Evan of Arabia, Iraqi Style Music



Not sure if you know this, there is an Iraqi singer with the name Evan, no he is not Russian, he comes from Iraq and not just that he is an Iraqi artist who does pure Iraqi music "Radi7" Style. A very manly music with lyrics that make you sound like a drag queen from San Francisco. He sure look like he came from the West with his handsome look. From the look of his music video he has not fear doing acting bits in his music videos.

Evan Naji is a young and talented Iraqi singer was made famous with Rouh La Habibi it's a very soft and sweet song, the gooey kind. You cannot really find him on Facebook or any of the other social sites. I bet he is busy entertaining the millions of Iraqis living abroad away from their beloved country scattered around the globe. I have met many Iraqis who long to their country and often go their with their imaginations on the tunes of singers like Evan.

The Iraqi style is very different in its way, it is not like the rest of the Gulf music, it has its own beats, and melodies. It's not quite like the Lebanese and the Syrian style. I think Iraqi music is where the music of Lebanon meets the music of the Gulf, you can see elements of both regions in this music. It's upbeat music, the drum is a must, yet the lyrics are gooey. So you can both dance and feel good about it.
