Arab Singers "Holier Than Thou" Bullshit


In my mind, most of these artists pose as decent family people--some of them are really good and average run of the mill human being. For the rest they are nothing but a group of jerks with little moral character. The man and the women of the entertainment industry are a bunch of whores. Now, in public they put on a face, and pretend to be decent but in private all best are off. Now I say this because one artists is holding a launch party for a controversial song. See how they attack one another and get into one's business.

In her song, Chams tries to shame folks into holding into a false religion. The song is an attack into religion and people who believe. Fella was playing some new character, I do not see any real voices on the scene....she does not see any talent. She only had good words for Najwa Karam. Then she talks her self up. Then she talks about how she does not pay for her songs, because she gives a diamond voice. So the song is about attacking people who say one thing and do another, but Fella had no qualm attending an event with her peers, but a the same time, she does not seem them talented. And yes, Fella had her plastic surgeon at the party.

Fella has a great voice, but she is full of herself, way too much. She even rings her own voice....I do not know what to say.

The Sweet @SamoZaen And @Kenza_Morsli Epic Romance And Music Muse


Algerian up and coming songstress Kenza Morsali has teamed up with Syrian pop star Samo Zaedn on a new duet. Their song is meant to tell an epic love story like no other, and it seems people of the internet agree. Fresh of Star Academy Kenza Morsali found her biggest fan in Samo Zaen who wanted a project and the two got an amazing song.

Throughout his brilliant career Samo Zaen have had many hits, now he find a different project and a different character to play. He has done many passionate love songs in the past. This time he is an author searching for a muse and he did find one in Kenza.

It's a sweet song no question asked. I wish we had a lot more time to anticipate this song. I believe this is a collaboration worthy on one's time. Both artists play and sound like a believable romantics in their quest to find the right one.

The credit goes to the artists for hiring the right people for this song. I think Kenza will benefit from this song, we sort of miss those type of mellow love songs that bring together a male and a female artists.

Love story talks about a book that lists tried a new story to the story become a real and not a tissue of fiction after that coexistence with love and fantasy stories to be part of the novel realistic !!!

Wael Jassar Covers A Warda Original In "Aal Eih Beysaalony"


Before pop songs, there was a Wael Jassar who wanted to do songs in the classical Arabic style, and we loved him for it. He took that a long way and has showed that he has nothing to proof, then he went the pop route and he was very successful. He did so many covers of those oldies, and for some younger folks, they know the songs as his.

take for example, his wonderful recreation of " Aal Eih Beysaalony" an original song that belongs of Warda, the late Algerian talent. He took that song to new lands, and introduced good and beautiful art to new generations. I consider myself a big fan of this Lebanese hit-maker. He is clever businessman whose big name is good in Egypt and great in Lebanon.

His rich voice can communicate happy, sad, enrgized, broken, humiliated, cheated and such. I am grateful for voices like his.

Algeria's Djemila Festival 2014 Offers #Gaza Support And Funds #Algeria


Algeria had plans for the huge music festival in the city of Dejmila. Dejamila Festival lasts for ten days of various musical performances. It's one of the country's largest music festival. This year;s festival income was dedicated for Gaza, Palestine. People wanted to help, and the local government wanted the event to go on. Algeria has stood by the side of Palestine for a long time. My wife was born there, and she attests to that.

Algerian more so than other Arabs are more passionate about rallying support for Palestine. And Palestine loves them back--even if it was for a soccer game. Just see their national team, they donated some of their earnings to Gaza. I think the president of the republic waned to send a message and allow his people to come to the support of people of Gaza. See how the stars speak out.

This is Algeria's Song At The #WorldCup #FIFA (Video)


Amel bouchoucha did this pro Algeria song for the 2010 World Cup, and it's still as good as we see the Algerian national team play once again in this global soccer tournament. The team lost against Belgium in a hard fought game. But they did mange to score their first goal in the world cup in 24 years. They do have a better team than in 2010, but I feel that they gave away the game.

I like the Algerian team--my wife was born in that country. I know all Arabs stood behind them in support, it was a good game, but the team could have done better. Hope their next game will show a better showing. I gotta say, their goalie is pretty capable.

I think this is a classic song from a super talented Algerian entertainer whose acting is as good as her staller voice. The song will be around for a while, and each world cup or Algerian game, it will be aired for those super fans.

Takes Yara To The West Side of Arabia In "Bghito Habibi "

Yara left the building, and headed to another one in the Gulf where riches awaited here. Now, she sets her eye to the West side, and releases a song that sounds Algerian/Moroccan--something she has not done before. This is a clever choice for the music season and festivals. Remember last year Yara was in Algeria for a concert during Ramadan and a report came out that she was pulled over for smoking during the fast hours...she did not like that.

The return of lady with the silk voice is a cool event, I have liked her a lot in between the 2005-2008 era before she heads to the Gulf and stick there. I like the beat, what's missing is the emotional connection that Yara was able to pull--her sincere emotions do not come through this once. But perhaps this is what is meant for a dance song.

Algerian Vocalist Fulla Introduces The World To Her Plastic Surgeon!


She has a great voice, a true blend of styles and a crossover appeal. The Algerian songstress who shot to fame in 2001 is back under the spotlight talking about her latest and her new album. She has a talent scouting show for kids--she will be Mamma Fulla on an Algerian French network.

She even got to say "I love children", she did another cool thing. she told the press about her upcoming and even introduced her plastic surgeon--she is the first perhaps. This is a Lebanese surgeon who loves himself and looks like a guy you would run into at some party while he blows his hookah.

I think she is neat to do this, instead of hiding, I like her approach. We are under constant camera close-up and I want to be the best. I think the plastic surgeon will benefit from the press and the raving endorsement.

WATCH: Nancy Ajram And Cheb Khaled World Cup Song Brazil 2014


That soft drink company hired Cheb Khaled the music legend from North Africa, France, Europe and the world. They paired him with Nancy Ajram with number one selling pop star from the Arab World. A song for the world cub in Brazil, dance, beat, spicy food, tourists, global outlook, and music.

The song is about dreaming big--you will be big in size if you keep drinking that soft drink. This is a big budget marketing ploy that does not feel real--it's the work of advertising exes not an artist. Family, young people, cool phone and people who like music. This is nothing really....a song about dreaming big. I love Cheb Khaled, Nancy is more of a guest here showing off her hair.

Know this, the company wanted to sell big in Egypt--the biggest Arab market, so they went for the stars who can close the deal. Really where is Amr Diab? None of these people who appear in the music video seem to understand Arabic. The lyrics are those form Amer Taema and the music is for Hassan El Shafei who also sits on Arab Idol judge chair next to Nancy Ajram.

Remember Algeria is the only Arab soccer team competing in the world cup--Egypt missed the boat in a sad display late last year against Ghana.

Move Over @HaifaWehbe Nesreen Tafesh, The Other Beauty In "Halawet Rooh"


Here comes Nisreen Tafesh, the daughter of a Palestinian poet and an awesome Algerian mother. Nisreen went to school in Syria and married a guy from the UAE, but we know her from her many complicated roles in both Syrian and Egyptian TV and films. Nisreen came to fame in 2002 when she played a role on a historic drama. Nisreen has even tried singing, she has one song.

But she is back in film as she starred in the unfortunate pornographic film--thanks to Haifa Wehbe and men's obsession with her. Nisreen does most of the acting in the film. Nisreen starred in a more than a dozen of TV dramas and few films. She is also a member of a band that started in 2010.

In other major news, Nisreen has been picked by an NGO PCRF to be their ambassador to the world.

This Lebanese in Algerian is AMAZING Pascale Machalani- Nabghek @pascalbachalani


Pascale Machalani, the once popular beauty queen and pop star all the way from the nineties got married few years ago and started a family. Now she is back and I am so pleased with her choice of comeback song. Unlike the popular thing to do now is to go to the East--Gulf for songs, Pascale Machalani went westward to Algeria.

And that brought out a beautiful song Nabghek--we want you that is in Algerian. The song has French, just enough to make it to more ears. I tell you the truth, my eyeballs love looking at this music video as Pascale Machalani brings back her hair and good natural look--that we missed for at least two years.

Pascale Machalani picked a winner and the music video shows off a lot of nature and great cinematography...I love the dress it makes things fancier thing a but more. The gypsy feel and look attempted in the music video comes out to serve the music video and the song. It's all about the outdoors and Pascale Machalani takes advantage of showing off some legs. This is a song that can never be boring or dull, it's just well-made and I love the group dance by the fire toward the end. Welcome back Pascale Machalani

Listen: Pascale Machalani - Nabghek | باسكال مشعلاني - نبغيك #Algeria


Pascale Machalani has already filmed the music video for new song, she want a different route--the song is in Algerian dialect, a popular dialect yet inaccessible to many.

Pascale Machalani is working on her Gulf dialect album for that affluent market, where she will also sing in Iraqi. Not sure what Pascale Machalani has been up to, since her marriage and the baby she seems to have taken a sabbatical from her music career. I like the new track, it's actually, it's upbeat and offers a distinct flavor.

History Repeats Itself ! Cheb Khaled - Aicha (Cover by Alaa Wardi)


Alaa Wardi is revisiting an old pop favorite by Algerian Cheb Khaled. He is giving it the Alaa Wardi treatment and the song is mostly in French--Alaa sang in Arabic, English, Hindi and now French. This is a classic song, arguably the biggest song recorded by an Arab artist.

A very emotional song, where romance is at every turn, and the vocal might of the original artists is hard to match. I like to think Alaa made a wonderful cover. Even the bubble sound Alaa captured so well.  It's a captivating song, and I know Alaa would bring it to the attention of so many younger folks who follow his work.

As for he song, "Aïcha" is the name of an Algerian song written by the French singer songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. The title refers to an Arabic female name. The song was originally performed by Algerian raï artist Khaled. The Arabic lyrics for the bilingual version of the song are written by Khaled. Thanks to this song my aunt Aicha sounds so cool right now.

Alaa keeps raising the bar and reaching back in time to bring back some memories of songs we have loved. this song was a universal hit in 1996.

Listen: Fella El Hawa Sultan George Wassouf Oldie




This is a song that pays homage to iconic Syrian hit-maker George Wassouf by Algerian diva Foula ,Fella, Fulla!  This is a remix in an upbeat fashion for a beloved classic. The popular Syrian singer has given his blessing and permission for this song when he first heard it performed by Foula.

The original song and the remix happen to have been recorded at the same studio--Tony Saba. Foula wanted to perform this song when George Wassouf was asked about me on a popular program, he had nothing but kind words, this is a payback song.

Downaload: Best of Cheb Mami 2013 Album


There was once a legend in the making, an Algerian pop star whose fame was global, and he got to release a song with Sting. This is Cheb Mami and he is out seeking redemption and revival of his career after serving time in a French prison on charges of assault on his then pregnant girlfriend.

I hope all of  this is behind him and pray he still have that Rai voice that has entertained millions around the globe. Now, we have a new album form Cheb Mami and it's in both French and Arabic, I am impressed by how fresh those tracks are and how hard Cheb Mami is working to revive his music career.

There are Algerian themes as well as African flavors to this album.'the album surprise is the duet with Iraqi singer Kathem Al Saher--this is an old track that was never officially released. There are eight tracks with high production value and mastered to perfection by world-class studios reserved of the likes of Mami.

On this link, you can download the audio via YouTube.

Mohammed Assaf Libyan And Algerian Song On Arab Idol محمد عساف - نخي يام قصاص طويلة + وهران رحتي خسارة



He sang in Egyptian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Gulf dialects but not until this week has the Arab Idol contender has sang in A Libyan or Algerian dialect. The ever-charming, Palestinian wonder boy is sealing the title each time he performs. He is the golden boy and the judges and viewers seem to know he is the next title winner.

This way he has sang for pretty much every Arabic major dialect, and this is great news for him, I think more votes will be coming in from him from that part of Arabia, he was ready with a cover of a beloved and well known Algerian song, and he topped it with a little known Libyan song--it must be a big deal in Libya.

He came a long way from being a Gaza boy to showering the Arab World with songs that captures their attention. I do not think there is any one who follows the show that hate him. He has no haters it seems, and even people from places with Arab Idol participants can see him as the next big thing. Again, they may want their home singer to win, but they know that Assaf is their second choice, if not the first.

See him answer a fan question and smile his way as he performs some new songs to him that will advance his career.

WATCH: Official Music Video "Eyyam" Warda AL Jazayria - HD / وردة الجزائرية - إيام


A team of Algerian talents, and family members of the late Algerian icon Warda got together to bring out her last song, this was never released before. And to be true to the song, this had to be a very fine production worthy of the late diva. The song and the music video were released in the first anniversary of her departure. Her son and his sister took over the project and they seem very protective of their mother and her legacy.

The song is about the days, and the pain one sees. The song is about do overs and second chances. Had we knew our ends, we would not have been mad with people. Thins would have been eased and fixed among family and friends. A good song with incredible lyrics.

The surprise was the use of the animation and in reverse footage about the time. I love the affects and the fine blending between the real and the virtual stories. Well done folks, they have made a song that makes one wants to watch and learn. The music video shows family members caught in fights and Pickering not realizing that all of us have numbed days here. .The Algerian flag flies high and the so many stories told deliver an emotional experience. Not to forget the epic war scene and the transition.

The director came from a background with cinema as he is a movie maker who felt honored to be in charge of this project. Aside from that, the acting and the talents accept nothing but their finest performance--even the little girl. Algeria is making a big step in honoring one of its one of the better known icons. There are moments where it's not a shame to tear up as you watch the stories unfold.

This song closes one of the proudest chapters in the Arabic song! It's the chapter where the fireworks fly high into the sky and never leave.

I'm Digging This Algerian Yasmine Song ياسمين - خدني وروح


I have no idea who this songstress, but I know she has it, whatever it is. I am liking this beat and her vocals to this freshly upbeat rack. You get your dance music, the dreamy tone and I am good to go, the song comes in the beloved and romantic Lebanese dialect.

She is Algerian,  a student of business who loved to sing and was influenced her her uncle who is a famous Algerian singer in France. She released her debut song in 2011, and it's the song below. I call is a fun song with the word catchy written all over it. I like the Spanish bulls sequence.

She had Randa Qideeh the well known Lebanese director shot her music video. Also to cement her skill,s Yasmine has gone to school to study music. I say give me more please. I like this song and people seem to have nothing but nice things to say about this single.

If You Have An Hour To Kill Listen to This Song وردة الجزائرية - رائعة : أكذب عليك | حفلة " كاملة


Who among has an hour nowadays to spend watching (listening really) to a great song? I love you Warda, but it seems the time is not right anymore for us to set and listen to one of your most celebrated songs "Akbib 'Aleek", while it;s a great song by all accounts, the song will live on long after we all have gone away.

But for ease sake, I have both versions, the full 56 minutes long original song and the quickie version under 10 minutes. The remains one the most remade songs by young talents--namely women who find their voices made for this beloved hit. The late Warda had so many wonderful songs, that live in our collective memory. She is the voice of our emotions and sentiments when we are in love and when the passion is there.

It's no breaking news, that Warda is one of the few things Egypt and Algeria agree on--sadly. No better person Algeria has the kind of love Egypt has for Warda and her art.

Myriam Faris And The Algerian Flag Edition


The Lebanese bombshell Myriam Faris likes to hold flags and take pictures by them, this is her effort to get gigs and expand her reach inside Arab countries, she has done it before with the Saudi flag, now she is taking her flag business into Algeria as she wishes that country well on their celebration of the brave Algerian revolution.

One, this is nice of her to think of Algeria at this time. Second, she knows Algeria holds huge music festivals in many cities around that country. If you do not believe me, let's see Myraim holding the Palestinian, Somali Sudanese flag. That ain't gonna happen because those places do not have concerts of music festivals big enough to have a budget that afford the songstress.

Again, all my love to Algeria on this very special occasion that all Arabs are proud of. As for the bombastic entertainer, keep up the good work.

Chevrolet's Beautiful Assault On Arabic Music


Business would stop at nothing to promote their products, nothing beats a good song that everyone can relate to. I do drive a Chevrolet and I do like Arabic music. I may not follow Arab Idol, but I know what;s going on. The idea behind this commercial is simple, bring all those young--and popular singers who are competing on Arab Idol, put them together and have them drive your awesome cars.

The product a lot of young people who like music are looking like they are having fun. Three boys and three girls together in the wilderness playing music, having a picnic and surrounded by their Chevy's. Since this is a singing competition, have them do a remixed version of an Arab classic the late Algerian Warda performed.

This is how you make a commercial, you explore a new concept, keep it interesting and do not take the same shot twice. And yes, it helps to have a good product to promote.

I love their time on the seaport. I think the drive in theater is also a fresh concept. This will surely make your Chevrolet Sonic seem event hotter. And on another note, what is with the scarves  why do all the dudes wear them? Am I missing something?
