George Wassouf

George Wassouf, known as the "Sultan of Tarab," is a Syrian musical legend whose rich, emotive voice has dominated Arabic music since the 1980s. Born in 1961 in Kafroun, Syria, he began singing as a teenager and quickly rose to fame for his mastery of traditional Arabic melodies and modern pop fusion. Often called the "King of Romance," his passionate delivery and timeless hits like *ليل العاشقين* (Layl El Ashiqeen) and *اللي تعبنا سنين في هواه* have made him a household name across the Arab world. With a career spanning four decades, Wassouf’s music blends heartache, longing, and celebration, earning him generations of devoted fans.

Though he’s faced health challenges in recent years, Wassouf’s legacy thrives through classics like *Raksa Espani* and newer releases such as *Georges Wassouf Classics Part 2*, which reintroduce his iconic sound to modern audiences. His work remains a cornerstone of Arabic tarab—music that stirs the soul—and his influence continues to inspire artists today. Whether crooning about love or life’s struggles, George Wassouf’s voice remains unmistakable, a timeless bridge between tradition and contemporary Arab culture.
