The singer of this piece, Abdul Majeed Abdullah, is a Saudi singer, composer, and actor and is very well known in the Middle East. He has released many albums and singles and performs at local and international music festivals. This piece includes a lot of instrumentation which I really enjoyed. Right away, a few instruments that I can recognize are violins, the flute that we were shown in class, and a santur, as well as multiple other instruments. I picked this song because I really liked how upbeat it sounded and how much energy everyone produced in the crowd setting with singing and clapping. I also really liked how the instruments blended together and how there were moments where the flute and the violins echoed each other.
