Rashed Al-Khudhur Music

After studying the “Qanoun” (Zither) at the Institute of Musical Studies, Rashed Al-Khedr started, since the 1970s, working on composing music for songs. One of the his earliest works was the composition of a song called Rahaltay (You’ve Left), one of the first songs performed by young Abdullah Al-Rowaished at the time, and the song was the rise to fame for both of them. Rashed Al-Khedr’s miscellaneous compositions dominated the 1980s, to the extent that he might be considered one of the composers who shaped the picture of contemporary music in Kuwait. He composed lyrics for most famous 80s singers, such as Al-Rowaished, Nabil Shuail, Rabab, and Nawal. His influence was not confined to Kuwait but extended to all Gulf. 

By commemorating Rashed Al-Khedr musical compositions, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Center also commemorates the most important Kuwaiti and Gulf singers who performed his works and appreciates a form of singing that still has its fingerprint on the domestic and regional music.
