Kadim Al Sahir ( كاظم الساهر ) was born on
September 12, 1957 in Mosul,
Iraq. His
mother is from Najaf & his father, though he grew up in Alhurrya City
in Baghdad, was from Samarra (a member of the Albu Daraj).
Although most of his family was opposed to Kadim becoming a musician because
they had no faith in his being successful, instead wanting him to become a
doctor or a lawyer, he got full support from his mother, who recognized his
talent. His brother once took him to a local cafe, full of out of work musicians
& warned him that Kadim would end up the same as them.
Now Kadim is hailed as a
true star of Arabic music. He is a successful singer, composer, & poet. He
has been dubbed as the ‘Robbie Williams of the Middle East’ & ‘Iraq’s
Diplomatic Ambassador to the World’.
