Also btw Arabic music differs in different Arab regions and countries for example music from the Levant has its own sound, Egyptian music has its unique sound, Iraqi, North African Arab countries. I’m from the Arabian peninsula and our music has its own cultural different sound too with minimal differences from a country to another. Arabic music (and culture) is very complex and interesting because of the Arab region being so big and its influences on other cultures regarding music, food, language, etc. and vice versa.
Arabic music is just another ball of game The richness of language and expression is just insane You can never find such expressions in any other language of the world Language in itself plays a huge role in rhythmicality Even without the presence of any instruments you'll find it extremely beautiful. And if you know arabic, oh man! It is just a treat to your ears!
@@csx3180only the later ones towards 2020! Everything else was mainly Egyptian and Levantine. Egyptian dialect (though it’s also in North Africa) has nothing to do with Algerians/Moroccan/Libyan or Tunisian dialects, that are hard to understand even to Arabic speakers.
What is not true? I am Egyptian and confirm what he has said you don't need to be a linguistic to say that if you already speak arabic @@cheikhsalek7695
@@cheikhsalek7695 “You’re not a linguist” how do you know that? You’re a psychic? 😆 I know exactly what I am talking about as I am an Arab who speaks Levantine Arabic and has been exposed to Egyptian dialect all my life. The only songs using North African dialects (Morocco/Tunisia/Algeria) are towards the end of the video and are songs that become popular during the 2010s onwards. Everything before that was mainly Egyptian or Sham/Syria/Lebanon
That first song lamma bada yatha thanna is SUPER OLD, its about 1000 years old and was composed in Al Andalus Spain when it was still under Muslims Civilization.
I don't think so because the rhythm is more shamy than andalusy because of the word "آمان" I think it's Turkish and al Andalus never been ruled by the Othmans
Fun fact - Umm Kulthum (the Egyptian Icon and whose song you played during the timeline of Arabic music) was a contemporary and great friend of Lata Mangeshkar during their times together - they both released songs that were influenced by each other in their respective markets.
@@ThRaon Search this title " Lata Mangeshkar vs Umm Kulthum أم كلثوم" and you will find a 2 min video showing both singers songs the indian song was influence later on by the egyptian song
The amount of Egyptian songs is not crazy, it is just ok considering that Egyptian population represents 23% of Arabic speaking people. You cannot compare numbers you should compare ratio relative to the number of population
Egyptian music is totally different than any other Arabic or middle eastern music in so many ways it's even the most popular music industry Most of the songs sung in this video are Egyptian songs i recommend you make a special video about Egyptian music you'll definitely love it❤
This video is classic because most of these songs are some of the greatest songs that were ever sung I can suggest many many songs/artists for you to react to I am learning music in university and have enough knowledge to share 😊❤ I watch your videos especially the k/j pop (I am also studying asian studies)
The most common dialect used in songs is the Egyptian dialect. All Arabs sing in it because it is a soft and expressive dialect. Most of the songs I heard are in the Egyptian dialect.
Arabic Music has changed immensely, even since Warde made that viral a capella video. If you want to see modern Arabic at it's finest, listen to Rajieen which includes 25 talented artists from all over the Arab world - all with very different styles from traditional to hip-hop. Also Elyanna who's Palestinian and Chilean and comes with the Arab Latina mix in a very recognisable modern way - amazing vocals, so hope you cover her
Sorry but those singers are hardly Arabic singers. Those beats are simply western hip hop and pop beats, and even the sings have many English lyrics in them. It’s a fusion of western with Arabic music. A new genre.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg Ahmed ya khoya - they are Arabic singers, they are of Arab origin, using Arabic language, talking of their experience of being Arab. The beats are traditional darbuka, which the western world took from Arabic world. The video is called the evolution of Arabic music, and this is an evolution. It's not traditional like Oum Kalthum, or Abdel halim hafez, but it is modern Arabic music that encompasses their roots and yet acknowledging the wider world. It's an evolution...
Fairouz made a big change in the Arabic music. Before the Rahbani brothers the composers of most of Fayrouz songs all the music and songs were very long like 30 minutes to 1 hr like Um Kulthum songs. Fayrouz songs were short 2 to 3 minutes with a mix of western and Arab melodies. This was really a revolution in the Arab music, and this is the reason why Fayrouz was so iconic. Fairouz is very courageous performer and was never scared of trying new things like singing on Jazzy rhythms. Fayrouz is over 85 years old now but her songs still very popular.
There's an Egyptian singer called "Hakim".. he sang with Don Omar in "Tigi Tigi" and with Olga Tañón in "Ah ya albi".. you need to listen to these too.. there're many collaborations between Arabic and Latin music

Old Arabic music it's so complicated, what I mean that all the songs back there it was telling U the meaning and the feeling through the instruments, words, Singers sound tones . if U speak Arabic you will feel the instruments talk to U and to each other with the singer .
Welcome to the world of Alaa, I would suggest other collaborations of his like the Um Kulthoom medley and mix of Arabic and English songs and shorts like Leila/Hero etc. His channel is a treasure grove.
I am an Arab girl I hope that you will provide more content on Arabic music, as it is very rich and you can listen to it with translation Much love ❤️❤️
Arabic music is so emotional and has so many types based on the region . think of English accents , but on a whole other level. sometimes you need to read the lyrics to understand, but the emotions is always there. unfortunately , the quality in the recent years has become less about music and more about hype . if you wanna drown in beautiful and soulful music, you need to go back a bit. trust me, you won't be disappointed .
So he did a beautiful job showing how Arabic music evolved, he's talented don't get me wrong and the choice of songs was beautiful ... Arabic music has a different structure than western, it's closer to Indian music ... Each region in the middle east and north of Africa, is very different on how they sing because it's deeply woven into the culture ... The regions that I would say were the cradle of Arabic music would be Egypt as it was basically the Hollywood of it's time having Movies, TV shows and music ... Anyone who wanted to be someone would go to Egypt ... Second region would be Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq ... Lebanon was also the equivalent of Egypt. That region gave birth to a plethora of stellar artists, and they had started in Egypt as well, you'd find out that they a big chunk of their music was done in the Egyptian dialect. Third I would say is Yemen, a lot of artists in the gulf peninsula to this day sing a modernized version of ballads and their accompanying melodies/composition that originated in Yemen ... Now the north of Africa aside from Egypt have a very unique style of singing that did not follow the heptatonic scale in Egypt, they use a pentatonic scale giving them a unique form of music. I could go on for a long time 😅 and would love to have something similar to a panel discussion because it's a lot to just write. Let me know if you'd be interested in certain recommendations. Cheers
If we're going to talk about Arabic music, that's a huge topic that one response might not even cover. The Arab world is super diverse with different dialects and musical styles, and history has had a big impact on the type of songs produced. There are times when we see a lot of sadness and deep emotion in the music, and other times when it’s all about happiness and trying to forget the sorrow. For example, music from the Gulf is different from that of the Levant, or Egypt and Morocco. Each region has its own unique style in terms of lyrics, melody, and how they express emotions like sadness and joy in their music. I’d love to see your reactions to Arabic songs and music because they really deserve to be shared widely, and who better to do that than your channel? You guys truly enjoy and understand music.
The first song, “When He Was in Brown Clothes,” is an Egyptian song, and the rest of the songs are in other Arabic dialects, Saudi Arabia and Syria. They are all in the Egyptian dialect except some_ from Egypt ♡
In terms of appreciation of Alaa's huge effort, he actually sang songs from all around the middle east region the north african countries egypt,sudan, levant area,iraq and the gulf area and he mastered all of these songs with diffetent dialects.
This should be called the transition of moden arabic music because Arabic music is much older and started in iraq and later developed during the middke ages by Ziryab also from Mosul in Iraq, he founded the 5th string to the Oud and hes well known in Al Andalus Spain under a different name where he spent the rest of his life.
Great video, guys, but I just want to note that the music in the early stages of the evolution was andalusi, not tribal at all in fact very sophisticated, and also if may keep in mind that we, as any other music scene, have alternative/ indie music that witnessed massive evolution and progress especially in the modern era, the Ala'a wardi video focused on what was the most popular songs of each era. Thanks for the lovely video 🙌
the dialects changes thats why the words became different half way at the start is was mainly egyptian with some lebonnes and syrian then some of the gulf countries and a song or two from iraq my home land
if you will speak about the best Arabic song era for me it was 1990s to 2010 ... My Favorite Arabian Artist is Najwa Karam as known (The Sun of the Arabic Songs). . She Have a big archive since 1989 until today. High quality Strong voice, Great albums and hits in 1990s , amazing stage live concerts performance. I Hope one day you do reaction on her music videos and her live concerts 🤗
Arabic songs have beautiful and poetic lyrics! I wish you guys could understand the language to experience the beauty of it 😩❤️ By the way, in this compilation, he sang in different Arabic dialects like Egyptian, Kuwaiti, Saudi, Iraqi, Moroccan, Lebanese… as well as standard Arabic.

heyy u guys should check a song called “etazalt el gharam” by majda al-roumi i bet that u ever heard of something like this before its a song that never gets old in middle East and arab in general +++ and there’s another artist called “sabah” shes an icon and we grow with her songs she has a song called “Get the mijwiz, ya aboud” she did sing it live and it was a really good show u can see her real personality and she was so comfortable there so she did a good show full of a unbelievable high notes (she once said it has to take a 15year of hard working from her life to do a song like this) i really wanna see ur reaction about these two songs thx for ur videos 💘
Curious to see you guys listen to Arabic rock music or a modern take on Arabic songs, there are a lot of cool rock bands that are Arab and they produce and remake a lot of iconic Arabic songs for example Jadal band, Massar Igbari and El- Morabbaa' band
omg guys!!! I love this video so so much thank you for reacting to it! There is also another video of the same artist, I hope you can check it out "Fairuz Medley (Alaa Wardi & Haifa Kamal )"
Btw when you said the phrasing and rhythms changed, it was because he started singing music from the gulf rather than Egypt. Egypt is known for more complicated music. Pretty much all the older songs were Egyptian. The last few were all from the Gulf.
My friend, Saudi music has not changed significantly because the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was never colonized, so the culture has remained largely unchanged over the years, without being influenced by other cultures. There are two types of music: modern and traditional. But let me take you on a journey through the traditional. In the Arabian Peninsula before Islam, poetry was one of the most important historical elements, preserving history and stories over the years. Arabs were famous for memorizing and passing down poetry, and of course, writing poetry was extremely difficult. The number of poets was very limited due to the difficulty of writing it, with many rules, almost like musical scales, with specific rhythms and rhyme schemes. Poetry in Saudi Arabia varied from region to region in its structure and rhythm. Each area had its own unique rhythm and dialect. Before wars or occasions like weddings and celebrations, members of the tribes would gather and sing songs that matched the surrounding circumstances. For example, before battles, they would sing songs with frightening words, boasting of their bravery, strength, and history. Hold on, hold on-I know I’m talking about music, but you need to understand this context to grasp the rest, haha! In times of peace, they would write and sing poems about love or separation. In most countries, music is composed before the lyrics are written, and the melody takes precedence over the words. However, in Saudi Arabia, it's the opposite. The lyrics are written first, followed by the melody. This often makes it very difficult for the composer to match the music to the words, and even the singer finds it hard to pronounce and sing some of the lyrics. If you have a map of Saudi Arabia, you'll notice that the Eastern region has more than six different dialects and three distinct singing styles. Their songs are usually filled with joy, love, and longing, influenced by the sea and maritime life. The central region, on the other hand, is a desert area with a history of conflicts and harsh living conditions, so the lyrics are strong, often talking about betrayal and treachery. The Western region, being coastal and home to the city of Mecca, has a wide variety of musical styles, reflecting the influence of pilgrims from around the world. The Northern region, with its tough terrain and challenging life, has sad songs about separation, longing, and memories. The Southern region is agricultural, and its music is characterized by soft, sweet lyrics and accompanied by distinctive dances. When listening to Saudi songs, you must pay attention to the lyrics, because the melody is part of the words, and you won’t fully understand the music without understanding the lyrics. Some of the most famous Saudi singers include Talal Maddah, Mohammed Abdu, Abadi Al-Johar, Rashed Al-Majed, Abdul Majeed Abdullah, and Rabeh Saqer. You will definitely notice differences in their singing styles since each comes from a different region. I'll tell you more about each of these singers and their best songs another time. Your channel is fantastic, and your musical ear is truly impressive. I love following your content! ❤
