Ali Bahar is a famous musician from Bahrain. He is known for singing in the local Bahraini dialect and continues to play with his band, Al Ekhwa [The Brothers].
[edit] Biography
Ali Bahar is the lead singer of his band. Growing up in Muharraq, Bahrain ( precisely in Al-Binali neighborhood ), he was influenced by the 60s and 70s musical revolution, as well as reggae. Living in a cosmopolitan country with a diverse community, he got introduced into different genres of music, which encouraged him to learn playing many instruments, his primary instrument of choice being the guitar.
Alongside various figures such as his lifetime friend Khalid Al-Thawadi, his brother Essa Bahar, his cousin Wajeeh, his friends Sultan and Nader, and many other members who were constantly in and out of the band, the band had a great deal of success both locally and regionally, going so far as to be established as Bahrain’s best band.
Al Ekhwa is considered to be the largest spreading band in the Persian Gulf and the Arabic World. The Band First got established in the seventies, sometime between the years 1971 and 1972, under the name "Al Sakhra" (The Rock). In the year 1986, the band's name officially changed to "Al Ekhwa al Bahrainiya". The band style in music was melancholic, influenced by the eastern music of the province, which their audience loved and enjoyed.
