عبد الحليم حافظ - Zai Al Hawa Vol II

Review by Wivan-Kristina Sandberg

Abdul Halim Hafez's album, Zai Al Hawa Vol II, is a masterful work of art that expertly showcases his vocal range and musical talents. The album features 10 tracks that are a mix of classical and modern Arabic music, each one a testament to the legendary singer's unparalleled talent.

From the opening track, "Zai Al Hawa," to the closing song, "Ya Tair Al Tayer," Hafez's voice is powerful and emotive, conveying a range of emotions from love and longing to heartbreak and sorrow. The instrumentation on the album is equally impressive, with a variety of traditional Arabic instruments like the oud and qanun blending seamlessly with modern instruments like the electric guitar and synthesizer.

One standout track on the album is "Khayef A'olak," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Hafez's ability to convey deep emotion through his voice alone. Another standout track is "Sawah," a more upbeat and rhythmic song that highlights the singer's versatility and ability to adapt to different styles of music.

Summary by Wivan-Kristina Sandberg

Zai Al Hawa Vol II is a must-listen for any fan of Arabic music or anyone looking to appreciate the artistry of one of the greatest singers in history. Hafez's legacy continues to live on through this timeless album.
