Wedel Bikri - [1996] - Oumri Al-Baghi (What's Left of My Years) [sudan]




Original post at Awesome Tapes from Africa



     Wad El-Bakri (Wedel Bikri) -  Oumri Al-Baghi (What's Left of My Years)




        ود البكري, full name: Abdel-Baqi Ahmad Al-Bakri, is a Sudanese singer from the White-Nile delta region. He used to work as a pharmacist, and started singing at local haflas (communal parties and gatherings) paid too little for his singing and rabab-playing in the early 80's. 
        Then with time, he learned to master the oud and got his full backing orchestra. Lately, he began singing only madayeh (adulatory) religious songs on a satellite channel in Sudan.
