The Local Singer Meets Local Girl "حسام جنيد"


Hussam Jineed chose the Syrian beat and Bedouin lyrics to launch his career, I must say those were too good choices. The Syrian singer knows how to party how not and he is the night of the party in those Syrian villages and towns. Most young dudes in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan adore this style of music. It's very youthful and dancey. The lyrics are catchy and the Hussam's voice is energizing.

The music videos for those songs tend to be made by someone who is anew comer to the director chair. So, you never know what one gets. But for a local singer to film a music video it means he has gone mainstream which entails a larger paycheck at the local parties and weddings. I find myself enjoying such songs because I feel they are part of the folklore songs, it connects us with the past. It might offer a modern twist on folklore songs, but I know this the lyrics and at least one musical instrument tend to be from that era.
