The Emirati artist Tariq Al-Menhali sings with the song (I’ll Speak to You Nadhma), which is a song by the young artist Hussein Al-Sadiq, who in 2021 released an album bearing her name. The song is written by the poet Abdullah Al-Mardi. It is noteworthy that Al-Menhali appeared in the song with all of its literary rights, especially the poetry and melodies.
The song, which found wide circulation, was commented on by musician Youssef Al-Mawsili. “I was very surprised by Tariq Al-Menhali in his bold handling of the song (I’ll Call You Nadma). It is a song written by a poet from the Nile River region, and its composer and singer are from the same region.” He said. “It is known that there is a genetic relationship between the rhythm of the story (the dolouka) (Sudanese and some rhythmic forms in the Gulf).
In terms of pronunciation and the articulation of letters in lyric poetry in northern Sudan, Tariq Al-Menhali excelled to the point of astonishment. In terms of harmony with the pentatonic maqam, there was a harmonic compatibility between his voice and the pentatonic maqam. On top of all that, Al-Menhali searched for a poet and composer and contracted with them, as he specializes in second-performance rights.” He added.
Al-Mousili said that what Al-Menhali was able to do in expressing the strength of the relationship between the peoples of the Emirates and Sudan was impossible for politics.
