Kadim Al Sahir’s work brings Iraqi musical roots together with orchestral song and Arabic poetry. His repertoire includes settings associated with Nizar Qabbani as well as songs addressing Iraq and the wider region.
Byblos International FestivalPersonal profile
Al Sahir sets Arabic poetry within a career spanning romantic ballads and songs addressing public life. His Nizar Qabbani settings, including Zidini Ishqan and Ahibini, provide a focused listening route alongside Fi Medreset Al Hob and Ana Wa Laila. The texts and compositions are central, beyond the broad description of romantic singer.
Byblos International FestivalHis work also includes a documented humanitarian role. UNICEF appointed Al Sahir a regional ambassador in November 2015, following his earlier service as a national ambassador for Iraq in 2011 and 2012.
