Legacy

Adwar Mousa's dance songs "Narineh" and "Wye Wye Minakh", which were written for Sargon Gabriel, still remain widely covered and played in today's Assyrian weddings and jubilant parties. They are in the rhythm of ''bagiyeh'' and ''sheikhani'', respectively, thus making them popular choices for dancing. 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 1.6 million hits, "Kha Yoma Kheshli Khlola", written by Mousa and sung by Bassam Slivo, is one of the most-viewed Assyrian songs on YouTube. His daughter, Nagham Adwar Mousa, is also a singer.ميسون أدور موسى وجه اعلامي آشوري جديد
