“Abd Al-Aziz Mohammed Daoud was born in 1922, in a village in the Bahri town of Sudan. Bahri sits on the eastern shore of the river Nile and his small neighbourhood is called Hallat Addanaklah.

Daoud sang earlier on in al-kabritah style, or 'matchbox' music (أغاني الكبريتة: the singer gets out a matchbox and sings shaking it the same way old blues masters did in the [American] South), and he excelled at this rare, ur-blues style.

Egyptian master and the soul of Arabic classical music, Mohammed Abdel-Wahab, once said that "a golden singer's throat cannot be found except within Wadeh Asafi in Lebanon, and Abd Al-Aziz Daoud in Sudan." Abu Daoud played with Arab singers like Wadeh Asafi, Fahd Ballan, and African ones like the South African Meriam Makimba.”
