"Sayid Darwish created a musical revolution unlike any composer before him.But his style, still
affected by the constraints of his time, was characterized by deliberation and repetition. Then came I
and Mohammad Abdel Wahab to continue this line of modernization which he started. In essence, we
all graduated from the school of Sayid Darwish, each one of us taking a bit of his art yet retaining our
own personal style."
