Inspired by Mohammad Abdu

Apple Music

One of Saudi Arabia's most famed performers, Mohammad Abdu has been singing since the early '60s. His distinctive, tremulous vocals have come to represent the essence of traditional Arabian music—and they've inspired a raft of fresh artists emulating his style. Funky sounds courtesy of Yara and Mansour Zayed show there's more to come from younger singers continuing the Artist of the Arabs' legacy.
