The young, highly talented Syrian singer and oud player Waed Bouhassoun has been endowed with a rare voice, on a par with the great Arab singers of the 1930s. This solo album entitled The Soul of the Lute features poems by Adonis, Mansur al-Hallaj, al-Mulawwah, Ibn Zeydoun, Sorhawardi and Ibn Arabi, which she has put to music and performs on her own, singing and accompanying herself on the oud.
