Quincy Jones' New Record Tomorrow - Bokra

See what happens with music legend Quincy Jones takes on a music project unlike any other project he has embark in in the past. The legendary musician and music producer has worked with many world class singers in the United States, but to take on an ensemble of Arab musicians and other world class musicians to collaborate on a music project adapting his famous song tomorrow.

Iraqi poet Kareem Al Iraqi wrote the lyrics, Majda Al Roumi, the Lebanese diva helped with the lyrics in Arabic inspired by the English lyrics of the original song, Iraqi world class musicians Kathem Al Saher will also perform and has contributed to the composition. Syrian golden diva Mayda AlHenaway will also be sing. Moroccan music producer RedOne (Ridwan) will be helping bring this project to light an wealthy United Arab Emirates citizen who loves music is backing the project.

there are many Arab names that have been attached to the project and we will find out soon more of those names--I saw Libyan Chab Jilani recording. Hussain Al Jasmi, Asma Lamenawar, Saber El Rebai are among the Arab vocalists I see an African American artists also recording the English part. As the short report indicates to get Arabic music side by side with Western melodies is not always easy.

This is a song that is not meant for profit, it's meant for messages and getting the people to relate to one another.
