Open to all musical influences, leading Emirati singer Hussain Aljassmi has a signature sound that's unique on the khaleeji pop music scene. Aljassmi excels at genre-breaking fusion, subtly and successfully blending traditional khaleeji beats with '90s urban music, acid jazz, soul and funk. Innovative and accomplished, his self-named debut released in 2002 setting him apart as a ground-breaking artist in Gulf contemporary music. His breakout single “Bawada'ak” and chart-breaking “Boshret Kheir” have become anthems in the Arabic-speaking world—here's some of his best.
