About Nazem al-GhazaliNazem al-Ghazali was a superstar Iraqi artist. He was born in 1921 in Baghdad and studied at the Institute of Fine Arts in Iraq. He started his performing arts career as an actor. However, a few years later he was inspired by the great singers of his youth, including Oum Kalthoum, Asmahan, Farid al-Atrache, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Leila Murad, and Nagat al-Saghira. This led him to shift his career aspirations to music. In 1948 he joined the Andalusian Muashahat Ensemble. He died in 1963, in his early 40's. |
