Almaẓ

Biography

Almaz was a nineteenth-century singer whose real name was Sakina, according to Qustandi Rizq.

She trained with Sakna, a separate singer, then formed her own troupe. She married Abduh al-Hamuli after musical rivalry. Sakina Almaz and her teacher Sakna require distinct identities; life dates and conflicting accounts of later singing remain unresolved.
