Ahmad Dari And The Palestine Reconciliation



Here comes Palestine humorist Ahmad Dari with a new song about the Palestine unity agreement. With another cool music video filmed in the Palestinian city of Jerusalem giving the leadership a guilt trip and mocking them gently.

I like the work of this guy and I am a fan, the music for his music videos is often well made, his vocals serve the style and better yet his lyrics are fun. He sounds like a fed up local boy who wants his leaders to work together. But he is no naive, he knows those self interested politicians enjoy such games.

Make sure to catch the Palestinian snail, indicating the slow pace at which reform and unity take place.

Halo Ya Halo Ramdan Classic Gets A Makeover



Abduallah Hassan might be the guy who is singing and it might be the guy who uploaded this video. This is something you can don on a slow Ramadan day kicking it on the internet and listen to those songs, instead of watching some poorly produced TV drama that offers little or no entertainment value.

Yusuf Islam Awaits That Ramadan Moon




Formerly known at Cat Stevens, is perhaps the most recognizable faces of Islam. So no surprise this hit maker of the 70s writs songs for Islam. this is one of his Ramadan songs where he is searching for the Ramadan moon and telling stories of the tradition of this month.

It's an English festive song with a lot of kids in the track and Arabic references for Islam and its pillars. This is a fun song meant for the kids, but you cannot help the niece music that accompanies it, I must add the producer of this song knows a thing or two about it.

Randa Hafiz Seeks Guidance



Randa Hafiz knows those love song very well, her pop persona makes it look easy, but this time she is not going for that look nor the persona. This time she is contemplating asking for guidance in this holy month.

Dare I to suggest that's this is a really good song that serves its purpose and serves it well? Again this is about a servant who is being most humble asking for guidance fro the sky above. This is a surprise hit from Randa who is

Egyptian TV newsroom and radios are carrying this track allowing more people to enjoy this one minute and 57 seconds of awesomeness.

راندا , بطلب الهدايا - Randa , Batlob Elhedaya


لجأت يارب ليك وأنا بطلب الهداية.. ما أنا بتكل عليك في سعادتي وفي شقايا.. وأنا بسجد بالاقيك وبتسمع صوت دعايا.. الوحدانية ليك والحب فيك غاية.. سلمت القلب ليك والأمر بين إيديك... يارب كل حي لكل ولكل حي آية.. والكل رايح جاي عندك في النهاية، لجأت يارب ليك وأنا بطلب الهداية.

It's Not Ramadan in Egypt Until This Song Plays



Egyptians love the season of Ramadan, it's the month of abundance, mercy, fasting and charity. So you know the rich race to give out food and money and the poor almost have something to eat and a reason to celebrate.

But also there is the traditional Egyptian music that usher the month of Ramadan, music made in the 50s, 60, 70s, 80s are the classics of this month, and they always play them at gatherings, on TV and in public. Nothing new compares really.

The song has a chorus of young children, a female and a male leading the song, the song also tells the kids to get excited for the month as it comes bringing all the goods with it. the second song asks the kids to indulge on sweets and bring out their lanterns to join the celebration. This is so Egypt and this is so GREAT!

Ramadan This Year With Kids



Kids love Ramadan, most of them get the treats without having to fast, sure it must be nice that the whole family is gathered around the table. Here's a song by the kids for the kid inside each one of us. There is Arabic, French and English, so this song offers something for everyone.


There is some bright animation to draw the kids too, as long as they just want to wish you a happy Ramadan and teach you a think or two about Islam in such a cool way. I think this is a sophisticated song with great music and fine lyrics.

Bashar Al Assad Wishes You A Happy Ramadan



Bashar Al Assad lives on another planet, he thinks by butchering people left and right he would quell the protests in Syria. So far for five months now, he has failed to stop anything. The protest seems to spread around the country and he is becoming more isolated.

Instead of sending those people food and jobs, he sends them guns and hit jobs. Sure some might still like him in Syria, but as of right now it seems that not many chose that. He has fewer friends and it seems that he is going to murder his way out of Syria and then hide some some basement in Iran or better yet he might be gunned down. So much for the reformer he sold himself to be.

Killing more than 100 people on the even of Ramadan tells you, he is losing it and his regime is hitting all the panic buttons they can find.
