Helwa Ya Balady Awesome Remake



So everyone in Egypt and outside knows this song, it has been remade only a million time. this original song performed for the first time by Dalida, the daughter of Egypt and Italy. It's the unofficial anthem of Egypt, it's a worthy song that all Egyptians adore as it triggers load of emotions.

This time Jala, a young up and coming singer from Egypt made a good choice by covering this song and staying loyal to its roots and original emotional baggage. The way the music video was directed it really col and original the way they incorporated YouTube /Facebook/ flicker and other social media outlets.

Some wonderful images of the revolution are also there. I am sure the legendary musician Balegh Hamdi who put the original music would be happy with this cover. Not sure with Jala has plans for or what the future hold for her, but I know that this song of hers was a smart choice to standout.

Jala - Helwa Ya Balady / جالا - حلوة يا بلدى
