Ghazi Said - عازي سعيد
Ghazi Said is a young Nubian Artist with an extraordinary talent and love for Nubia and for music. After having been encouraged to take to path of art by the youth center who chose him as their singer, and by his parents and friends, Ghazi Said started his artistic career.
Ghazi didn't content himself just singing, he learnt to play the Oud (lute) by observing well-known musicians, and became extraordinarily skilled. Ghazi Said expresses his deepest feelings in his songs, bringing them to life and reaching the soul of the community.
Several famous Nubian poets wrote lyrics and songs to be presented by Ghazi Said, adding to the extensive selection of traditional songs he sings at various events. As he is deeply attached to Old Nubia and its beautiful way of life, many of his songs reflect the Nubians' desire to return to their lands of origin.
His most emotive song is "Babour Kusuna", on a poem and composition from the 70's by the great Nubian poet Dr. Mustafa Abdelqader, that describes the deep frustration of a young Nubian returning from abroad to his village boarding happily the steamship that should bring him there - but his soul trembles as he discovers that his village has been drowned and is beneath the lake he is sailing on. Up to this day Nubians cry when they hear the song.
