Adwar Mousa, also written as Edwar Mousa and Edward Mousa.
Originally from Syria, Mousa currently resides in Jönköping, Sweden. He has since toured Australia, the Middle East and North America. Mousa is of the
Halmon tribe in Lower Tyari, Hakkari, in what is now southeastern Turkey. Adwar Mousa's dance songs, Narineh and Wye Wye Minakh, which were written
for Sargon Gabriel, still remain widely covered and played in today's Assyrian weddings and jubilant parties. They are in the rhythm of peda and sheikhani, respectively, thus making them popular choices for dancing.
His other folk dance songs such as, Didam, Min Pumakh, Hoy Jano, Hatkha O Atkha, Shmeli Tela and Barowen, are also immensely covered in Assyrian parties,
which have gained popularity since the early 2010s, despite the fact that they were written and performed in the early 1990s.
With over 200,000 hits, Loosh Ani Jooleh Sodaneh, written by Mousa and sung by Ashur Bet Sargis, is one of the most-viewed Assyrian songs on YouTube.
His daughter, Nagham Adwar Mousa, is also a singer, and has continued his legacy.
