Another classic by the legend known as Amr Diab. Bollywood copied this one by the way.

Funny you should start the thread with "Amr Diab- habibi ya nor el ayn" cuz that's probably the only Middle Eastern song I know the title of, and I love it!

I need to be introduced to more Middle Eastern music.

Love Tamally Maak, but my tastes are older such as Oumm Kulthoum (though I wont post one of her vids as none of you will appreciate her - you need to be subjected to her from childhood.)

But here's a couple you might like:

LOL... yes I like that one though my kids are more into Rai - being half North African.

So since we are talking North African, here's a great one from Rachid Taha:

This version of Ya Rayah is the best one I have ever heard. The concert CD from Paris with him and Cheb Khaled and Faudel, Trois Soleils, is amazing. I really love rai music, but I hate the song 'Didi'. I also love chaabi music. I prefer North African style to Arabic pop music, which I think is atrocious. To me, I associate music like Fairuz, Um Kulthum, Abdel Halim, Sabah with the older generation, like my husband. And every time I hear Fairuz I think it is time for breakfast, because where we lived, people always listen to Fairuz (and only Fairuz) at breakfast time.

Masri, Lubnani and Iraqi popular music reminds me of living in the Middle East and I don't like it at all. Nancy Ajram and Haifa Wehbe make me want to slit my throat.

But I do like this version of Al helwa di: (I don't know how to make it show the video in the same window, sorry)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-mRaTUODHI

The original version of Ya Rayah by Dahman el Harrachi:

Muhammad al Anka, the king of chaabi:

This is the opening of 1,2,3 Soleils with Cheb Khaled, Rachid Taha and Faudel. It starts with the orchestra's piece and then segues into 'Ya Menfi'.

And their version of 'Abdel Kader'.

Faudel, 'Tellement Je T'aime' (tellement n'brik)

Singing 'Aisha', which was my favourite song for years and years and I hated the nasheed version too.

This may be a bit off topic inasmuch as they do not sing Middle Eastern songs, but their own. However, two of the members of the group are from the Middle East (the 3rd is a Catholic from Honduras) so their style, I think, would be Middle East inspired.

Just wondered what you would think of them.

Abdul Halim Hafiz and Faruiz were class, indeed. But my favourite singer is Iraqi singer Kathem Al-Saher........ beautiful and coloful music. When I was a Muslim, it was really hard for me to give-up listening to his music, it's something that I grew-up with! Fuck you, Islam.

Anyway, here's couple of my favourite songs and performances from the great man!

I like Nancy Ajram, but this one is just not right, she can't do the Gulf dialect, what a waste such beautiful lyrics wasted because she can't get the dialect.

Is there another version sung by a proper Gulf speaking person?
