One of Syria’s great nasheed singers, Imad Rami has delivered compelling recordings since the ’90s. Early releases such as 1992’s Ya Rassul Allah Shafaah entranced listeners with his malleable, unwavering voice supported by emphatic percussion. Whether leading a cappella spiritual chants accompanied by a harmonic chorus or heart-stirring laments layered over accordion- and key-laden arrangements—as on the 2018 release Oparitat Imad Rami—the acclaimed vocalist embraces music as a truly transporting experience.
