i don’t know where i got this song from, i was listening to some instrumental pieces on my RealOne and my eyes fell on this… Anyways, the name of the album (according to the clip’s info) is “Arabian Nights Party”, and the name of this piece is apparently Arabica Latina. i like the beginning Arab parts in it, mixed with a little bit of Latin (it feels like), but the ending of it is sort of not really my style. Something that i don’t think i would enjoy listening to too much. Just thought i’d put this up incase someone else enjoys it…
The beginning is very promising, i thought, but it gets worse after that. So if you don’t like it, then sorry for wasting your time
Nadia, dont be discouraged. I loved this song (yah I got weird taste) and saved it :D. Post more if you have em or gimme the link to where the rest are at.
Flamenco/Salsa and Gypsy have had a profound effect on the Arabic music in the Mediterranean region. Here is a song by Nawal al Zoghbi (who is Lebanese) singing in Arabic over Salsa music.
Enjoy.

I have a few more lying around. I gotta reduce the file size to less than 5 Megs before I can uplaod them here. Working on that part :D
Here is a fusion of Flamenco and Rai.
The lead singer Of Alabina - Ishtar - is half Egyptian and half Moroccoan. The remaining members of the goup are called Los Ninos de Sara. Here are 3 tracks from their self-titled album Alabina, released in 1997.

Next track - Habibi Ya Nour El Eyn - was originally sung by Amro Diab (You may remember). There is also a Paki group that sang this song as well (Urdu and Arabic). The following is Alabina's version though. Habibi De Mis Amores (Habibi Ya Nour El Ein) - Alabina

5Abi, Qrius, and Spoon - You three are so kind :flower1: i was certain no one would reply to this thread in a positive manner. Thank you, all three of you :flower1: Really appreciate it.
5Abi - Try this one and let me know what you think about it. Check out that Kurdish pop song - kinda weird though. i wish they offered a bit more variety in their selections. If you’re into a bit more diverse Arab/Turkish/Kurdish music, then it’s nice for beginning.
Spoon, Stop hanging out in World Affairs and post more of your Latin selections in Audio :flower1: (Just joshin’ :flower1: ). i really enjoyed the one you uploaded by Shakira, “ojos asi”. i have been meaning to refresh your threads regarding Rai and Latin music, will do that Insha’Allah when i have some interesting clips to refresh the thread with.
Thank you, 5Abi, Qrius, and Spoon. Really appreciated.
thanks spoon..even though that i have no clue about wordings or anything..i enjoyed it..sounded very interesting :-)
Nadia, no need to thank me :-) Btw, i checked out the link you passed to 5abi..its interesting..i think i'll keep checking it from time to time..thanks. The only turkish music i heard before is of tarkan..and even though that i don't understand it..i think some songs sounded nice.
Arabic and Latin music were never my fav. As a Arab I never listen to arabic music, I'm kinda strange I love something that is different then my own tongue.
“Just joshin”? Yeah.. we know you’re from Canuckistan
But seriously, I do have to get away from that WA stuff.. it’s just annoying anymore! I don’t know what I’m gonna post next but I have to switch browsers to do it.. I’ll be back in a while tho :k:
Qrius, no problem.. I’ll have a translation for you when I come back (hopefully :)).. for now, the title means “eyes like yours”
OK, here are english lyrics to “Ojos asi” by Shakira. I tried doing it the lazy way of copy/paste.. but I couldn’t find any in english that were right.. so, this is mostly my corrections so blame me if something is wrong. I can’t verify the Arabic, so that’s in [li]s.. this was my source, along with the song :)[/li][QUOTE]
Yesterday I knew a sky without sun
and a man without a home
a saint in prison
and a sad song with no name
[Let’s go, let’s go*]
and I knew your black eyes
[Let’s go, let’s go*]
and now it seems
I can’t live without them
~~I asked the heavens for only one wish
that in your eyes I can live
I’ve traveled the whole world
and there is one thing I must tell you
I’ve traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I’ve gone from the north to the south pole
and I couldn’t finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
[God of the sky, the granter
In her eyes I see my life
I come to you from this world
Please God grant my request..*]
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the south pole
and I couldn’t finds eyes like those
like the ones you have~~
yesterday I passed a woman
underneath her camel
a river of salt, a boat
sunk in the desert
[Let’s go, let’s go*]
and I saw your black eyes
[Let’s go, let’s go*]
and now I know
I can’t live without them
I asked the heavens for only one wish
that in your eyes I can live
I’ve traveled the whole world
and there is one thing I must tell you
I’ve traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I’ve gone from the north to the south pole
and I couldn’t finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
