ما سبب صدّك وهجرك والخصام

Classic Yemeni “Sanaani” feel in Kurd and Bayat, oud and qanun leading with subtle bass; hand percussion builds a gentle swing under male vocals. Verses stay intimate, close-mic’d; chorus blooms with call-and-response backing lines and light harmony. Short taqsim-style instrumental fills link sections, emphasizing the maqam colors and giving the singer room for expressive melisma.
