First official reissue of Warda's cult 1975 album recorded in Egypt by the legendary Arabic diva and composed by Baligh Hamdi.
Features newly remastered audio, original cassette artwork and a two-page insert.

Warda is widely regarded as one of the greatest divas of the Arab world with Oum Kalthoum and Fairuz. We Malo (“So What”) was recorded live in 1975, during the peak of her career. Partnering with her new husband, renowned composer Baligh Hamdi, she created a series of albums filled with lengthy, hypnotic compositions that showcased her commanding voice and ability to captivate audiences. Merging traditional Arabic music with modern instrumentation - including electric guitar and organ (likely played by Hany Mehanna) - the album unfolds into several mesmerizing sections, highlighting Warda's superb singing.
