By the way fayrouz is considered the morning's singer in the middle east. Meaning most ppl coffee shops. Would play her songs mostly in the morning. Due to her soft voice and light short songs.. shes very well known in all Arabic countries. Just like how Michael Jackson is famous in the USA.. and many others in that fact..
In Middle East it’s a must to listen to her songs with coffee am East African Somali and growing up in Middle East we drink Turkish coffee with fyrouz music it’s the most beautiful part of the day 🤌🏾☕️❤️😍
It may just be me, but I think the Arabic indie world has become *very* interesting recently. I would recommend, for example, Egypt's Dina El Wedidi (maybe try Ya Badr, or for something less electronic and studio-oriented, Dawayer, from the album Turning Back--although there probably are some good live recordings up on RU-vid that I haven't gotten to myself yet); Lynn Adib, born in Syria, (I really like her cover of the jazz standard "The Nearness of You" in English and Arabic (the one that's over six minutes longer, not the album closer which is shorter and more experimental), but you could also try some of her originals, like Qualb); self-taught Palestinian singer and musician Haya Zaatry (maybe try Rahwan), a bit closer to western art rock/avant-pop than some of the others, but still with Arab elements; Ghalia Benali (maybe try one of her suis generis Arabic/Renaissance fusion like "Mosabbeb El Asbab); Egyptian rock band Hawas (maybe try Lail or El Tahafoz), etc. Just throwing out some suggestions, not expecting anything. Also, Tunisian Houeida Hedfi's Fleuves de l’Âme, is pure genius, but mostly instrumental. And I hope nobody hates me for so far not commenting on Fairouz, who is of course great. She gets her own playlist on my Spotify account, actually.
Yeah they had to kill his uncle, because he rebelled against the fucking British army for defending his house and farm shame on you you terrorised and stole Palestine
Legends of Arabic music (according to me) Fairouz, Marcel Khalife, Oumaima, Umm Kulthum... Man, I think you should study more ethnically in the Middle East... There are beautiful languages and tones :)
I think Turkish music is as great as Arabic too. I love Ibrahim tatlis and Bulent ersoy.The modern Turkish I love gulsen, Mustafa Ceceli,Buray, and my fav is Ipek Demir &Mert. As a Somali I grow up in Middle East and Arabic and Turkish music are my two favorite.The beautiful authenticity of the eastern music is warm and people in Anatolia are very emotional. I also listen to my heritage music and western music but eastern music is amazing.
@@abdoesmail7723 You want to say that Fayrouz is Turkish?😂 The city of Mardin is basically Syrian Arab city ,Fayrouz is from a Syrian father and a Lebanese mother, The ancestors and family of Fayrouz were displaced from the Syrian city of Mardin in 1915 during the Ottoman massacres, which was called "Sayfo" to cities and towns close to their cities, where most of the residents of those cities and towns are of Syriac "Syrian" origins. Mardin historically belonged to the Levant (until the Treaty of Lausanne removed it from Syria in 1923) and most of its inhabitants are of Syrian and Arab origins. Their situation is like that of the residents of Gaziantep, Urfa, Marash, and Adana, which were part of the Levant until the end of the Ottoman era. The Turk is just an occupier with a black history in this geography.
There is also a turkish version of this song, sung by many singers, the oldest version I guess relased in 1969 by Gönül Akkor - Böyle Gelmiş Böyle Geçer Dünya
As per the composer of the song, the original tune was from Aleppo (explains the cross over to Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Iran) but seems to be an older Indian tune with the same melody.
Even if she is from Mardin that doesn't make her Turkish because Mardin, Antakia, Eskendaron... Are part of historical Syria and they where kicked out of their land by the Turkish by an ethnic cleansing
you don't know what you're talking about. you have a certain image in you head about what "arabic music" is like and you think it's true. Syria/Lebanon and even Egypt, Morocco are mediteranean countries and they were always influenced by their surroundings, so you can't say that the "western" sounds are "unauthentic". you're like americans who think latino = mexican.
