Arabic Music
 

There's gotta be some arabic fans out there. I personally really like old arabic pop stuff, Sabah, Fairuz, Wadi Al-Safi, etc. Traditional stuff is cool, too. Anything from Parlophone's Voix de L'Orient is great.

Could you post some videos of popular stuff to give me\us an idea...?

Marcel Khalifeh, Charbel Rouhana, Lena Chamamyan

I'd like ta, but it says I don't have enough posts. Hang on...

Thanks...and yeah you need 15.

Hopefully you find this place to your liking and stick around until then.

Armenian Lena Chamamyan has the most angelic beautiful voice. I love her music. Syrian jazz. Who would have thought.

no way could i listen to a 45 minute chant of "kill the infidel":finger:

Fairuz - Ziad Rahbany -
and Soap kills: oriental techno band. they're great

I have albums by Khaled (Algerian Rai singer) and Hamid El-Shaeri (Egyptian Al Jeel musician) and they're both really good, highly recommended stuff. Both play Arabic pop styles, so they shouldn't be too difficult for Western ears.

Cheb Khaled is good ... also in rai music there's "Sawt al atlas" really good music.
Sadly arabic pop is deteriorating more and more.
