Satire Song From Palestine



This is one of those rare songs in the tradition of Weird Al write a song with enough pizazz and a great deal of humor. This song goes as come on all of you hungry all the way from Chile to China, come get some in Palestine and feel satisfied.

The some the singer here offers is bombs, bullets, rickets and tear gas bombs, there's plenty of those items that will make you feel satisfied. This is satire angry song about the sad political reality of the land that has been placed under military occupation for decades.

This is a well made music video with some serious music, not just a simple demo, so you know there has been some serious thinking and production value is actually professional grade. Love the singer and his expressions, he brings the words to life with his facial expression and energy.

This music video is part of a larger initiative Aka3 music, eka3 is a pan-Arab organization strategically dedicated to creating, promoting and growing this new emerging wave by pointing it out to the world, and filling in the missing links between this scene & the Arab public.

eka3 is an initiative created by a team of artists: from musicians, photographers, visual artists to film directors.. Innovators who dream of seeing their own works achieve their full potential of reach and exposure, and upon this vision eka3 shares the dreams of musicians throughout the region.

Specializing in the production, distribution, licensing, management, event management and marketing of smart Arabic music, it was founded in June 2007 in Amman, with offices in Amman, Beirut, and Cairo.

Gaalat Diana, Good Looks Don't Make The Song


See the most hyped music video of this year, the one by Diana Haddad and Fadi Haddad--no relation. We were told this music video will be the hottest thing, coolest concept and a great theme. They said, there will be 12 looks for Diana and there was that, some cool affect were also used, but sorry the song still sucks.

Diana got her awesome look back, she seems to have taken at least 10 years, but all those looks turned the music video into a poor fashion show that serves no purpose. Yes, they have a good budget, but those outfits are all gone to waste, in my opinion.

I guess some out there might find this music video fun, but it has nothing new, those who like it might be either blind fans of Diana Haddad whom we love or just people who do not see as many music videos. In other word, if this music video came in the 2000, it would have been sweet, but for 2011 is nothing to get excited it about.

Angham has a lot of happy songs in her career, even thought her marriage did not work too well and her own father was not on the best terms with her, but she does not stop making some of the finest Arabic music. While she is talking about her new projects, and she will be filming a new music video from her latest mini album--the funky one.

The mother of two cute boys has did well raising them so that must speaks volume of her motherhood. But this is a music blog so let's talk about one of her songs released in 1993, Shan6it Safar, travel suitcase. About her longing to the lover. She sounds broken and at loss.

If you are looking for a really sad song, or if you want to know how it feels to be left behind when your loved one is away. See why women are different than men, and how emotions take a heavy tool on them in their distance

Modern 2 Album, All The Young Guns






This is one of the best ideas of marketing music, you bring a collection of those young stars who want to release some of their songs in an album and there are so many of those nowadays. But to produce an album it costs a fortune. So the smart singers make a single and hope for the best.

This where some smart marketing comes in, you get an album franchise call is Modern1, Modern 2...etc. and put out a collection once a year. So last year they released one CD and helped give some young artists a platform, now this year they came back with version 2 with more songs and more artists.

Each of those artists get some name recognition, their picture and name is out there. There are just too many singers out there and some of those young artists may chose to pursue singing as a career or just find something else. As for sales, you can always push sales for the album in each appearance in concerts of TV, so it's a mutual benefit.

"Drunk" in Lebanese Is Pathetic



Club setting, red velvet rope and a carpet like you are about to walk into a club, a babe in a mini skirt and a hot rod shows up with a security case, then she pops out a CD, giving it to a creepy looking DJ. Then the magic starts, and strange looking nakes ladies emerge in that abandoned parking lot to party with Fuad Fares.

Drinking is one thing, getting drunk is another. We have wrote about this music video before and now it comes out with Fuad Fares acting like some kind of godfather in a club and a pimp cane. The young ladies are dancing their tails off to please this singer. It's like watching many western music videos and then joining down whatever things you liked and then toss them together.

Walid Al Massih usually makes good music videos, no one will ever find this one any good. This English song is the last thing the clubs in Lebanon need, if it's not a great song in English, please Arab stars do not worry too much, stick to Arabic..you may get played by the radio.

Kathem Al Saher Dazzles Morocco's Festival Mawazine



The Moroccans enjoy serious Arabic music unlike many other Arab countries that love their pop before anything else. Kathem Al Saher is a household name in Arabia, but not everyone enjoys his concerts the same way. It's not about getting crazy and rioting like most of those pop stars do it.

A Kathem Al Saher is about your brain and your emotions, but before anything else your ear is the most important tool to enjoy those concerts. In Morocco's grand music festival at Festival Mawazine, only the serious musician stand the test of those thirsty fans for the finest Arabic music. Yes and there are tourist from all over the world that happen to be in Morocco for this Festival.

Here is a clip from Kazim Al Saher concert there last week and boy, did he get in the zone or what? He performed his latest tile song Dala'a Al Nisa' and see the fans were all about this actually hip song that has a catchy beat. It's not one of those poem songs Kathem is known for, but rather a hip version of a very serious song.

Kathem has left no place without performing there, he has traveled millions of miles and have entertained millions in thousands of concerts and events. I am sure Morocco makes him feel at home and so the hundreds international and Arab performers who have appeared on this global stage.

We Malna, The Album of the Summer




Bahaa Sultan is about to released the album that will sell the most in the year 2011. It will be the first Egyptian album from an A list singer to come out once Mubarak was made to retire.

If everything goes well and the promo made a great case, this will also be the greatest album to come out this year. With a great title, a great label Free Music and a a top notch producer Nasr Mahrous. I am really looking forward for this album. I hope people would love if people buy them album to support it and help make things legal.

Now with the music video out, I am in love. This is a great music video, about the music, not exotic dancer and revealing clothes. The song could apply to various setting. This could be a song about the future Egypt and the troubles there. About the lack of security. It can be also about lovers who have lost trust in each other. I think the vagueness makes it all worth it.
