Dubbed the Voice of the Earth, Khedr's career spanned six decades, with his last recording released in 2022.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We've got two cassettes by this remarkable artist; first up is something from the 1990s or aughts, "Admonitions & Mawawil."
