About the Artist
Rahiim Alhaj is a two-time Grammy nominee, National Endowment for the Arts 2015 National Heritage Fellow and Smithsonian Folkways Recording artist Rahim's music delicately combines traditional Iraqi maqams with contemporary styling and influence. His compositions evoke the experience of exile from his homeland and of new beginnings in his adopted country. His pieces establish new concepts without altering the foundation of the traditional "Iraqi School of Oud".
