This Calligraphy drawing reflects the artist’s inspiration by the Arabic music and poetry. Akil Ahmad chose to make the Maqam Saba because it is a very popular, unique, and common maqam in the Arabic repertory. He wants us within this maqam to feel special because, in fact, it is different than any other maqam.
Usually, every musical scale must start/end with the same scale, except the Maqam Saba that is considered exceptional. Akil Ahmad got inspired to go for this maqam because it is the definition of melancholy and anguish emotions.
