تطلع يا قمر في الليل / يهون عليك / أحبابنا يا عين / يالله توكلنا على الله = Tatla Ya Qamar Felleil / Yahoun Aleik / Ahbabna Ya Ain / Yallah Tawakalna

This 45 RPM record was released by Cairophon, a cornerstone label in the mid-20th century Egyptian music industry. It features the compositions of the legendary Syrian-Egyptian musician Farid El Atrache, whose work remains central to the canon of Arabic classical and light music. These tracks showcase his signature style, which masterfully blended traditional Arabic maqam structures with Western orchestration and romantic sensibilities, reflecting the cosmopolitan and vibrant cultural landscape of Cairo during the mid-century era.

The record label Cairophon was instrumental in distributing the music of the Golden Age of Egyptian cinema and radio, often serving as the primary vehicle for El Atrache’s prolific output. As a composer, oud virtuoso, and film star, El Atrache aimed to bridge the gap between classical Tarab and more accessible, emotive song forms. His records were received with immense devotion across the Arab world, solidifying his reputation as one of the most influential figures in the regional music history and ensuring that his recordings reached a broad, appreciative audience.
