[@peterokopi3876]

For those saying the instrumentation is too much and the song is noisy. It actually not their fault. You can not sing Abu umu Zayon without being overwhelmed. ❤❤

[@tituschristopher3871]

Now this is a beautiful rendition.... But too noisy for my liking.... The soloist is a real blend of beautiful voice and good performer.
