This instrumental piece is called “Ani” which in Iraqi Arabic means “me”. The song is part of an album called “Music as Revolution” sponsored by an American group of civilians; when they were in the country in summer of 2000, they were always surrounded by Iraqi children who wanted their pictures taken, saying “Ani, ani”. Hence the song’s title. VERY VERY simple, but beautiful, instrumental musical piece.

this is one of those desert tunes, simple played with a duff, those arabic guitars and a flute. I have a few of those mp3 tunes. Soothing to listen to when you wanna just unwind.

i am so relieved no one made fun of it. Thank you, CocoNut and Hanie, yeah it's utterly relaxing. So simple, so meaningful. Puts you in another frame of mind where everything is so peaceful.

CocoNut, errrm if you don't mind, if you have the time, i'd love to hear some of those MP3s as well (if you don't mind).

Just think of this as the cure for insomniacs, Khanzada..... :D Waisay it doesn't put me to sleep but baat tau hai that it relaxes me a great deal. It feels like i can drift away with my thoughts. Eik sakoon jaisa nahin milla?

serene simple and sorta trancing.

fills my mind with images of bedouin people, deserts, snakes and clay houses. Or a king being entertained in his court by cute belly dancers. sadly most of these images are western media stereotypes.

either ways, top pick nadia!

speaking of arab music, heres a little arabic.western fusion. not as trancing as Ani but hey :slight_smile:

aw thank you so much cHEeGUm! :flower1: :flower1:
You just made my day.
The one you posted is so interesting, never heard such a fusion before. i love Arab mixes like these - something about them you can just listen to, while you’re reading, writing, daydreaming. :slight_smile: Many many thanks again.
