Too7a!
Some of you witnessed my fangirling earlier this weekend over Too7a singing at my cousin's wedding. You'll have to understand that she was one of the first lady vocalists of this country and quite the oud player!

Wow that 7" looks like it's still in good condition. How old is it? Definitely should be preserved, I wouldn't even know where to find old arabic records these days. Good job!
ReplyDeleteRami: Quite old! There's no date on it or anything. Thanx!
