The artist Issa Al-Ahsa’i’s origins go back to the Al-Ahsa region in Saudi Arabia, where he grew up and gained his fame from it
He began during the period of art in Saudi Arabia in the early sixties and left a great artistic legacy and a larger and larger audience
He could not read or write, but he learned to play the oud at an early age and was nicknamed the Golden Throat until he excelled and mastered all singing styles without exception, taking advantage of the sweetness of his voice, the ability to imitate dialects, and a rare playing skill.
What distinguishes it most from others is the change in the melody to the words of Issa Al-Ahsa’i
Issa Al-Ahsa’i, what a good night
Issa Al-Ahsa’i, where are our loved ones?
Issa Al-Ahsa’i, peace and God’s peace
Issa Al-Ahsa'i Yanas Shalhilah gives the song more than one melody, even though he does not read or understand the notes. He was also one of the best performers of the mawwal, especially the so-called zuhairiyat.
