Born in Cairo, Omar Khorshid was a well-known guitarist who accompanied many Arab singers, including Farid Al Atrach, Oum Koulsoum, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, and Abdel Halim Hafez. From 1973 to 1977, Khorshid began recording albums under his own name. Khorshid’s musicality in orchestra performances, original songs, and film scores was considered revolutionary at the time in the Middle East. His extensive theoretical knowledge, fusion of Western sounds with Eastern sounds, and incorporation of more modern instruments, like the electric guitar, electric keyboard and synthesizer in Arabic music was previously unheard of. Remastered official reissue, comes on 180 gram vinyl.
