Youssra El-Hawari Ridicules The Absecure



Do not say that the Israelis and other superpowers have not taught the Arab people something, the did! Building walls and road blocks around cities. This is what the military of Egypt is busy doing, building roadblocks.

A young and charismatic young indie artist took notice and wrote a song that mocked this new reality. The song is free spirited and a true indie project, it has half a dozen names attached to it. But Youssra sang the song and composed the music for her song titled "The Wall".

The song has a French feel too it, not just instrumentality, Youssra note, that a man stood by the wall and took wiz. No wonder, why the net is in love with this young talent who for all we know is a graduate student in some Egyptian college.

يسرا الهواري - السور



In front of the wall
In front of the ones who built it
In front of the wall
In front of the ones who erected it
And in front of the one who guards it as well
A poor man stopped to pee
On the wall and those who built it, erected it, and guard it
On the wall and the ones who built it, the man took wiz

يسرا الهواري - السور

قدام السور قدام اللي بانيه
قدام السور قدام اللي معلّيه
قدام السور قدام اللي بانيه
قدام السور قدام اللي معلّيه
وكمان قدام اللي واقف يحميه
وكمان قدام اللي واقف يحميه
وقف راجل غلبان وعمل.. پيپي
وقف راجل غلبان وعمل.. پيپي
عالسور واللي بانيه واللي معليه واللي بيحميه
عالسور واللي بانيه الراجل عمل پیپی

وكمان قدام اللي واقف يحميه
وكمان قدام اللي واقف يحميه
وقف راجل غلبان وعمل پيپي
وقف راجل غلبان وعمل پيپي
عالسور واللي بانيه واللي معليه واللي بيحميه
عالسور واللي بانيه واللي معليه واللي بيحميه
عالسور واللي بانيه واللي معليه واللي بيحميه
عالسور واللي بانيه الراجل عمل پیپی

Watch Nancy Ajram - Halley Hal ft. José Galvez نانسى عجرم حالى حال




Nancy Ajram has just given her golden pop touch to an old classic, she performed is live and there's some Spanish dude screaming next to hear in the fashion of Gypsy Kings. This is a random duet that just dropped on YouTube. The team behind the song look like a fun group.

This was made as a marketing song by Coke who now has a recording studio. Coke loves their Nancy Ajram. The artist are so weird, Spanish weird! I have never seen an artist kiss the feet of another one, guess what these guys just did. Arabs love Spanish guitar and Nancy Ajram. We have the footage fr the behind the scene footage of the team working on this song.


I do have an issue with Coke bastardizing an Arabic music gem, I only hope someone got paid a truck load of money to make this song. This comment is not about Nancy, but rather the corporations and the individuals who try to lay a claim on other's heritage just because they can afford it.
نانسى عجرم حالى حال

Sama El Masry, The Belly Dancer And Newsmaker



She has a movie out, and she promised to market it with her belly dance moves. When they told her to go away, she told them, she will dance at their office doors! They approved her movie and called it silly.

She did not exactly go away. Her movie might have tanked but she was a big hit with news outlets in Egypt who wanted to make a big story out of nothing. Meet Sama El Masry. Your average Egyptian belly dancer who rejects the idea of anonymity. Some sleazy dude who wanted to make a quick buck made a dance movie around her and her moves. No story really.

Not sure why Egypt is talking about her, it might be that she is worried about censorship at home when the Islamic political movements are on the rise. Here are the promo clips for her movie. Chances are if you watch these three clips, you won't need to watch the movie.
