This is not a song, it's an intense symphony for Tunis by one of her own sons. This extended musical composition took few weeks to execute in a way worthy of Tunisia and its people who inspired the Arab people that change is possible. The Tunisian started something beautiful, something that the masses have been waiting for for ages. Saber Al-rubaie Tunis song leaves you wanting more of this style, but it satisfies your senses.
We were all touched by the act of those brave men and women who stood high and walked tall to overthrow the dictator. Their act have been replicated in other countries and for more to come. Egypt picked it and ran with it, now Libya Bahrain and Yemen all on the same steps. But not enough songs have been released to celebrate the Tunisian moment.
There are half a dozen of mainstream Arab stars who come from Tunisia, but it seems none of them had the time to release a song to honor the revolution until Saber Al-rebaei, the pop star and king of the mellow romantic songs just released his song for Tunisia, "the good land" in English, Al Ard Al Tayebah in Arabic. It's actually a well thought song, it's not rushed those songs usually feel. Saber took his time to give us this song that will live on becasue it plays like an honest conversation that an artist has before they approach a subject. Saber walk us through his line of thinking of why he is recording this song.
He sounds sincere, touched, and the music is well written, again this is not your average song this is an epic tale that took the collaboration of scores of artists. I enjoyed the exchange the singer has with the chorus. The original Arabic music is clear in this song toward the middle it gets better. But the Western influence is also present at the beginning of the song.
