Here I'm humming and then reciting surah fatihah in maqam kurd. To be honest maqam kurd is probably my least favourite maqam - sounds too sing-songy to me. But I recorded this for students in my Intro to Maqamat class, and thought I’d share it here with you as well.
Because I’m not a huge fan of kurd, you'll notice I rarely post clips in kurd - and you guys are always asking me “what abt kurd?!?!” … seems like a lot of you like it. I guess to each their own. But if I had to describe what my ideal recitation sounds like, sing-songy and pop-nasheedy woudn’t be it.
your thoughts? do you like kurd?
