Vocal Coach Reacts to Soula 3 with Mohamed Assaf, Dalal Abo Amna & Zaki Sherif 

Arabs clap and sometimes say the word “Allah” when the singer hits a great note or they evoked emotions in the listener so they clap, so it’s just to show appreciation for the singer.

5:40 she clapped and felt emotional ,she was speaking about refugee camps of Palestinians ,and how they got separated from their home and beloved ones

That scale is called “Saba” which is specialized for the tragedy/grief/sadness and it’s one of the most hardest scales ever that demands you to charebemole a note to make it as a quarter tone that discriminates The oriental’s Scales compared to the others so when the clapped she just has done the Scale perfectly from the beginning to the end therefore they clapped and it’s called in arabic “ Saltane” which means that you’re completely in the mood by being numbed musically as same as the hang over when you get high and get into the mood when you get kinda drunk so it begins by closing the eyes and start listening carefully to each single oriental’s note and word she says so to know more about that you should dig into our culture and our scales which are the oriental’s scales (Arabic scales) to be able to understand what i’m talking about so do more reactions on our fav. Traditional’s genre of Arabic music which is. “Tarab” the real term of Arabic’s style and music so do more reqctions on mohammad assaf arab idol (Kullida kan leh) , walaa al joundi , cindy latty , dalal abu amneh and more and you would gradually understand any of what i say and dig into our musical’s culture day by day and you can also search on National arab orchestra and the voice Arabia /the voice kids arabia also and there you go btw you got a lot of fans in middle east and i’m one of them coach thus we’ll be waiting for more reactions on Arabic music not the stupid modern one nah the one that explained before and good luck hope you enjoy it and welcome to our culture

the point where the other lady clapped was when the singer was naming Arabic cities that are populated by Palestinian refugees "yarmouk" & "Ain el helwe"....the Palestinian cause is very big emotionally in the Middle East...you weren't rude :) love you're videos

The voice crack is done purposely to create deep and intense sadness and emotion.

Thanks a lot In fact, the blonde women singing is dalal abu aminah, one of the greatest contemporary arab voices now, and the one standings beside her and crying is assala nasri one of the greatest arab divas, This is special indeed, she's singing about her brother who is in jail captured by the enemy during war and how life has been sad and difficult without him for her and her parents because they miss him so much. This is part of assala tv show called soula where she gathers in each episodes some singers and the chit chat and sing un a very spontaneous way, this episode was a very special one

Mohammed assaf 🇵🇸❤️ he is the Winner from arab idol. A very Great singer from palestine❤️

They clap when the singer’s voice cracks because it is conveys intense emotions and extreme sadness.

Dalal abu Amne is singing in a Maqam called Saba. It's a sort of a "scale" in Arabic music. This Maqam is notorious for its heaviness and sadness. The second note of this scale is 3/4 step from the root. The 3rd is a minor 3rd, the 4the note is actually the major 3rd and the 5th is the narural 5th, the 6th is the minor 6th, then the dominant 7 and the 8th note is actually the major 7. In other words this scale has both minor and major 3rds and doesn't end in the root's octave. It's a very special Maqam indeed. Her voice keeps cracking and sliding up and down because she is emitting crying and wailing. The song she is performing is about longing for those who have left or died, specifically in the context of the Palestinian displacement and ethnic cleansing. They clap usually to show solidarity of emotions and appreciation. Thank you for the video

The lady to the left and the guy who started singing are Dalal Abu Amneh and Mohammad Assaf. Both Palestinians and are basically singing a song about Palestinians who were displaced by Israel in 1948 when a million Palestinians had to live in refugee camps. The song is about a girl singing to her brother and asking him to come back home because she loves and misses him. The main sentence meant, "for god's sake oh brother come back to mother and dad". If you want to understand why the host was clapping try to sing like them and you'll understand how hard to sing like that and you'll be amazed how they've done it.

she was singing on the "Saba" scale, one of four Arabic scales that use a quarter-tone, this scale is used to express the feeling of crying and sadness.

She's singing about he brother like her brother left home and she's telling about how sad and lonely she felt about it

The cracks on her voice are purposely And you can say that this genre of music is classical Arabic classic music in general

The song is talking about a girl singing to her brother who was forced to leave their homes because of war in Palestine and Syria And she tells him to come back because they miss him so much 🥺 So it is a very sad song full of emotions

The voice is breaking cuz it’s emotional I started crying

Their singing is pure ecstasy

I'm from "ein el helwe" that she mentioned in the song, this is the first time I've heard this. It hits really different when it's talking about you! I almost cried..

This song was a sad song about a family (singer is singing from the sister POV) calling her brother to come back home.. the clap was for the end of the hard vocals in the beginning

She clapped because it was the end of a "wasleh." Did you notice how right after the rhythm changed and became fast? and how more instruments entered the arrangement? Yup, the Mawwal had just ended she went on to sing the more lively part of the song; the meat of the song if you will. Mawwals serve as an a capella preludes to actual songs. They don't have to be an integral part of a song, they can be added, removed or even replaced with other Mawwals; as long as the words are a fit with the song.

What really matters in Arabic singing beside technique is the emotions So Asala clapped her hands because she made a stacatto vocals mixed with so much emotions thats why she was so impresed

There are so many reasons why the woman who set next to the female singer started to cry one because the lyrics talks about how she begging her brother to come back to his home and how lonely it is without him and she cried because she lost her brother after he suffered from a heart attack and died later and second both of the singers the guy and the woman who sings they from palestine and one of them from gaza and in the lyrics they talked about the mother who praying to return to her country so she felt sad for them..

Very wmotive indeed. I just wanted to point out soemthing which was very interesting for me- there was a bit when you said it sounded like a forced vibrato - but it was a european classical trill, which is very unusual in melismatic singing but her vocal control is stupendous, her shift between european style breath cintril and forwrd voice to melismatic and microtonal moduses is quite phenomenal. Just brilliant IMO thanks for that, Diva D XOXO

The voice cracks are intentional they convey sadness and emotion

we are as Arab focusing about the feeling and emotions and sensitive voices as usual instead of the techniques or something like that, that's why she clap I think 5:48

Usually the applause or praise is held back until a pause in the song. As you can see (or rather, hear) they can go on for a LONG time without pausing and its rude to interrupt, so they clap after a particularly long verse, bc going on singing in that way without pausing is really impressive. You'll see it in live performances too, sometimes they clap even before the singer has started singing in appreciation of the music, to show their excitement too, I think. Its just to show that they're invested.

5:27 I think i know, it's the emotion of what she's singing, i speak native (i born in Venezuela, but my parents are from Syria and i learn Arabic before Spanish) Arabic (specifically Syrian Arabic)

Loved ever second!!

Palestinain cultural songs are amazing , it shows the journey of palestinain's conflict and their hard daily life with dealing with the other side is,,raeli

It’s so beautiful 😮💗

Wow, nice autumny words and mood at the beginning of the video, for a change! 😊🍁

she clapped when the voice "cracked" cuz that highlights emotions, its not easy to crack on queue. its when you feel so much that your voice cracks but its a calculated crack not random actual breaking

I just want to point out that the "Breaking" is actually intentional and it is part of the singing. Iraqi traditional singers do this excessively. It makes the song more sad.

Arab singing style mixes chest voice and accents it with nasal singing. The videos you’re reviewing are not the best, Umm Kulthum is one I’d love you to review, she’s the Queen of Arabic singing.

She clapped for the subject she brought up in the song

Hi the place is asalas’ home its like a program in her house , the blonde woman is dalal abu amneh she is Palestinian she sang a traditional songs of Palestinians and there is a lot of emotions because she sang about someone died from the war she say the all the family waiting for him until now they cant believe that he dead

It's emotional song. Prey to god return her brother to her family. Sad song

Thank you ❤️

It's such a sad song basically singing about her brother and how much she misses him and hopes he come home. I don't know if he's just away or dead but that's what I got from it.

She clapped at that climax of emotion, if you noticed in the singing she slightly chuckled or choked (dont know the write word). But at this point it was an intense emotional moment both lyrically and musically

Very emotive and intense singing

OMG how i never met you yet???? so calm so zen. my kind of people

So great 😁

she clapped because of the controlling technics, it is very important to make the maqam (eastern tune) very rich as you described as intense that intensity needs focus, control and well delivered.

WOW!! ❤️

I think she's Palestanien and she's singing like " please come back home brother" like if she's telling her dead brother (or refugiee) to come back home, come back to his land

there r sooo many amazing Arabic artists performings and u giving her this one!!!!

The song tells of the girl begging her brother to come home, because their mother and father are suffering after his absence and miss him.

I respect you a lot I’m sure you really do understand what you’re talking about but !! Arabian music is so different in a better way , and arabian music started first .

5:46 in Arabic music, the "closure" is very important. This is after you explored the maqam ('scale') and went up to the maqam upper 'jins' and neighbouring maqams. The closure is when you come back to the lower jins and rest on the maqam tonal. This is when the audience digests the improvisation and thanks the singer for his/her effort. So she was clapping for the closure. The singer is a very well-established Palastenian singer (Dalal Abu Amna). She has a classical authentic approach to how she approached the Saba maqam. Her voice is heavenly.

The song is traditional, talking about the homeland, the martyrs, and adhering to the homeland and defending it.. As for the melody, it is a traditional melodic style from the sixties of the last century

In the world of Arabic music, the woman clapped because of the deep meaning of a word the singer had just sung

She clapped because of how expressive she was in that moment

Sorry in advance if my comment is too long. First of all yes the arabic music is a lot dofferent , in parts where you consider some cracks or riffs are ( forced ) it is in fact intentional and are serving a purpose . All the people sitting and singing are very popular and respected in the arab world. Second , the woman is singing a very emotional song about her brother who left home and they're waiting for him ; mainly in the arab world it is when they leave for the army , or immigration or being locked up .... This is why the host ( named Assala ) started crying. Third you wondered why she clapped , in the arab culture whe a singer does something impressive with their voice , they salute by clapping ( a sign of resprct and admiration) . The translation of the exact words would make the song lose its emotional value , because of the gaps between languages. It hard to keep up with all kinds of music so thank you for trying ❤

The song is about a sister asking her brother that one day he will come back to his home to his mother and father. She is telling her brother that the coffee is on the fire waiting for him, and that food is being prepared for his return. It touches most Arabs where their home country is in trouble. Especially if they became refugees in a foreign country. Asala "Soula" is a Syrian singer with a Godly voice. She is sad for her home country Syria and her people suffering. She is touched.

Arabic traditional singing is a form of poetry so in Arabic traditional singing a projection of emotion with voice crack and all is very important.

Please listening to Indian/Pakistani singers like Shreya Ghoshal, Atif Aslam and Arijit Singh. The Arabic singing is more like storytelling which is why it has some intense emotions to it. It's very interesting to see all these various styles/skills of singing, everyone is beautiful and unique.

The lady that sang first is a brain surgeon, just saying 😀

The song is about a women telling her brother to come back home. That's why the other singer Assalah cries coz she'd lost her brother back then.

Girl I used to watch your videos a lot and now I love you even more فزنا

The whole song is about returning to home... The singer seems to be syrian and the show presenter setting to the right of the singer is a well known Syrian singer... This presenter is against the regime in Syria and she lives outside of syria... She clapped when the singer mentioned a place in the song where the presenter I suppose used to live before the war in Syria

I like it

A Mawal is a vocal improvisation on a specifc maqam with modulation The lyrics are generally a piece of poem. Here she is improving principally in Saba scale but she also modulates a lot. And no she has nothing in her ears, it s just a tradition to put your hand like that near to your ear it also add some “vibrato” as you said after.

Hiii, i love your videos, wish you keep reacting and analysing singers from every continent (Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, North America, Oceania, Zealand and Europe) i would love that you keep reacting to singers from many different cultures

Aww the cat ❤️❤️😫

This kind of tone rhythm called "alsaba'... It's usually used to sing sad songs

Asala Nasri is a Syrian singer. This meeting was in Dubai at the home of Asala .so Mohammed Assaf is a Palestinian singer, and Dalal Abu Amna shes a singer and doctor in the brain nerves and her husband is a doctor and poet, She focuses on heritage songs because she lives under occupation

The person who suggested this video is a weirdo, this ain't even a performance to be analyzed, it's just a jam session where they have to improvise for fun and this lady was singing about the tragedy happening at home. Second, please stop asking her to react to arabic stuff, she clearly does not care for it nor does she know anything about it or music in general to say the least... talking about "forced vibrato" lmao. That lady's technique is something she could only dream for in her wildest dreams.

of course I could help you out........Anytime

They all are singers and this program is presented by the singer who was drying the tears . She invites only singers each episode.

Maybe she just loved her voice that's why she clapped

Yass assala queeeen of arab vocals

This breaks are normal in arabic or turkish musik

At 5:06 she touched on a higher note with what would be perceived as a crack. When you cry, you get hiccups. This is singing with that "crying" feel. I recommend you listen to the "Nay", the arabic flute, and see how it is played and how octaves get mixed, in an out, and how notes are embellished. Furthermore at 5:16 and 6:30, 7:25 ... actually string instruments are sometimes played with same feel. As an example, take the guitar, play C, and "mute with a hammeron-pulloff" on D for example, and the string will "choke". It will give a special feel. It is intentional, not cracking I hope you noticed what happened at 6:36 , 7:09, 8:42 too.

We need more about arab singers

the song: they left me, they left me along they didn't left me the key where's the parents went? (parents mean not the father and mother but rather the inhabitants the house) they left me, they left me alone without any key the bitterness of the nights, they didn't lighten (I couln't find better meaning) their sent on my mind Yarmouk on my mind (YARMOUK is a village in Palestine) EIN ELHELWI on my mind (another village in Palestine) what happen? (not sure of this verse) Oh home, oh home for God sake, brother, come back home brother, please come back let my heart rejoice again we wont be happy till you come back oh brother, come back home father making us coffe mother asking God so you come back home. this is very emotianal song, she is longing for her brother (who is dead) to come back home.

You are very sweet, I love your videos!

Ok react to that singer tamer hosny and the song is 180 degree What is amazing is that he can go high but never loses his emotions in singing he is considered the best singer at singing with emotions

That is Asala's house

Its about the Palestinian diaspora and the Nakba, she is asking her brother to return to her

She sings an old song about her brother who left to the war

جميل

see with us arabs we read the Quran so thats why i think we have a deep strong emotional voice and we can hold our breath and change from notes quickly and thats why we probably move our heads and hands but you guys have like harmony and like soft voices

she clap because she did very good in the Mawal is type of show the Acoustic ability then after that she start the song

Usually listeners clap for the singer when he hit all tha notes of the maqam /scale/ and manipulate the notes to give emotions or when a singer shifts between the scales . The Arab scales are . Rast, Hijaz, Nahawand, Saba , bayat , kord , sika and ajam . Each maqam has a special taste of its own . Plz react on, Umm kulthum, al atlal الاطلال song /the ruins/ the last part of the song minute 45:00. Or react on Asmahan , ya toyor يا طيور /oh. Thanks birds/ .

She's asking her brother to Come back home from the war and he's probably dead 💔

Thank you so much goergina for reaction to arab singers!! We appreciate so much, and can you please react to mohammed abdo? He's one of the greatest. Thanks in advance much love

I think she was clapping cuz she thought that the singer was about to finish the song

The song is about missing her brother so that’s why the other singer who called Assala was crying because she just lost her brother recently, and I wish you could do more videos about Assala because she is one of the most important artist in the Middle East and I recommend for you to react to ( Assala - Shamekh and - Assala Nasri - Mabash Ana [Holland Symfonia Live and especially this video , m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qVkZNfvH_QA.html , thanks a lot ❤️

No, she clapped because she thought that was the ending, but the singer kept going on defying the human ear and saturating it with more beautiful emptions

This performance was more about the lyrical content than the singing/vocals.

These voice cracks are in purpose !! Its usual in arabic singing to express more emotions

Damn I love my Arabic culture

she sounds as though she's holding back. It is so restrained.

Asala and mohammad are great singers (mohammad was the winner of arab idol in its 2nd or 3th season) but dalal i'm not familiar with and to be honest she wasn't that impressive If you want to hear great musicians you should listen to majida al roumi or joulia butros they are both great singers

Nothing made her clap, she just thought that's it, but the singer continued...

Arabic is The most difficult rhytm to learn. For example bayyati rythm. Other rythm example is a nahawand,bastanjar.

The song really doesn’t make sense but it does sound nice. But the beginning she is saying they left her all alone and they didn’t leave a key, then she’s talking about her brother leaving and her mom praying for him and she’s begging for him to come back and how her fathers coffee is on the stove. And then talks about how beautiful her brothers eyes are. A little bit weird of a song. But i notice that middle eastern music is not exactly the same as western music. It’s very different.

she clapped because she was amazing and yes you are rude

You need to study Arabic music more than that to be able to understand , it is Saba scale most of times it used for sad songs ,, thank you btw

The emotional made her clap , it's not bad but that's not the best if you want the best listen to Zekra , fairoz and OM KALTHOM.💙💙love you.
