While he is a household name in all corners of the Arab world, Hussain Jassmi came from the United Arab Emirates with a hit song in 2001 (Bawada'ak), Saying Goodbye. It was a touching emotional song about breakups and having to live with it even thought you still have some feelings.
Ever since and this singer has been taking the Arab listener to new territories and have been making some respectful music and mature music videos about real issues like mixed marriages, the Hijab and drug abuse.
But in 2007 he was the first Arab star from the Gulf to do a theme song for an Egyptian movie Alraheena "The hostage", the song was an instant hit and opened the Egyptian door wide open to this star. In 2009 came another song in Egyptian that was the song of the year and kept playing in the radio. The 6 O'clock song is that one I am speaking of about waiting for your loved one to show up on that date, and then you have to wait for eternity. This is a bittersweet song that gets stuck in your head for a while.
We have Waleed Saad, the hip Egyptian composer who put the music for this very catch tune and bringing us the best of Hussein Al Jasmy. Al Jasmy is busy between Dubai and Cairo working on his next album and various projects. Way to be the complete star who respects the taste of all his listeners and refuse to go for sexy.
