People behind the works
Abu Khalil Qabbani
Damascus
Story & context
The Syrian Cassette Archives credits his name for Ya Mal al-Sham. This is an archival attribution, not manuscript proof for every passage in later versions. Read alongside the song’s development history.
What remains open?
This entry covers the linked work, not a full biography or catalogue. Credits still need comparison with original release documentation.

Sources retain their original language. The editing date does not mean every link was rechecked or the earliest recording found.
How to read this archive
We distinguish words, melody, performance and arrangement. A source supports a specific claim; a missing credit does not prove historical anonymity. Open questions remain visible in each entry, ready for new testimony or recordings.
These paths describe circulation and cultural association, not exclusive origins or ownership. The same entry may belong to several regions.
