Rawdh Al-Habib Sparks Artistic Debate
The article addressed the controversy surrounding the origins of the melody of the song "Ala Rowd Al-Habib," in which the artist Asala claimed that it is part of Syrian heritage. This sparked a reaction from the Egyptian Society of Composers and Lyricists. The society confirmed that attributing the melody to Syrian heritage requires documented evidence, especially given the existence of conflicting attributions for the same tune. They pointed out a clear resemblance between the melody of "Ala Rowd Al-Habib" and the tune of "Zorouni Kol Sanah Marra" by composer Sayed Darwish, with some variations. The society called for the presentation of verified recordings prior to 1917, if available, to establish the origin of the melody, as part of its mission to protect Egyptian musical heritage and verify sources, while respecting Syrian heritage.
