حميد الشاعري - ليبيانا - Libyana- Hamid El Shari

Aside from the Qaddafi family, Hamid El Shari is rightfully the most famous Libyan who actually made a name for his country and himself by being the innovator he is in Arabic pop. He has made the career of more Arab stars than, one can count. He gave us more hits than there are numbers.

When trouble in Libya started 10 days ago, Hamid didn't wait and came out against the Qaddafi regime. He stood tall for the people and organized aide caravan to bring in medications and and food to the people of his country. He even made such bold statements, asking the Egyptian army to rescue their brethren in Libya.

But now, what a musician do, if not express his thoughts and sentiments in songs he releases to the masses. Hamid, the artist recorded this song to Libya titled Libyana, our Libya. About their legacies and sacrifices they and their fore-bearers made. The artist takes some time to praises the beauty of Libya--one overlooked aspect. This is a song in the Libyan dialect, something you do not get everyday.
