Marcel Khalife on Heritage and Iraqi Maqam
Lebanese musician Marcel Khalife confirmed that Iraqi musical and poetic heritage represents a rich and inspiring treasure, having a direct influence on his artistic journey and musical outlook. He explained that the first oud he played was an Iraqi oud crafted by the Baghdad-based artisan Muhammad Fadil, and that his experience with Iraq was deeply affected by Iraqi culture and poetry—particularly the works he composed melodies for, by poets such as Badr Shaker al-Sayyab and Saadi Youssef. He noted that Iraq has left a significant mark on his art, recalling the friendliness and warmth he felt from the Iraqi people since his first visit to Babylon.
