Hani Mitwasi (Arabic: هاني متواسي, born 1983 in Kuwait City) is a Jordanian singer-musician[1] who is famous for singing in the ‘Spanish-Levant' music genre. After several years of following his passion of the Spanish and Flamenco music, he got his BA in music science at the 'Jordan Academy of Music in 2005, in addition to his 5 years of studying the flamenco guitar.[2]

Musical career

Mitwasi released his first album "Khamrat Al Hob" (Translation: "the Liquor of Love") in 2006 which comprised the remaking of six folklore Levant songs in the new ‘Spanish-Levant' line of music. Mitwasi went on to release his second album "Barmi El Salam" (Translation: "Spreading my Salutation") in 2007 where it consisted the remake of five folklore Levant songs in the new "Spanish-Levant' line of music in addition to one of his singles "Barmi El Salam".

Following the success of the second album, 'Platinum Records' contracted Mitwasi where they jointly produced a new album called "Ozran Habibi" (Translation: "Apologies my love") which was one of the factors that led Mitwasi to win the 'Jordan Music Award' for best Jordanian artist in 2010. This album was not based on the Spanish-Levant style, rather it consisted of 9 originals that were based on the modern style of Levant music.[3]

Mitwasi is known for his live performances; in 2012; he reproduced and sang live "Mawtini" (Translation: "My homeland"), one of the most famous national songs in Arab history, where it inspired several regional artists to record it in a similar performance. In 2013, Mitwasi performed live along with Alberto Lopez and his band in a Flamenco Levant concert which resulted in an audience exceeding 5,000 people. The concert was recorded and released in an album called "Live Concert".[4]

Mitwasi was appointed as one of the judges in the talent show of "Jordan star" in 2015 and 2017.
