Welcome to this week's FEATURE FRIDAY ✌
This week we get to know about ARABIC music for the first time, Starting with Myriam Fares - Goumi. Followed by Rashed - Al-Majed - Walhan. We then ventured into the world of 3 Daqat - Abu Ft. Yousra. Faouzia - How It All Works Out blew us away, but unfortunately due to copyright issues we had to cut it out and to finish it all off we saw Mehad Hamad LIVE.
Overall, an amazing, fun podcast!👏
Thank you so much for the incredible suggestions! You guys rock! ♥♥♥♥

@haneen87903 years agoThank you so much guys as an arab (from saudi arabia) this is some general informations: - arabic music have so much different typ id="hidden2"es & different accents too (there are 25 countries in asia & africa that claim arabic as an official language) - in general, arab states of the gulf (khaleeji) songs is chill, very melodical & passionate so the concerts seems a little bit serious lol, however egyptian music is more fun & make me dance (in my opinion) - i guess arabic songs usually all about the lyrics, instruments & melodies, not the music video, visuals & story lines. Etc. - i guess we' re a little bit similar to latin (for the music, melodies & instruments) - the most famous arabic musical instruments: oud, qanun, ney, daf (efra was interested about it at the final video lol) also violin, saxophone & piano are very common in arabic music. + i suggest you guys to check out some fus' haa " standard arabic - without accent" songs such as: faia younan - ohebbou yadayka nour khan - ghorabaa kalamesque - mughrama/i want to spend (arabic cover) ft. Yazan & natalie + fun fact: we (arab people) could pronounce every single sound you may or may not think about it, that' s what makes my language so special for me. ...Expand363

@haneen87903 years ago Rashid Al-Majid is the OG He's from my country (Saudi Ar abia) & he's very popular all around Arab countries, his artistic journey started at the age of 15 & his first public album went to market late 1984! + even if I'm not into Arabic music that much, his songs are different man. ugh. Lyrics : Times get dark and I look up towards the sky, and I gaze through its stars, maybe I could find you. Neither have you known about the longing that's struck me, nor the sky's space would be enough for you. Oh, how I'm in love with you. I prayed to the one who created you, my dearest, that half of the love that's in my heart strikes you, and if your love is crippling, I'm fine with that, I'm fine with that since I couldn't find an as-precious lover. I'm yearning, I'm yearning, and if I tried to hide it, my gleaming eyes will reveal it I miss all of you. I'd die for you and your flaws, until my heart and veins are filled with yearning, and the ground couldn't hold the painful longing. If your absence is a dream, wake me up and I'm well again, and if there's someone else, how could he make you forget a love that no other lover has ever loved a lover before, and the sign that his heart is seeking you to this day? Do you know that despite how I'm choking on your absence? I have a hope that you'd come back to me and I'd come back to your world. No one in this year fits you, and don't you look for anyone who's in love with you like I am. .....Expand71
