Kathem Al Saher, The Arabian Caesar is Back



Many have wrote him off as a has been, a star of the past, a one trick pony of sort. And that has been the way it is for the past 10 years. Critics and haters pile on Kathem Al Saher and yet each time he sings he wins and they lose. The Iraqi legendary musicians and singer has been number one in his style of music. He has enrich Arabic music, and his influence on Arabic music is well established. Not only is he a capable musician, and a renowned singer, he is also a master story teller. He is well known beyond Arabia. And he has worked in Oscar nominated films like My Country My Country.

For me, no one can tell a love story as Kathem can and no one can deliver it as eloquently as he is able to do so often. No one in Arabia can write tales about the pains of being in love as Kathim can. It seems that no one is capable of being a better lover that the star himself. He brought back great songs in his album of 2009 "Al Rasim Bil Kalimat" and he has made nice with all his fans by offering them a healthy dose of Iraqi songs, Nizar Qabbani songs and Kathem proper songs.


But a year is eternity and in the first day on 2011, and out of no where comes a gem from this restless singer, Habibaty Marat Ala Bali "A Thought of my lover hit me", a poetic song and a showcase of Gulf music produced by Fayez Al Said, the Arabia ambassador of love musical compositions. It's such a pleasant surprise, it's a song that will be around for a while because it offered the best of lyrics and the brightest of musical notes. This song will be especially appreciated by the singers fans in the Gulf whom he has love/hate relations due to his nationality maybe, maybe jealousy is to blame.

The music video happens to be a delight, and Kathim Al Saher looks fine, he puts all those young singers to shame as he is rocking a youthful look and a well built man stands there and pours his heart to you. He still have his charm and delivery that he had since his early career. He is a legend and this is how he will always be.
