Overview

"Fawzi Said" is a musician and artist from Mosul, born in 1941, and is known by the nickname "Al-Hazeen" (the Sad). This recording dates back to the 1970s, starting with the introductory piece "Mali Ghayrak" in "Maqam Saba," followed by the song "Aafaki Aafaki," which is considered one of the famous songs in the Mosuli heritage and means "Well done." The word "Aafaki" is of Kurdish/Persian origin (Afarin). The story of this song is a dialogue between a woman and her daughter-in-law, where she addresses her saying: "Aafaki Aafaki ala fand al-'amalteeno, ana it'abtu wana ishaqitu wa 'ala al-hazigh akhdhtina," expressing her feelings: "I have worked hard to raise my son until you came, his wife, and he became yours without any effort."
