Mouasalat Ila Jacad El Ard

Issam Hajali's 1977 solo debut, recorded in Paris during political exile. A stripped-down, introspective work blending melancholic folk with jazz and santoor textures, set to Palestinian poet Samih El Kasem's verses. Self-dubbed and hand-distributed in Beirut, fewer than 100 copies circulated—this reissue restores a hidden precursor to Hajali's later work with Ferkat Al Ard, sourced from his sole surviving original cassette.
