Masar's lyrics & chords

Masar is a quartet that brings together some of the most talented Egyptian musicians of the younger generation: Hazim Shaheen on the oud, Nawar Abbessi on the piano, and Hani Bdeir on oriental percussion; they are joined by Miles Jay, an American contrabass player residing in Cairo.
