arab world. The album features Shaheen's masterful oud playing and his interpretation of Abdel Wahab's classic compositions.

From the opening track, "Ya Msafer Wahdak," Shaheen's virtuosic oud playing sets the tone for the album. His fluid and expressive playing is complemented by the subtle percussion and string arrangements that give the music a lush and full sound.

The album features a range of Abdel Wahab's compositions, from the romantic "Ya Msafer Wahdak" to the lively "Ya Mustafa." Shaheen's interpretation of each piece brings out the beauty and complexity of the music, showcasing his deep knowledge and appreciation of the Arab musical tradition.

Throughout the album, Shaheen's playing is sensitive and emotive, capturing the spirit of Abdel Wahab's music. The album is a testament to both Shaheen's skill as a musician and his commitment to preserving the rich musical heritage of the Arab world.
