The Tahmilah

    Tahmilah

(Oud speakicon)    After the Samaii, we will introduce other forms of musical styles, such as “Al-Tahmilah”, Which has a composed part, where all the musicians participate in playing, and another part which is an improvisation, where every individual musician plays solo, alternating with other musicians.  A musical dialogue takes place between the one musician and the rest of the group.  The Musician Sami Al-Shawwa was considered one of the best at this art form.  Here is one of his Tahmilahs, where he shows off his brother Fadhil Al-Shawwa (Tahmilah speakicon).
