Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing you all a month of reflection, remembrance, and inspiriation. Here is a cassette of amdah religious chants from the reciter Al-Hajj Muhammad Al-Barraq and his group. This is a lovely cassette featuring only vocals - both solo and group.
I cannot find much information about the reciter Al-Barraq. He released several cassettes of religious chants on Tichkaphone - you can find three of them still available on the wonderful but defunct blog Oriental Traditional Music from LPs & Cassettes.
The j-card and the cassette shell lists the titles of 2 poems:
- Side 1: Assalatu Âla L-Mudallal Bilghmama الصَّلاة عَلى المُضَلَّلِ بالغمامة
- Side 2: Talâa L-Badru Âlayna طَلعَ البَدر عَلَيْنَا
I hear just a few verses of each of these poems on side 1 and none on side 2, but I have retained the track names as listed. Here is an excerpt of side 1 containing some verses of Assalatu Âla L-Mudallal Bilghmama:
The poem title translates as "Prayers for the one one shaded by a cloud". This refers to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), of whom it is said that in his youth when he walked under the hot Arabian sun, a small cloud followed him around to provide him with shade.
Talâa L-Badru Âlayna is probably the most famous poem in the Islamic tradition. The cassette features just one verse from this poem, at the end of side 1. The recordings feature verses from many different poems, flowing without interruption. Hope you enjoy!
