Biography

Rizq identifies Yusuf al-Manyalawi’s chanting teachers as Khalil Mihrim and al-Maslub.

He describes secular performance on a private takht alongside continued religious chanting. The history records Gramophone discs in 1910 and a captioned ensemble photograph. Competing birth accounts and precise recording-contract terms still require their original records.
