Faraj Abyad: Andalusian Love Story in Abu Dhabi

Classical and contemporary Andalusian poetry inspires a set of original compositions

Andalusian Love Story, a composition written by Faraj Abyad and arranged by Layth Sidiq, is based on a series of love letters written between Ibn Zaydun and Wallada Bint Al Mustakfi.

Influences from modern Khaleeji, Latin, and classical music intertwine with classical Egyptian and Syrian Muwashshah styles to create a new modern sound rooted in Arabic Turath and tradition.
