Tunisian Latifa To Egypt, Land of the Plenty



Latifa is from Tunis, she has sort of let the whole Tunisian Revolution get pass her, but she wasn't about to let the Egyptian revolution get by without having a song of hers to commemorate the moment. To be honest some Tunisian voices have criticized Latifah for not doing/ saying enough about Tunisia. She has also been the singer of choice for the Tunisian dictator and his wife. It's not entirely Latifa's fault, she is the biggest star from Tunisia and Egypt is her second home. Latifa delayed the release of her album that was to be released on Valentine day in observance of those events in her home and her second home.

Listen to those really fresh lyrics from Latifa, even though there are more than a hundred songs has been released since the revolution Egypt, this one stand out. The performance, the lyrics, and the music stand as one whole package that beatifies the song. This is the equivalent of a painter working on a masterpiece portrait.

It's not an Egyptian song until you incorporate the instruments the people of Egypt have come to love, the flow and the reference of the pyramids, soccer games, and the common people on the street. Latifa took more than her sweet time to bring this song and it was wroth the wait. I cannot wait to hear her Tunis song. The title is Egypt the land of plenty.
