Badr Rami – Syria & Morocco

The great Muwashshah tradition of Aleppo

Born in Morocco but now living in Syria, Badri Rami grew up in a family of music-lovers. He began his musical training at his father’s side, the violin maestro Mohamed Rami Zeitouni. His artistic career began at the end of the 1990s, and he quickly acquired the authentic, traditional style that has made him so successful in Arab classical music.

He demonstrates the art of interpreting the Quodud Halabiya, traditional songs of the historic, musical Syrian city of Aleppo, in the style of the late Sabah Fakri.

Rami trained in Casablanca with the great Moroccan oud player, Haj Younes, and is also supported by well-known Arab artists such as Egyptian composer Mohammed Sultan and Moroccan composer Hassan El Kadmiri.
