The Egyptian radio has a phone call on the record for Abdel Halim Hafez where he called from his hospital bed here in Washington according to the story I read. But the beloved hit-maker and romantic treasurer was undergoing treatment for Bilharzia in King's College Hospital, London.

You hear him say he was returning to Egypt in ten days, he sounded upbeat and excited. "I am well, and good" The call shed some light on the details of his treatment where he was getting injections at 5 Am and other treatments, he kept to the hospital and walked around. This was the day of the Eid and they called to wish him well.

Iraqi hit-maker Waleed Al Shami is considered one of the busiest musicians in the Khaleej. The composer/singer is always in the studio working on something big. To his credit, he is a very popular guy who keeps people guessing as of what he will do next. He makes tons of music videos, singles and albums. But he also gives new material to other singers he likes to work with.

Waleed is a personal song where he talks a lot about himself in such a simple and down to earth. He says I make mistakes and have guilt but somehow find my way back. "I am for real", "I am authentic" is the title he went with for this song. He also features tons of social media and bookmarking. He shares tons of pictures about him and about other individuals and events.

I like the closeup to his face, he does look good. I hope he is for real, I like what I hear and I want it to be true. More artists ought to do this songs where they are digging deep and giving themselves an assessment of their life. He speaks about being generous, this is great. Another creative thing, the team behind the song were shared toward the end of the song, with their various social media accounts, viewers then were encouraged to follow them.

Many of the great voices in Saudi Arabia came from Yemen. Belkis Ahmed is no different. She is the coolest pop star in the Gulf region and she rules on the social media where she shows the real person, a proud women with a lot of smart things to say. I know I like her voice and style, she is so young yet so talented.

She is a stable of concerts and music festivals. And her exotic look speaks volumes of the good looks to be found in Yemen where Africa, meets Arabia, meets Asia....creating a beautiful population despite the harsh lifestyle

Belkis has a very sweet tangy voice that can bring you to tears if the lyrics are right. She has moves and a style that creates jealousy. I know she has a good advisor in her composer father, but her image is something that allows her to make music videos and stun people with the different looks she can pull. Here's one of her live performances for the ages.

Egypt's Most Serious Rapper @ZAPtharwatAXEER Inspires Youth

The internet in Egypt and many parts of Arabia loves a rapper that goes by the name  Zap Tharwat. He is an indie recording-artist who sells huge concert venues--he still have to get permit from the authorities. But when he is given a venue he packs it all the way.

He is such a great talent who does have his way with lyrics and beats. He is like a street poet for the young people. He is also freaking fit, so it makes sense for him to record music videos for each of his songs. This once he features a local vocalist Salama Gasser who opens up the song about dreaming bit and loving oneself. I like all the cool things recorded for the music video that shows the things youth like to do.

Zap Tharwat has done well for himself and he still live in Egypt, thought he is one of the million frustrated youths. He still manages to hold on to hope and inspire others. The thing you will appreciate about Zap is that he makes broad themes that can be about anything in life. If sports is your thing, then his songs speak to you. If politics is your thing, he will connect with you....and such.

Rap! Gaza's Angriest Song Is Out By @McGaza Holds Nothing Back

Sure, if I lived in Gaza, I would lose my mind too and I would cuss like a sailor. Still, the nice people of Gaza might not be ready for this volume of cussing and cursing coming out of the mouth of one of their local boys. Mc Gaza. I have followed his career for three years now, and I liked what he has done so far. Mc Gaza told me on Twitter that the song is a bomb that speaks about his career with rap and the struggle that comes with it.

Now he seems to have stepped up his rap game and took on a new character. He is still spitting lyrics and breath fire. But many in Gaza do not get what Mc Gaza is trying to do with this art form. He does get tons of hate and attacks yet he is still out making new records and channeling his rage. Even the title does not allow any room for guessing.....

I do not know how to feel, I like the sounds for sure, the music and the sampling is sweet. But those fighting words are coming from a place of hurt. Mc Gaza is connecting with many youths in Gaza and in Palestine, so the Norwegian government is collaborating with him to get him out there and allow him to inspire more.

The Voice Rym Mahrat "Wow!" Song @ReemMehrat

Syrian vocalist Rym Mahrst from her fame on the MBC Produced The Voice returns with a new single. Wow....dear sweet God, this is such a flawless song from a lady that I knew little about. I should not be surprised maybe because Syria has the world's best Arab vocalists. Rym was on team Assi Hallani and the experience has allowed her to get close to the music industry. Rym sounds very good. It's not about a strong voice with her, it's about character, and sounding authentic.

While she does look young, her voice makes her sound like someone who has lived in the golden era of Arabic music. Perhaps, she owns a time machine that she puts to good use. For me, it's her emotional depth and complexity that drew me to her. Also, if she wants, she can make her voice sound like that of the legendary George Wassouf (Watch here)

Rym is great, she is one ore great artist hailing from the enchanting city of Damascus. I wish her well and hope one day I will see her perform live in a free and a united Syria.

Reham Abd Elhakim New Album Soars

Not every famous singer is any a good and not every good singer is famous. This is the thought that crossed my mind as I am listening to the new tracks on the new album released for the super talented Reham Abd Elhakim. When it comes to strong vocals and sincere emotions, you have a friend in Reham Abd Elhakim, she is a diva, a graduate of the house of opera. And certainly not every opera singer is well-known. But Mazzika is hoping to change things up when they signed a lady who can sing and has her followers.

I consider myself one of her fans, I like how she manipulates her voice and channels her emotions to cut through you like a knife to butter. It will take some work to get the name out there, but once you give her a chance, you are an instant fan. Mazzika and its mangers believe in Reham and her talent, they also like to help home-grown Egyptian singers.

So the first thing they did, they released a music video for Reham, I believe this is her first official music video. And few weeks later came the album. They spiced her up, gave her a makeover and lead with a happy song that feels romantic. While she is known for more dramatic songs that talk about live and sour love, this time it was a happier and more upbeat Reham.

We have interviewed Layla Iskandar, the young pop sensation who had the privilege to support United Nations campaign for immunodeficiency virus.

With her love for music, attitude, and dedication it becomes an easy guess that she is going to be a mega music star. She has stolen hearts of millions with her sultry and sexier looks in her video Al Ghabi.

Lebanon is known for producing talents such as Fairuz, Nancy Ajram and many more. Layla Iskandar is one of the upcoming and more loved artists. She proved her legacy back in 2002 at Studio El Fan. Layla faced tough times and was even played into a fight on a reality show and had to go through some serious health issues.

But Layla Louis Iskandar showed her true spirits and made so strong come back in 2010 that the critics were left completely stunned. She is now becoming one of the most popular female singers in the Arab world.

With her strong will, she has managed to produce revolutionary songs such as Ghabi. She transformed herself so much that the viewers themselves did not believe how a chubby looking girl toned herself into such an extraordinarily sexy shape.

The Amazing Muslim Singer Rami Mohamed Weeps Arabia

Rami Mohamed does not seem to be like a guy who likes the actions of the violent military regime in charge of Egypt at the moment. The Muslim singer (Monshid) lives in Turkey now, away from his motherland because he could to be free to think and yes he might be targeted like tens thousands. So when he is free to think, he makes pretty awesome tracks.

So the droves of young conservative Muslims adore this star and propel him to be one of the most viewed singers in his genre. I like the quite rage in his voice. He shows images from Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya and few more places. His heart is bleeding for the atrocities he sees around him. So he is appealing to the conscious on those people who are not dead in the inside.

I like it the song as it talks about justice and doing the right thing. No one disagrees of the size of mayhem we see in today's world. Rami is only singing about it and he is almost sobbing at this point. The world has failed a people who wanted freedom and wanted to be equal citizens. The world likes to deal with leaders who can deliver long-term stability in exchange for a little short-term chaos. But for families grieving their family members is no short-term affair. Rami comes from a good place and he loves all the things we love. His voice is so pure and so strong, it's like he tickles the listener emotions

The Cute Feminist Song By Mai Selim and Hamdy Batshan Lands @Mai_Selim

Mai Selim wanted to do a retro song and build a bridge to the past. Since Egypt is her adopted home, Mai went back to bring an old pop star from retirement, she went with Hamdy Batshan, the singer who had a hit Sha'abi album before many of you out there were born.

This was an odd pairing, but Mai wanted to break new grounds and earn new fans, so she went with the folksy wisdom and street smart lingo. It's a dialogue song between a princess and a guy who is not short on confidence. She explicitly tells him not to harass her and make advances toward her. Mai puts him in his place.

Mai sounds cute and Hamdy does a good job portraying the street guy who fell in love with a lady who is certainly out of his league. Not sure about the age difference between the two artists, but she does call him "uncle' as to show he is elderly.

This will be a good song, maybe not the massive summer hit, but a song that will be good enough to be everywhere, but may not stick around. Egyptians are known for their sense of humor and their willing to flirt. This song puts that on display and it allows Mai to wear a different hat and play the Egyptian ghetto queen. The song will please the feminists as you find an older man proposing to a much younger lady. She turned him down.

Since you asked for a cute song, here's one that's not even in Arabic or a language spoken by more than a million people. A song about girl's school memory and growing up at home alongside her sbilings. It's a cute song that sounds like Iraqi and Syrian tracks. A song about school, and messing around the kitchen.

Kid songs are popular, all kids deserve to have songs in their native tongue to jam too. Princess Chelsie took that concept and ran with it. But I am also thrilled to have heard the intro by Ashtar Nano, she gets it.

Hunger-Striking Palestinian Prisoners Get Music Support

For many Palestinian and their allies and supporters around the world Israel is a gangster state. They see it as a big bully who somehow managed to be above the law. As thousands of Palestinian prisoners struggle for freedom, many in the outside world are backing them up and telling their stories.

While tens of prisoners are on hunger strikes in protest for Israel's liberal administrative detention policies. Many of these prisoners were abducted from their homes by Israeli forces. One prisoner is almost dead and yet the Israelis have nothing to charge him with yet they still keep him in prison. Mohammed Allan has been on an aggressive hunger strike for more than two months and he is right now in a comma shackled to his bed. Also Allan is a lawyer! 

Indie artists in Palestine recorded  a song to spread awareness of the plight of the thousands of prisoners. This is a short song about a timely topic. It remains unclear what will happen with Mr. Allan, but the Israelis know they have screwed up and luckily the internet won't let them get away with it without suffering some PR damage.

Blood, Gore And Love By Ammar Hassan #Palestine #GazaUnderAttacks

This is the season for "I Love Palestine" songs. Since not many non-Palestinians are doing these songs anymore, the sons of Palestine step in. Ammar Hassan the Super Star runner up stands and delivers a love song for Palestine. He thinks about Palestine and it's his love, he looks the part, and carries a gun.

This is a resistance song, camping meets war, he actually make war seem fun--it's not that gore is real. I have been watching bloody images from Palestine--some of them are too graphic, so I think more of these done in the name of entertainment are out of line. I like Ammar, he is a true gem in Palestinian pop. He means well, but whoever directed him here has not seen war up close and personal.

This is about death, love and unfinished lives. I just think people who have seen blood and death this close, will not want to go through it again.

Souad Hosny is Egyptian film actress who was one of the most influential Middle-Eastern actresses in the 1960s. She received her first movie role in the 1959 film Hassan and Na’ima.

Many spoke of her free-spirit, reflected in her natural smile, and her bashful spirit. Her reputed shyness in real life contrasted highly with her television presence, which was filled with life and vigor. Her soft beauty struck and inspired many artists.

Among her most celebrated films are Khaly Balak Men Zouzou (Take Care of Zouzou), Ala Man Natlok El Rosas (On Whom Do We Shoot Our Bullets, 1975), El Kahera 30 (Cairo 30) Al Karnak (1975) as well as many films. So what worked well for her is that she mas perfected her acting, has mastered the art of sensing and has so much energy to do live theater and shows.

The clip below will demonstrate why Soad is such a legend and an icon like no other. She puts all these attributes on display.

The golden Lebanese pop diva Nawal El Zoghby is releasing her latest album in few days. This shall be her first album since her amazing 2011 album. Yes that was more than four years ago, but this time Nawal is back with a big production company--Mazzika through Alam El Phan. This seems like a decent album from a lady whose voice is something many of us have grew up with.

Rest assured that the album will have songs in at least three dialects with focus on both Lebanese and Egyptian dialects. This is a variety album by a versatile diva who knows what makes a hit. Yes, all ingredients of this album have been baked to perfection by all the hot names that have worked on it. I think this is a good album that will usher in a new season for Nawal.

The album starts off strong, even the title has a fighting words "I have not forgiven" "Unforgiving" it works for Nawal because she had a bitter divorce five years ago form the father of her children and producer--he is a jerk. The teaser for the album's songs promises a lot of pop and a hint of Tarab. Nawal just does it better. The Lebanese songstress has transitioned well into the new era and refused to be upstaged by much younger pop stars. In fairness, she still has a lot of rock and roll in her.

Lebanon's Hottest Restaurant @RestaurantLoris Releases Its Most Adorable Song @JeanMarieRiachi

Loris sounds like a cool name, While enjoying a late night conversation with a good friend (Hassan from UTN1) He wanted me to see a new song from an up and coming Lebanese vocalist and guitar player that goes by the name Taym. Hassan did play the song and I fell in love with it. Many folks know that I am a fan of the music and production of  Jean-Marie Riachi, so he promised I would like it and I did.

The song is adorable, it's a simple love story (boy meets girl tale) told in incredible animation. There is suspense in the story as one wants to know what happens next. Loris is the name of the lady and also the name of the eatery where the story takes place. I like how fresh the concept is but the story is made better by the voice of Taym. The song sounds like an indie alternative Arabic pop song. I like it and I know that it has a high production value.

It turns out that Loris the restaurant /Cafe is an actual place that you can eat--it's located on a posh corner (Gemayze) in the Lebanese capital. I will make sure to visit there next time I visit Beirut not to meet Loris (I have already met my Loris) but to enjoy the restaurant's take on classical Lebanese, Syrian and Turkish dishes. The celebrated  Jean Marie Riachi is involved with the restaurant on some capacity.

Spring might v\be over but not in the world of Tunisian diva Latifa. She just released a new music video where love is in the air. The charismatic songstress seems to be filled with energy and joy for her new music video. She has a bike and there are lots of flowers.

It's a simple plot with what appears to be a one location. There is a food good thing about this song, it's a bout someone who realizes life is too short and wants to worry less, do more and enjoy more. It's cute and  the right dose of cheer. No guy model allows the song to focus on Latifa and her spring time persona.  

Not even the new and young pop stars can pull a cute spring time music video, Latifa did that once before with that Nizar Qabbani song (Taloomony) And that was more than 15 years ago. So doing a music video with a similar feel but more casual lyrics still works.

Star Academy Shahinaz Diaa is still riding on the publicity wave, she already did a number of songs for popular films. She has released half a dozen singles that went on to become hits. She pulls the girl in love so very well, and every song means a new picture to go with it. This latest song of hers has music form the talented Islam Zaki--who now sings as well.

This is a wedding song from a good girl who prays to God to keep her loved ones close by her side. I think her voice is good, she does what she can and despite the odds she is still working--not an easy thing to do in today's Egypt.

Also it's not easy for a woman from the East to proclaim her love to the public. Ms. Diaa does it her and does it so loudly.

Ziad Maher had always had a good style, he comes from a family that sells textile so he has always known what to wear and what works best for him. Now he that he started venturing into the music business about three years ago. He must keep up that style as you will see him below in a photo shoot.

Ziad Maher is a well-groomed man too, see him try to look refined. I think with the social media, people need more photos and they want them instantly. This session should provide plenty of photos for this salt and pepper fox. Music Nation hosted him and took a to of his pictures. He sang a song for Egypt, not clear why he would sing for Sisi....he loves the general. He said he would sing for anyone like Sisi--I hear Bibi the Prime Minister of Israel called.

Ziad has also opened a store in Amman, it sells accessories for both men and women. The idea according to Ziad is to sell well-made products that are not produced in masses.
