Mashael In Baghazelah, All Colors, Flirts and Smiles



If bright colors, festive mode, zany pictures are what you are looking for, then you have landed in the right place. Mashael picked a young Lebanese female director for her latest song music video, and it does leave you wanting some more because it does something fresh. The colors remind me of the movie the Cat in the Hat with Mike Mayer.

The song opens with the voice of Soad Hosny and her beloved classic ya wad ya tikeel. Mashael is ready to pick the torch as she sings about her being flirtatious with the guy she likes. She looks just right with the colorful outfits, well done makeup work and her world famous smile. The director and the team did a fine job with the decoration and the set.

The color pink is back to rule the universe. I have always enjoyed the voice and the song choice of Mashael now I have a hundred more reasons to enjoy her latest music video. I love the stairs bit with the piano. I now think Mashael might want to try acting, she seems to be a natural.

Labor May Day Song By Assi Hallani


God Bless Assi, he sings for just about anything, but this time he has found something worthy to sing for. The labor on their May Day.....he is paying homage to the hard workers who build nations and their efforts they put in in farms, factories, streets and more.

I like this song and I thank Assi Al Hallani for releasing it. This is a worthy day that must be recognized, unlike kings and leaders Assi likes to praise in his songs, the labor are the ones that move mountains. Entertainers are hard workers too, but their labor is not physical for the most part.

I remember my uncle going to work each morning, he would go to bed early when he really wanted to stay and chat with folks. He chooses to rest for few hours before he heads back to his job in construction. He lived in Gaza, but in order for him to get to his job he has to go through security checks every morning. That's one guy I salute this day.

Johnny Homsy Commiserate With His Listeners



Walid Massih worked with Johny Homsy of Lebanon on this dark hour romance song. Walid is a gifted music arranger DJ and now event promoter. Johnny is staring out in music and is excited about this collaboration.

I like the song, but at this phase of my life, I cannot bond with it. However, the song has all the right stuff you would want in a pop romance song about when the good times are missing. Johnny sounds like he has taking the journey.

Johnny Homsy started his music career by singing Lebanese & Arabic songs at an early age for family and friends. His first gig was being a member of the church choir " AL RAJAA - الرجاء" for almost 5 years. At the age of 25, Johnny entered the professional arena with the release of of " T3ebt " which is written by Hilda Debes, composed by Johnny himself & arranged by Walid Al Masih.

Ozaina Al-Ali, A Young Syrian With An Old School Feel



When you spell this singer's name in English, you end up with Zina or Dina...they are both names for games, so you really cannot spell his name in English with ease. Luckily he has spelled his name online Ozaina Al-Ali who is a gifted lute player turned singer.

Ozaina has been given a lute at a tender age by a journalist friend of his. He comes from Syria, where a proud tradition of making old school Arabic music lives on in its towns. Meet the guy whom the internet is crazy about.
