Assala's song prompts discussion on recording
Artist Asala's remarks during her concert in Damascus about the melody of the song "Ala Roud Al-Habeeb" allegedly originating from Syrian heritage, specifically from the city of Latakia, sparked musical and legal controversy. The Egyptian Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers demanded documented proof of the melody's origin, emphasizing that the tune had previously been performed by Syrian artists and was attributed to contemporary composers or linked to Syrian heritage. The society also pointed out that music studies reveal a musical structure similar to that of the song "Zourouni Kol Sana Marra" by musician Sayed Darwish, with some variations in composition, pitch, and rhythm, citing Fairuz's performance of the song in 1955. They called on entities holding reliable recordings predating 1917 to present them in order to verify the melody's true origin and to settle the debate over its source.
