Egypt's Biggest Commercial EVER! (Video)

$

0

One of the biggest phone companies in Egypt pulled a stunning act with a commercial that puts all the other commercials to shame. It's about family and how they are the source of one's strength. And yes, since we talk to them the most over the phone, it makes sense for a cellphone company to promote them.

The secret pack as many stars who come from well-known families, like if there is a celebrity mother-daughter or celebrity father son or sisters, the company brought them together and had some perform a bit of funny song. The company hired actors, singers and sport figures to make this commercial relevant to as many people. I think it worked.

Brothers Mostafa and Hussin Fahmy talk to each others,  Dalal Abdel Aziz calls her daughter Amy, Mohammad Adwyah calls his father Ahmad Adwyah. Mai Selim calls her sister Mais Hamdan (they are the  only singers here), but the biggest surprise perhaps the best part is the scene where soccer player Majdy Abdel Ghany makes a phone call to the Dutch goalkeeper Van Brooklyn reminding him of his famous goal in the world cup in 1990. Though some say that's a look like for the goalkeeper not the real one.

And the last secne shows actress Yosra speaking to her brother in law actor Hisham Selim who is hanging out with his brother (Yosra's husband) Khalid Selim.

This is a funny ad and it works....It's about family celebrities, humor and a company that wants to do something big and major.

Remember Hanan? It's okay, this means that you are younger than 30! She is a light pop star from Egypt who did sing in the 80s and made life a little bit brighter for many of us. Her last song came in 1996 and then Hanan called it quits. She stayed home and did not make any appearances. That's until she got together with her manger who is also a famous talk radio host. Wael Ghaneemy persuaded Hanan to record one song and she did.

The song is about prophet Mohammad. Radio 8090 go the exclusive and here's the song below. Wonder boy Hossam Hosny (also from the 80s fame) arranged the music. This song got some much coverage by the media as the resurfacing of Hanan is something worthy of celebration. She sounds good and the topic is timely.

A young man always likes to boast about the choices he made, and upcoming pop star Eslam Ammar is no different. I love his voice, the guy has some real voice and a true talent. This time he got his song about in a new film--the one where Sandy stared. Sandy is a singer, but she transitioned into movies. I am happy to see another singer featured in her film. Sandy has recorded at least three songs fro the film, this time she brings out a new talent.

Hope you guys find him good, I like the material of his voice, the western elements, but I think he can go somewhere with his sweet emotions, and joyous performance.

Amr Diab's Last Global Hit "Wala Ala Balo" Has He Overcome That Success?

This song was so dupe and everyone making music in Arabia wanted to clone it and succeed like it did. But Mohamed Raheem wrote the music, and Amr Diab made it the regional hit it has become. It was a catch track and beat the summer's heat. A track worthy of a king....Amr Diab took the throne once again and he has not bee able to capture that magic ever since.

He still makes good music, and fresh tracks, but that magical stuff we have used to expect from him. He is a king on stage, and a crowd favorite whose music and only his music is what we are after...not his rumors, not his outfits, not his personal drama.

He had many great songs since the release of this one song, but has any of them lasted as long? I do not think so. Has any been generated so much buzz around the world? I do not think so. No doubt Amr choses the right songs and works hard not to repeat himself, but we all cannot be great all the time.

The Satan Of Egyptian Makes A Cameo In Black Theama New Song

Not many bands in Egypt are as cool or as talented as Black Theama is. Also when it comes to Soul, these three guys have plenty of it. This band which is made up of three dudes who come from three unlikely places from Southern Egypt. A land rich with music diversity and appreciation for all things that has soul.

Here's the latest release from the band, a song that asks of us all to do soul-searching. The band puts the question, "Why have we arrived at this?" This has a lot to do with Egypt in post the army coup on the democratic president--who they have now sentenced to death. No one feels safe in Egypt as citizens feel as guests in their own land as if the army is letting them live in it, but it they break the rules, they will pay.

This can also be a social song about how society has progressed or regressed, the media has changed the country and the social media have caused a lot of changes. Posing the question, why do we only smile when we are divided? Is it our own fault? I must say this is a bold song without making waves, it poses serious questions without hating on anyone. Egypt has a lot of questions to answer....I love the line why parted away with Satan because we become him. The song is not about politics or government, but rather about people who run it.

American song-writer and singer Kareem Salama just released a tribute to a music legend like no other. The Late Michael Jackson may have been different things to different people, but when it's about music he is the only and the only MJ. So Kareem wanted to commemorate MJ's passing in a special way and the only way he knows how, to sing.

Kareem composed this song's music and lyrics and took it to the recording studio, what came out is pretty awesome, a true American song celebrating an American legend. The song is about hope and faith in people. Taking a chance.

The bubbly young songstress from Egypt, Rana Samaha released a hip song last month that took over the internet. It was a catchy tune made better by the funky persona Rana Samah has. But during the holy month Rana did not forget to release her very own supplication. While many of her peers are more than happy to go away and disappear for a month, not Rana. Ms. Samaha would not bail out on her fans like that.

It's a slow song follow of humble tones and come as you are attitude. Rana came a long way from her days on Star Academy,  she is doing something differently that made her last after the program has wrapped up. She has a very strong online presence, the internet loves her (just ask my twitter account) She has also done different things like host a talk radio show. She is also active on the social media as she was quick to seize on events of the day and engage her fans.

I must say this new track/ song/ supplication / Dua by her is pretty good. Rana sounds sincere here and the images accompanying add to it. Her quality voice has shown me so much flexibility and for a bit it reminds me of the voice and warmth of Angham.

Watch How @JohnnyHomsy Takes A Different Approach To Arabic Music

Lebanese excel on many fields at home and abroad. They as people are unafraid to try new things in the hopes of being better than the next guy. Everyone in Lebanon tries to dominate whatever industry they find themselves in.

Here's a guy who is not a singer, yet he did a song that has a global reach. Johnny Homsy owns a production company in Beirut and he seems himself as a singer, composer, director and a creative talent. In just one song he has shown that he is really all these things. His new single "Ma Fi Haki is something really different than pop music in Arabia. Even his music video tells a surreal love story"

The song itself is beautiful and the lyrics capture the spirit of what Johnny is trying to do. The music in the song is closer to what you hear on American radios than in the Middle East, though the lyrics are in Arabic the song's theme feels universal.  

This is a music video that one has to watch few times as it's filled with many elements that may goes unnoticed in the first viewing. Well, it's official we have a breath of fresh air in Lebanese pop who is not short on words.

Islamic Songs Don't Have To Be Sad...Here Are Few Happy Ones

Have you ever noticed that Muslim or Islamic songs tend to be sorrowful, depressed and, miserable. I know the idea is to give people the sense of meekness and regret...and you cannot be these things if you are too happy. But you know we are not sad all the time, so happy songs that are upbeat there is certainly room for them.

Sami Yusuf did it more than a decade ago with his global hit, and he did it in more than one language in "Hasbi Rabbi" It was a sweet song that checked all the boxes. Not many have been able to pull such a magic trick.

Egyptian pop star and iconic singer Mohamed Mounir did an upbeat song that does not seem weak on force. A song worthy of celebration, the music is awesome but the lyrics are what make this song best. No surprise there Mounir has done many dance and party songs and this song celebrates Islam in such a way that open many hearts and souls. The song even mentions the virgin Mary, so take that ISIS.

In the weird fashion of street songs in Egypt (Mahrganat music) this is not a traditional religious song per se, it's folksy song for the month from Egypt about the customs of the month not the worship party. So two party artists take the song and with the help of auto tunes, you get something to dance to--if you will. Sadat and Haha are a punch of many jokes but they are powerful music force in the world that does not listen to music.

Similar thing here, this is not a song about worship or even about God, it's about the social customs of the holy month. It's about the food, the gathering, the crescent and all the joy. Sure it's the month of Koran and redemption.  Moroccan native Jannat's song highlights all the good deeds of the month. It's song that sits well with the masses, it might be something that airs once the fast is over with.

People love Toni Qattan, they love his music, his family and they love his persona. Many more love about him that despite a serious illness in the liver he has not slowed down. Now comes a new song by this Palestinian/Jordanian pop star.

His song is about the lady whose sight is on him. It's a happy flirty song. Produced by Toni himself and released to his millions of fans. In the hopes of scoring some eid concerts Toni rushes the release of this song during the month of Ramadan--not a very usual move.

These Composers Won't Work With Elissa And Her 2014 Album

 Samples are here

Elissa who shot to fame with catchy lyrics. Elissa is Arabia's highest-paid musician, and that success is due only partly to the mass popularity of her music. After all, there are many artists who get more radio time but don't make as much money. Ms. Khoury has made very astute decisions on how to monetize her music and image and position herself for a lengthy, successful career. However her musical stylings strike you, her thoughts on the future of the music industry—an industry she has come to dominate ealry on in her career are worth considering.

Elissa  didn't advocate a handful of singles and some OKish fillers, of course, she recommended trying to create albums that fans will cherish for years to come. Elissa seems to think "music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for." Her rise to prominence owes much to the loyal fan base she cultivated on her social media pages, where listeners could discover Elissa music for free on radios and where fans can still stream dozens of songs free. Once this fan base was built, however, Elissa embraced the concept of rarity.

Elissa is preparing for the release of her latest album with Rotana...other than having an interesting cover art, the album will not feature two of her biggest collaborators in the past. It seems she lost some serious talents that gave her some of her better songs and most memorable hits. I think this will be a good album, it sounds like she is the same again and that's not too bad. Rotana will market the hell of out of this album, here are the two composers who won't be collaborating with Elissa on this album.




  1. Marwan Khoury who hated fighting with Rotana over his rights and payments. He got sick of them and asked them not to include his song on Elissa's album. Marwan is still cool with Elissa though. Rotana talked back and said they do not care about Marwan or his song. This is a big loss for Elissa as Marwan knows how to make a song perfect for Elissa.
  2. Mohamed Rahim shared on his Facebook a post where he denied that his songs were removed from Elissa's album. He said, that he did not even record any songs with Elissa, and stated that he chose not to work with her from the get go on this album. He did not say why he chose not to collaborate with Elissa this once, but he wanted to make sure we knew he was not eliminated.

George Zougheib Returns With An Age Inappropriate (Yet Great) Song

Few years ago, George Zougheib was a little chubby boy with a gifted voice that was discovered at a young age. Now he is a teen and still held to his nice voice. He is still loosely wrapped as well, I love his voice for real. He has so many years of experience without having to be old.

For his music video he brings horses and ladies in jeans and short tees. I do not know what the kid had to be sexualized like that. Why cannot he just do something else? He is singing for another little girl that he has a crush on and the song really makes him sound like he is 50 years of age. The song is about having had it with pain and distance.

Why cannot kids just be kids? Why do they have to live romantic stories and feel that they have to appeal to the old base. Then her father finds out about this love story and kicks him out of the horse stable.

Make no mistake this is a heavy song, those who like Tarab music will cheer. I just think he is too young for this kind of music video. He has a strong voice and it seems to get better with time. The music for George's song is pretty amazing.

In some random neighborhood in Egypt, some guy dressed like a ballerina and danced his tail off to some loud music. This is so unreal and so random but props to the guy who joined in the party and danced along that dude.

I think some people were confused how could such a thing happen? I know even in Western countries male Ballerinas are a joke. This took place in "Al Mojama'a Al Khamis" and it looks like a big party took place as more people joined in the dance. Little is known about this ballerina, he might be up to something.

The Song About Doing Good Deeds Is Surprisingly Good @Mobinil

One of three mobile phone companies operating in Egypt wanted to do a big ad campaign for Ramadan. So they did one and made it not about them. Mobinil opted to do a big ad campaign during the holy month urging people to do small deeds. The commercial came disguised as a long song, but to be frank, this is something nice they are doing.

There are many examples of people doing good deeds to help others...like that community fridge where people stalk it with food, or that community closet or toy shelf for the little ones to enjoy. So many creative ideas to help fellow humans. It could also be a book shelf for people to grab a book and read. You need to do good, we care less about why you do it and more about you actually helping others.

Mobinil featured a song performed by three little known artists who preach a well-known message. The young artists gather people around them to sing and call on people to do good because it's good karma. I usually do not like to give companies free press, but I did not mind this once. This year's message comes in time, always together.

Decades ago the only and only Umm Kalthoum has a patriotic song for Egypt "Egypt is on my mind" Now, this was a song that was cool back then, and now it feels relevant again as people of Egypt scramble to save their own country--they are their own worst enemy.

Shahinaz quit the show business years ago, but she did not stop singing, and now she did a wuick cover of this song during an interview with some local Egyptian station...I include both. It's like a love competition who loves Egypt the most. And that's the song and too the reality of the political landscape one power hungry general who poses as morally superior fellow, and the rest of the 51 of Egypt.

Islamic songs better know performer (Munshid) Mohammad Alkouni is a native of Jordan and is a celebrity in the Muslim/ Arab world. It seems Saudi company Rotana picked him up and together they released a supplication album during the Muslim holy month.

Sure, music sales tank during the month, but business is good as people still have cash to spend. Enters the stage the gifted lovely voice of Mohammad Alkouni. I know music channels are always looking for Ramadan appropriate entertainment to keep their advertising revenue up. And as people become more spiritual this month, there's room for Mohammad Alkouni

The Egyptian Will Smith Releases A New Action Movie (Trailer)

All Arab guys seem to like this actor for his tough guy roles he often plays. Egyptian actor and bad boy Mohamed Ramadan returns for the Eid movie season with a new blockbuster where he is playing a cop and blowing stuff up. If you have a minute check his Facebook pictures to know all about his muscles and his big heart.

When Ramadan started acting, he did amazing roles and reminded so many of the the late actor Ahmed Zaki. but somewhere along the way Ramadan started worrying about doing movies that make profit and somehow, he has always ended playing the thug, criminal, security guard or now police officer. Though he did play a number of comedic roles, but mostly he likes to blow stuff up.

Ramadan made so much money for his producer Al Sobki family that essentially do whatever he wants. The new film "Shad Agza2" seems to be his biggest budget to date, and you can see he has gotten in the best shape of his life for the role. I think this film will do well.

Mostafa Hagag is a name we all should remember well. He is a new comer to Egypt's pop music and in less than two years he has made a name for himself as one of the most exciting voices. He is a bit of Baha Soltan with a little bit of Karim Mohsen...which means he combines a great strong voice that flexes and a charm-filled personality.

Hagag returned for Ramadan with a new song for the holy month about all the festive things that come with this month and all the good things we have come to love. Hagag takes a stroll down the Cairo streets showing off some of the cool things and the mode in the streets. There is plenty of food and drinks. Mostafa Hagag wrote the music for this song and for the first time we get to see him in the flesh.

There's something happy about this music video, something that makes the fasting month cool for the little ones and grownups. Another cool thing, the producer of the song is an Egyptian Christian. Even the song's title "Sheikh Ramadan" is clever.

A trio of Egyptian friends who have collaborated on a number of box-office darling films released a TV comedy last Ramadan and one of the things she did right was take a stab at music videos and songs that are becoming too much or too lame. Here's one of their songs poking fun of Sh'abi songs with the many ladies they use as props, this time they did an Alexandria song.

They do it in good humor, but the offenders know themselves. Too many people dancing on screen wearing strange outfits and one thing is missing--good art expressed by real talanet.

The millionaire singer Hussain Al Jassmi has a lot to pray about. Every Ramadan the singer releases a supplication for the season and it tends to get the prime time as all networks love to be in the business of Hussain Al Jassmi. He is the biggest pop star and Tarab star in the Gulf region but unlike many great singers in the Khaleej, he actually has huge fellowship outside of his home state.

So no wonder, his prayers is more important than yours at least for the networks. This once the artists looks inward and digs deep and shares with the world. So it comes to no one's surprise that the production on his songs come with a big price tag.
