Evolution of Arabic Music

So because of this news things I did not want to share some specific song, instade of that I shared this cute combination of arabic music. Yeah this video makes me really smile everytime I watch.  and Alaa Wardi. He is an Iranian a cappella artist, who became an online YouTube sensation in the Arab world and Turkey. Actully When I learned  that wardi is Persian, ı really suprised. But than I learn that he born and rise in n Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. So this makes sense his perfect arabic.  his family own a furniture business in Riyadh so it is clear to he was born rich ^^.  And his music career;

He studied music and sound engineering in University of Jordan. He lives in Riyadh. He is a musician, composer, singer, songwriter and audio engineer.

Last thing about him, Wardi is obviously look like funny person. I like him and his way of music ^^

Lena Chamamyan / Lamma Bada Yatathana

Like An Old Arabian Fairy tale...

An ancient Andalusian song....singing by Lena Chamamyan. This songs really impressed me. I mean , as if it had been came from 1001 Night Fairy Tales.  There is such storng power, the song had. Before, I had already interest with arabic culture and songs but after I started take arabic course, my interest grew day by day. Actually my origin came from Egytp ( Dad, side not mom) maybe this interested thing can relative with my origin, I dont know... :)

Today I'm gonna focus on the song, not singer because I already talk abaout Lena Chamamyan in my one of old content. I'm searched someting about the song but sadly I could not find so much thing about the song . Lamma Bada Yatathana (لما بدا يتثنى) is and old Andalusian  song, like I said before. The song writer is  İbn Baya ( but this is not clear) and song have various cover, so much famous between Mediterranean Countries. As final information I found one of version what singing in Spanish,( my source said Spanish but I am not sure, because it sound like Greece) Hebraic and Arabic. And I want to share this version also,

Here he comes (muswashah) Lamma Bada - Bustan Abraham

And Finally here is the Lyric in Engilish;

When she started to walk with a swinging gait
aman aman aman aman
her beauty amazed me
aman aman aman aman

I have become prisoner of her eyes
aman aman aman aman
her stem folded as she bent
aman aman aman aman

O my promise, O my perplexity,
who can answer my complaint
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman

Fairouz - Kanou Ya Habibi

Someting changed, but someting still same

This time an arabic song from Lebanon. Kanou Ya Habibi. İt is Look like a totally arabic song name, is not it. But it is not. Actually this is a russian song, name Polyushka Polye. Actually I shared it before. But when I heard songs arabic version I said my self ' I must share this lovely peace on my blog!' and now I'm sharing. I shared this song with a title like that ' This song is my destiny' or something like that. But lots of thing changed in my life,and I learn that destiny can change. İn fact destiny is to sum of our choice. So there is a new day, there is a new path for me. ı feel that everything will be okey. I am happy right now. I really had bad time. but right now I'm okey :)

And also I still like Poluska Pole and the new version of PP ; Kanou ya Habibi

Hayedeh / Faryad

There is nothing to say anymore... But..

They are not numbers, they are lifes, they are stroies,.!

Today a bomb exploded in my city, İstanbul. Before Ankara .. Believe me I dont know what to say. I'm just so much sad because of all this thing. I'm not a kind of political person. I even dont like talk about politics. Not my style. But I'm in full of sick. I mean, I am afraid that one day me or one of person who I know gonna die because of nothing! And I know nowadays lots of person feel exactly like that in this area. But unfortunately there is nothing so much to do. Maybe we share someting on social media to sharing our sadness ( and also this is not kind of my style) and of course praying for died people and rest of us.

'Turkey is a one of middle east country, So not big deal'

I heard somethings like that quite recently. Yeah , I know this geography is never be one of peace land on earth but again this things what recently happend is big deal, at least for me. I dont wanna get used to this attacks. I dont know Turkey is one of a European country of A Middle east country. And already this words just  rubish . Both of side is deadly . İn a political way, if you say I'm at Middle side, you will lost your life, or you say I'm at European side most likely you will lost your Humanity...So I think both of side is deadly as much as each other.

Summary I'm so much sad. For Turkey, For Middle East Country For European Country... All of us as a civil public.. we are lose... one of us lose life's one of us lose meaning of life, humanity. I just dont want to heard any single innoncent person is died news , no matter which part from the world

So I think 'Faryad (Cry)' is relevant for today ?

Rachid Taha (feat. Jeanne Added) - Now or Never

No Elvis Yes Racid 

Today I'm gonna talk about Racid Taha's Now or Never. Now or Never... Better known as one of  Elvis Presley song. ( By the way I'm  also a big fan of Presly, ^^)  But  the song's origin came from ' O Sole Mio' . O Sole Mio  is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. Its lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro and the music was composed by Eduardo di Capua.  Actually this song is one of the most populer İtalian  song ever. But Elvis Presly version is more known than O Sole Mio. I 'll give links for this two different version. But today content is about Racid Taha's version :)

So Lets Talk About Taha!

Rachid Taha ( رشيد طه)  is an Algerian singer and activist based in France who has been described as "sonically adventurous." His music is influenced by many different styles such as rock, electronic,punk and raï. Actually I think his style look like his life story. He was born in Algeria, He live in eastern music since his ten. And he was  Algerian struggle for independence against French authority. And I think this events effect him ideas and music style which he will have in future. Than he moved to French with his parent. This is the one of the most important thing for Taha's life. Becase after this point, his life was totally changed. He had a tough life in french. When 17, Taha worked during the day at a central heating plant, described as a "menial job", and hated this work, but at night worked as a club DJ playing Arabic music, rap, salsa, funk and "anything else that took his fancy." The contrast between menial work during the day and fun during the night may have helped to develop his musical sensibility .In the late 1970s, Taha founded the nightclub called The Rejects or, in French, Les Refoulés, where he would spin mashups of Arabic pop classics over Led Zeppelin, Bo Diddley and Kraftwerk backbeats.

I know some other lovely Racid Taha's songs, and next times I will share them. But today thats all :)) Of course I ll share the songs lyric. ( But I could not found English translate for songs Arabic's parts)

By the way, nowadays I feel better and I think my life is gonna be good and big news I begin take a private arabic course! yeah  in the future I'll translate my songs which I share with you

Love You All

:)

Souad Massi / Hayati

Oh My Lovely Souad Massi

Such a pretty song,.. actually all of this woman songs is perfect. she also have French songs. But today I gonna talk about Hayati. Actually I dont know why I choosed Hayati. I was little bit confused about what I should share as a next content. But suddenly I decided on Hayati.

My Life..

'Hayati' ( حياتي) means ' My life'. Maybe reason is this. Quite recently, I all the time thinking about my life. I mean my past. Why all this things happen to me ? really whats wrong with me ? I cant stop thinking about all this things what happen in last 4 month. Anyway, I have to forget somethings, and forgive someones. Therefore, I can smile again.

I know, I did not talk about Who is Massi, where is she from, what is special about her... İn another songs of Souad Massi, I will tell everything about her.

Finally here is Engilish lyric of song

My Life

How much of a book I have read
How much of tales I have been told
I asked who tried
They left nothing but empty lines

I didn't know the way to sun
And the flowers wilted in spring
I find prison in every home
The bird I've sent returned back to me

I am living in a dream
one time we believe and sometimes not
They told me everything will be dicovered by time
Who sell dreams let me know

The truth can't be seen from lies
except what is high on mountains
Sun sets in morning

They covered the sun for me by the riddle

Rainfalls doesn't extinguish,
The burning fire inside of me
My tears are not enough
No one knows of me but God
