Melting heritage with circumstances, inheritance with acquired, talent with refinement, qualifications with diligence, and innovation with knowledge and perseverance, Farid al-Atrash, فريد الأطرش, employed the social openness in Cairo to build a musical school whose components are the human feelings and dreams, human diversity of tastes and colorful expressions, under the cloak of the East. By using well known and international musical rhythms, Farid’s heritage was characterized by a universality that, despite the diversity of its mixes, had a single and unique color that distinguished it from everything else and gave it its own taste.
