Salih Al Kuwaiti Was really not Iraqi. He was not born in Iraq, his parents came from Iran , Thier family came to Iran from Armenia. Saleh and Daud Al kuwaiti Introduced Violen and Cello instrument to the Ensemble (Al Chalghi) thereby nearly destroying Al Jawza and Al Santour. They were average musicians in baghdad ( far inferior to,say,Shaobi Ibraheem and Mohammed Zaki
yet I am surprised that they are continously recieving, from mysterious sources,plenty of credit which is really not justified
