// Rahim Alhaj
Alhaj studied music in Baghdad with Munir Bashir and other great teacher-performers. Rahim’s music delicately combines traditional Iraqi maqams with contemporary styling and influence. His compositions are about the experience of exile from his homeland and of new beginnings in his adopted country. His songs establish new concepts without altering the foundation of the traditional Iraqi School of Oud.
