Homophpbia In Arabic Music

The subject of homosexuality almost never makes to Arab entertainment. Few movies have dealt with it, most notable is Youcobain Building movie where there's a gay journalist. But here's a song , a recent one indeed that brings up the subject of homophobia, as the groom is getting ready to learn how to dance.

His pal says, Consider me Your wife....as he seeks to teaches him how to dance. then the groom loses it and pushes his friends away. Even thought a lot of practices of Arab men can be border gay, kissing and holding hands.

This is not a cultural statement, but one about the arts. So the not so gay singer who has homophobia goes around with his bachelor party where they feature an almost naked exotic dancer. this is also not part of the Arab culture, but why let the fun stop? The gay guy might just be a bit more conservative and discreet about his business than those guys who cannot hide their love for the ladies.

Mohamed Rahim, My Guy Crush

Mohamed Rahim is one of the better known original young composers, he is the go to guy for a soft and tender guitar hit that will climb the charts. He gave Elissa half a dozen of her popular songs.

But he also has a stand alone music career with the Pyramedia company that is working hard to establish hit feet as a singer. We already know he can write music, his voice is also quite impressive.

Abd El Fattah Greiny Cooler Than You All!

It takes a hip Moroccan pop singer Abd El Fattah Greiny to make what I call the coolest Arabic music video you have seen in a really long time. The song is about having good intentions, and the intention is to give you a really trendy and a catchy song.

Abd El Fattah Greiny best himself this time around, he opted for something fresh, and that we we all got with this music video. Before he did a lot of love stories and was cool in those too, but this time around everything is awesome. The colors, the hair style and those bright outfits.

Borrowing from recent Arab viral videos (Alaa Wardi), American rap/pop a Capella songs and the hottest entertainers, Greiny has figured out a formula. Even the back story with the Melody man is pretty funny if you are familiar with the character--they have a full feature film playing in Egyptian theaters.

You don't have to have a million dollar to make something that people will enjoy, you only need some fresh concepts and be willing to try whatever it takes.

Is Milk And Honey The Best Arabic Song?

See a lot of commentators swamped my blog defending a singer called Zayne. on this blog. I knew nothing of his song, I only had issue with using a belly dancer as a prop that has nothing to do with the reality. It's so stereotypical and so tired. But Zayne is not alone. Here's another group that has little knowledge of Arabic culture, but that did not stop them from bastardizing the culture. While everyone has the freedom to express their speech, I have the same right too.

I doubt that, but that doesn't stop some people on the internet from arguing that this techno dance song that makes little sense in Arabic yet alone in English qualifies to be the best Arabic song.

I have seen terrible songs in my lifetime, but this one is not terrible, it's just weird. Getting some dark person dressed like an Indian to sing Arabic doesn't qualify as an Arabic song. Hear me out, this this song mute the volume, play any Greek, Russian, Persian, Turkish song and the song will be OK for that song too.

The ladies are fine looking, specially the Britteny Spear wannabe, sure that's what you get hot in Europe, Germany in particular.

Per This:

Milk and Honey is a German Algerian duo consisting of Anne Ross and Manel Filali. German music producer Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen formed the duo under the Warner Music Group label in 2006. Their first single, "Habibi (je t'aime)", reached the 16th place on the German singles charts and remained on the charts for 12 weeks.

Listen to Best Of Haifa 2011

She married an Egyptian, she is Lebanese, her business is in Lebanon and she is the first rate celebrity. she is rightfully the hardest working celebrity out there and she knows how to close a deal. It's amazing how far she went with very little. Most Arabs like her, but I think now her challenge is to get her label Rotana to beef up her album, she is done recording it but the company has been lazy releasing this album of hers.

Ever since the activity known as Parkour or PK for short has emerged and the young of all corners of earth have embraced this sport/activity.
