Lets Talk Music (1)

Brought to you by Three.

The following has been my favorite song for the past two years or so, the artist is the Lebanese Hiba Mounzer, not very known, but very gifted I can assure you. I was really surprised at the reactions this song got when it first came out, up until this day not a lot of people know of this song or like it, have they all gone deaf?

More people are becoming familiar with the Jordanian uprising star Aziz Maraka and his band; Razz. Some Jordanian radio stations including MazajFm often play Aziz’s most popular songs like Bent El Nas, Lahali, El 3atwa and Amman (The Story) which are also among my favorite songs, but not a lot of people heard his song Laish Habeebi, which I personally consider his best.

Aziz Maraka – Laish Habeebi

2ad El Kawn, again, one of the greatest new Arabic songs , composed and performed by our own uprising Jordanian star; Fadi Haddad. This one you can hear a lot on MazajFm.

Shifting to Africa, Algeria to be specific, and Souad Massi.  I listened to a lot of her songs, couldn’t relate to some of them since they’re neither Arabic nor English, but the Arabic ones made it to my favorites list. The music is outstanding, the lyrics are very sweet, her voice and performance are beyond amazing.

Souad Massi- Ghair Enta

Going back in time, here is the song that fits my mood right now, Eshta2t Li 3azabek for the Lebanese Ghaleb Antar, an amazing not-so-popular song.

عزاب العالم كله, كله, أهون من غيابك   :(
