How to play Doulab Rast – كيف تعزف دولاب راست The sheet music is transcribed by me with some slight differences/embellishments in the way I performed it on Oud compared to the way I transcribed it. There is also the end part where it goes downwards from the octave to the tonic which is also my idea and not part of the original composition of this doulab. “Doulab” in Arabic music is a short piece of music that usually repeats itself a few times and helps prepare the singer for the scale that he/she will be singing on and also introduces the audience to the maqam.

Abwab El-Salam of Wadih El-Safi – Cover by Wassim Njeim
The title of this song translates “The gates of peace”. It’s a song about yearning for peace, composed and performed by the late Lebanese singer Wadih El-Safi. It pretty much describes the situation that some countries in the Middle East have been in for so many years. Translation: My homeland is suffering, pity. It has had enough. We’ve had enough of tragedies, promises and talks. Pupils at school, the churches bells, the soldier and the knight, and the sound of the mosque prayers All are praying for peace to come. My father told me a story about his old dream He said the relief is coming soon from God And now I am the age of my father Oh poor me, I still have hope inside me I live in the dreams And my life is still waiting at the gates of peace.
