Chawki Dib, King of Ataba

Recorded LIVE @ Chawki's Concert 31 July 2010 in NSW, Australia.

The 'Ataba' (Arabic: عتابا‎, meaning "plaint" or "dirge", also transliterated 'ataba) is a traditional Arabic musical form. It is sung unmetered in stanzas comprising four lines, the last word of the first three lines are homonyms, each with a different meaning, creating a pun. In urban settings, the ataaba is often paired with a metric choral refrain called a mījanā.
