The Iraqi Maqam Ensemble
In the hope of maintaining our Iraqi musical folklore which is represented by Iraqi Maqam, this style which I have learned and inherited from greatest teachers Munir Bashir, Shaubi Ibrahim, Yousif Omar. with whom I had worked for a period regarded as the richest period of my artistic career. In addition, work with the Iraqi Musical Heritage Group, which had been founded by the greatest artist Munir Bashir, made me aware of the importance of continuing and spreading this folklore throughout the world since
