Egyptian Folk Singer Hakeem 3.0 2011 Album

Hakeem apologized this year for his statements during the revolution supporting Mubarak and attacking the protesters and it seems apology has been accepted. So now comes his album, this might be his tenth album or so.

I dig the new look that hopes to bring Hakeem up to speed with the cool kids. The dude knows how to fire up a crowd and even though his style is local, his fame is all over the Arab world--thanks largely for his funny music videos. This is a delightful album indeed that offers the usual dance beat you come to expect from an Egyptian singer

there are also those heartache songs about the messy breakups and all the things your ex says he did for you, which you threw away according to him. but most of all this album offers music, light lyrics and festive tracks all around. Something Egypt could use right now.
