al-Shaykh Muḥammad al-Fayyūmī

الشيخ محمّد الفيومي

Born: 1905
Died: 1988
Roles: Reciter, Singer

Muhammad al-Fayyumi was an Egyptian religious singer who also performed dawr and mawwal.

An original performance study examines his trained chanting ensemble and instrumental accompaniment, identifying appearances in Aziza (1954) and Rasif nimra khamsa (1956). Common birth and teacher stories remain unverified; the study warns against treating occasional ensemble participation as proof of sustained tuition.
