Adwar Mousa

Adwar Mousa (; , born 10 April 1950), also known as Edwar Mousa and Edward Mousa, is an Assyrian singer-songwriter and poet who mainly writes folk dance music.

Biography Mousa is originally from Syria, before he immigrated to Sweden and later resettled in Chicago with his family in the 2010s. His son Shady Mousa is a keyboardist, and his daughter, Nagham Adwar Mousa, is also a singer. Mousa is famed for writing a dozen notable songs in the late 1980s and early 1990s for prolific and popular Assyrian singers such as Sargon Gabriel, Ashur Bet Sargis, Janan Sawa, Linda George and Juliana Jendo, among others.

His other folk dance songs, such as "Hoy Jano", "Hatkha O Atkha", "Kewat Ya Shimshi" and "Barowen", are also immensely covered in Assyrian parties, which have gained popularity since the early 2010s, despite the fact that they were composed in the early 1990s. At over 2.1 million hits, "Kha Yoma Kheshli Khlola", written by Mousa and sung by Bassam Slivo, is one of the most-viewed Assyrian songs on YouTube.
