Fayrouz Karawya To Release Egypt's Best Album

Few they are those female Arab singers whose fans cannot tell what they look like. Fayrouz Karawya might just be the best girl to do that and leave the fans hooked fro more indie rock music. Her album "Barah Miny" will feature 13 tracks ranging in style, and lyrics.

Fayrouz is a master story teller, she is a bold activist, she is an original entertainer, she is also a proud women. And you can deduct that form her music and from the story she so well tells. The incredible thing about Fayrouz is her ability to do so much and do it in a way that does not alienate people--any people.

I am reading that the album will tackle Egyptian, Arab and women stories. Most of the songs were recorded when Mubarak was the president. The album will be released in early April--also my birthday! This is one album, I would look for in stores and own forever.

I first noted Fayrouz's work on some file sharing websites based in Egypt. While most chick pop in Egypt focuses on cute stories, Fayrouz looks the other way and comes back with real stories. Those stories are told in her music, and as we wait for her next and first album, we have a promo.

Salah AlZadjali Adores Kuwait And The Ruling Family

Some leaders make their countries better, and people make music to hail the leaders. Other sings do nothing, yet their people make them music that celebrates them. Often times, you can tell the difference. Long before there was Dubai and Doha, there was Kuwait city.

Kuwait is a success story in the Arab world--with the exception of their role in the Iraqi invasion. Its people are highly educated and increasingly sophisticated. The Sabah family has done a good job by not screwing up--the oil revenue is awesome too.

The month of Febraruy has always been a huge day in that country as they turn the country into a one giant party place with concerts and concerts every single that on that month.

Not sure who this singer really is, but I like his voice and his style. C'mon, he is Oman's biggest and only singer. He had a hit song called Ayyar, we wrote about it few months ago

Hatem El Iraqi Songs To Bring Iraqis Home

I love this guy...his name is Hatem El Iraqi, he is the all Iraqi singer whose songs about romance are as famous as his love songs for Iraq. He is one of the biggest names in Iraqi music, and he does songs that bring Iraqis togetnher, like his song last year....Iraq, please do not break me apart.

Thhis is the voice that should come to mind when you think of Iraqi talents. He always has something fresh to say whether musically or lyrically. This is a song about missing the loves ones. You can be a lover, a mother or a homeland.

Most Powerful Arab Women--Don't Have To Be The Hottest

Arabic ladies of pop, politics, music fashion, businesses.... descended unto Dubai for a gala for those most powerful women. Arabian Business does an annual ranking for those powerful ladies.

Out of the 100 powerful women according to the magazine, I would agree on just 20. The rest are there for their looks, fame, money and connection. Just like other men ranking magazine. So in a way the flawed ranking does equate between men and women.

There's many names from Saudi Arabia (money) Yemen (activist), Egypt (media personalities), and of course not to forget Lebanon (singers and directors.) There are few thinkers and authors whom I would place on top of my list. It does not have to be a list of singers and fashion people. So powerful does not mean cute or hot...but instead, someone that saw something others has failed to see.

There's Elissa, Nancy Ajram, Haifa Wahbe, and Fayroz on the same list. Elaph ran through the gala and interviewed the ladies and spoke to few of them. Of course the clebrites are the first to be approached.

"I'm Sorry Mr. President" Humor Is Egypt's' Best Weapon

Here's something that I truly enjoy. This is the history of Mubarak as seen by the poor people and the silent majority. This twisted song that offers apologizes for Mubarak and his cronies. Mohamed Al Nahas is using his dark humor to stick it to the president.

Sorry about the cancer you brought us, sorry about you giving Israel the sweet gas deal. Sorry, I was ungrateful. Sorry I insulted you in Tahrir. I was supposed to bring you in and let the people give you your share of love. This is an accurate history that will make Mubarak's nightmare.

Enjoy....and do not forget about the inflation, the Rafah Crossing, and other ways Mubarak have screwed the people.
