Abdo Mousa (Arabic: عبده موسى) is a Jordanian singer, composer, and rebab player, active in the 1960s and 1970s. A member of Jordan's Bani Murra, a Dom community in Jordan known for their musical talents,[2] Mousa rose to prominence writing, composing, and performing Bedouin folklore music, becoming an icon of Jordanian heritage and among the most notable rebab musicians in Jordan.[3]
Orphaned and illiterate since early childhood, [4] Mousa's talent was discovered by Jordanian Prime Minister Hazza' Majali, who had heard him playing the rebab, then referring him to join Jordan TV by 1958.[1][5] Mousa was a favorite of many notable figures in Jordan; he was known to entertain dignitaries in King Hussein's palace,[2][4] and Prime Minister Wasfi Tal hired a tutor to teach him him to read and write.[1]
Mousa composed music for many notable Arab singers, including Samira Tewfik, Salwa al-Aas, Suad Tawfik, and others.[5]
