Arabic Music Respite

If you are fed up and want to have a relief from both mundane stress and what you watch/hear/read everywhere, you are welcome to join me. I do not know about you, but I like listening to classical music in general and Arabic Music in particular. Hence, in this post, I am going to place two melodies by the Egyptian musician “Omar Khairat (Arabic: عمر خيرت)” who was born in 1949.

Arabic Music Respite: Omar Khairat

About Omar Khairat

For those who know nothing about him, Omar Khairat earned his degree from Cairo Conservatoire and continued his studies in Trinity College of Music respectively. He is well known for Egyptians and Arabs -both inside and outside the Middle East- with his compositions; either his own melodies or the ones that were written for famous Egyptians films, drama and plays in the last quarter of the 20^th century. Furthermore, his uncle was the Egyptian architect “Abu Bakr Khairat (Arabic: أبو بكر خيرت)” who was among the first generation of classical music in Egypt and who became the first dean for Cairo Conservatoire from 1959 to 1963.
