“Baadak Ala Baly” Guitar Duet Arrangement

I am delighted to present my guitar duet arrangement of the timeless Arabic classic “Baadak Ala Baly,” originally performed by the legendary Fayrouz. This piece, now brought to life by the talented Saudi guitarists Adil Al Zahrani and Ahmed Bouchnaq, bridges the rich heritage of Arabic music with the expressive capabilities of the guitar.

The inspiration behind arranging this beautiful melody stemmed from a desire to address the scarcity of Arabic music compositions available for guitar. By adapting “Baadak Ala Baly” for this instrument, I aim to celebrate and share the captivating beauty of Arabic melodies with a broader audience. The intricate harmonies and evocative rhythms of this piece are perfectly suited to the guitar, offering a fresh perspective on a cherished song.

This arrangement is a testament to the universality of music, transcending cultural boundaries and highlighting the deep emotional resonance of Arabic musical traditions. I hope that this rendition will not only honor Fayrouz’s original work but also inspire musicians and listeners alike to explore and appreciate the richness of Arabic music.
