He said, through the “A Al-Seef” program on the Kuwaiti “atv” channel: “The artist Talal is the best, with a testimony from the artist Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who composed for him and described him as the best singer.”
Juma’a added: “The Al-Aseel song, when Talal Maddah sang it, the people of the Levant were astonished and said, How is this the son of the desert, imagining that Saudi art has a certain character.”
He pointed out that Farid al-Atrash, when he met with Talal Maddah in a full session, did not catch the oud and only hear it, pointing out that Talal had a problem that he was moody and did not perform quickly.
