Nasr Mahrous Presents Touba--His Latest Find

There's a new name in Egyptian pop and it has the name Touba. Touba is being presented by Nasr Mahrous' Free Music label. Touba is really working with the one great music producer who is a powerhouse in Egyptian pop. Now she has to deliver on that promise. Nasr will package her and give her some of his best work.

Will she be the next big thing in female pop? I do not know. I think she has to do a little bit more vocal workout. She is got something to sell and I think she can find her own path. Her song is about missing the loved ones. Not to mind the blurry belly dancer who actually takes away from the song.

Syrian Vocalist Assala Sets Her Sight On The Khaleej-#Aqoba

One of the best things that Assala did was to stop talking politics. Not that she was wrong, but that her critics were many and she got to the level where she has become an activist who took a stand on a losing battle. The versatile Syrian vocalist released a sweet album earlier this year and we fill in love with it. It's was an pan Arab pop album that blends so many musical styles and uses lyrics in Egyptian and Lebanese/Syrian.

Now she is ready to release her third album using the Khaleej dialect. Assala did very well singing in that regional dialect and she was able actually to dazzle even the big names in music. For starter, she has the voice, the emotional range and she gets to work with the top names in lyrics and music in that region.

Here's a single that will be included in that yet to be released album. A song about punishment, pretty fresh passionate poetry here.

Syria's Piano Man Goes To #Germany #Palestine (Video)

Give it up to this talented Palestinian refugee from Syria who has managed to make music in the face of a brutal war. In Syria's Yarmouk refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus, an estimated 18,000 residents are living out a bare-boned survival. A brutal government siege has left them with little food and rare access to clean water amid the daily threat of violence.

But in the middle of the devastation, a musician with a battered piano is coloring the scene with sounds of hope. He plays his music over the constant bombs, bullets and sounds of destruction.
 
Ayham Ahmad has played his music amid the rubble of his Syrian hometown and at a transit stop while traveling by foot across Europe. On Sunday, Syria's beloved piano man performed his songs in front of thousands of people in the historic Konigsplatz arena in Munich, Germany.
Ahmad was one of the acts at the Danke-Konzert, or "Thank You Concert," a free show featuring a string of German artists welcoming refugees and thanking volunteers involved in the refugee effort. It was organized by nonprofit Bellevue di Monaco, German indie rock band Sportfreunde Stiller and Munich's city government.

Ray Charles, The Beatles, James Brown, And Elvis Presley Go To Saudi Arabia @Masha3elStar

Two of America's biggest names in music star in a movie video made by a Saudi female artist. For starter this song should be confusing because Saudis are not well known for being patrons of the arts, and the stereotype Saudi women do not have it easy. It took Saudi vocalist and really cool cat of Khaleeji pop to bring out a big concert that takes one back in time.

Mashael brought few iconic American/British entertainers to be her sidekicks for her music video. Attention to details is clear. While this is a huge hit in Arabia, Masheal took it one step further. It's pretty funky concert that is well made. I could not tell if these folks were in there for real or just some computer tricks.

It's well made music video with a lot of flare and shows how cool Mashael in real life. The young singer takes a tour in what's hip and cool in American music. The king of pop Michael Jackson gets a cameo as well. I like this music video and the rap ends the song with fireworks.

The director had a good talent that believed in and she was willing to go along for his vision. What came out is a creative concept for music video that allows Mashael to shine and introduce us to many other world class talents.

The other day, I was introduced to an exciting young Iraqi pianist who resides in the great state of Florida where he performed many of his classically inspired musical numbers. The son of the historic Iraqi city of Basra found his way to the States away from war where he can focus on his music craft and take it a wider audience.

It's a fact that the piano has attracted more soloists than any other instrument. Every top artist has his or her own personal ‘voice’ - a unique artistic ethos, style and sound. And Abbas Aboud is no different than the many accomplished pianists who have made their own mark on this instrument.

A Pianist with over 20 years of experience; Highly innovative and successful professional with a strong expertise in the art of composing original and playing classical for live audiences. Considered one of the most successful classical pianists in the Middle East, Europe and the USA. Abboud has the technical ability, the following and the improvisation talent.

When you meet Abboud, you will know that he is the down to earth type who happens to be specially gifted for his age and his choice of music. This celebrated young artists deserves to be in the biggest concert halls where his talent comes to shine. Iraqis never stop inspiring us with stories of survival in the face of adversity. It's not easy the path chosen by Abboud, but it's where his gift is and He has the right stuff. One thing I do like is his fabulous style.

The Music Terrorist Naya Offends Pretty Much Everyone (Video) @Nayatheofficial

Naya likes to do things differently, this pop songstress has done for the butcher look while wearing high heels. I liked her break out songs three years ago and now she wants to cash in so, she landed herself a new Khaleeji song where she goes to war.

Is that nudity? Does she says she fears God? Well, I like to believe her but many Arab Christians are offended by her use of the Cross.

Then there is that bloody knife, and torture S & M scene. Look, Naya is a pretty lady and she seems to like to party (as told by the bubbly champion) Not sure if this song has a soul? I do not get it, is that hot for her fans in the Khaleej? Naya went for sexy and rebel look, she played that part well, but the song does not ask for that. How about that gun that fires toward the end of the song? What's with the wrapped in black outfit? Is that meant as a zing on conservative Muslim outfits?

Really does the Middle East need further terror? I guess, Naya thinks we have not had enough violence so she took upon herself to terrorize the rest of us.

Also did she time the release of her song to be in time with Nawal Al Zoghby's new music video. You may not know this but Nawal's ex is managing Naya and he is promising to make her as big of a name as Nawal is or was. Keep on mind that two years ago Naya decided to retire, but she seems to have changed her mind.

The Poor Millioner Pop Song Gets An Indie Makeover

Cairokee front man is giving a new lease on life for one once popular cult classic song. The song was originally by Medhat Saleh in the late 80s, it's about being happy despite being poor.  It was a cool song then and still relevant today. Medhat Saleh is still making great pop songs in addition to his live tarab performances.

The Egyptian has a new odd friend front man for Cairokee, Amer Eid who took it upon himself to do a cover for this classic and pay homage to this first-rate pioneer in pop songs. It's a fun and funny song that depicts the sense of humor many young people have where they are able to find joy despite not having the means.

#Ya_Yumma" Brings Mohammed Assaf Back to #Palestine @MohammedAssaf89

It took Assaf three weeks to release a song for Palestine in light of the Israeli madness and policy of execution of young Palestinian men and women. Assaf is been busy lately promoting that movie that talks about his life in paces like London and Dubai.

He wore his Palestinian scarf, and got the song going. This is a song he had to make, he may found himself an unenviable position that people were expecting him to do something. He still got the voice, some remind me this might have been an old song that Assaf is covering. It mentions a number of Palestinian towns that have revolted against the occupation.

The team behind the song sound like talents from Gaza, Palestine. I am not inspired it but I am pleased Assaf has still time for Palestine. The footage used for the song show a number of things that celebrate life in Palestine and young men who still have the fire.

Then Assaf gives a talk toward the end of the song dedicating it to the people who matter. He names the city of Jerusalem and its people too. I like how his songs pays homage to mothers in Palestine as suggested in the title.

Shame! Khaleejis Kill Yemenis And Sing For Them!

It's not secret that filthy rich Arabs in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are bombing Yemen to the dark ages. It's also a documented fact that many innocent Yemenis have perished as a result of this ill-fated war on that magical land that's Yemen.

Now one of the biggest artists in the Khaleej who comes from the UAE is Hussien Al Jassmi and he has a new song for the same country that his own government is bombing. Let's us not forget that dozens of good people from the UAE got killed in this war--because they suck as this war thing.

Hussain AlJassmi has also released a new song for the UAE government and army to offer them support as they wage war on the helpless people of Yemen. I have an idea for the UAE--Iran has been occupying your three islands for decades now, why not wage war on them? Or is it that Yemen is an easy target?

Hussain professes his love for Yemen and its people. But what he does not tell us is that his love means he would support them being bombed.

The Russian Army Gets A Syrian Love Song By Ribal Al Hadi

No one knew who Ribal Al Hadi is before today, but now we know him because he just released a song titled the "Russian and Syrian Armies". It's a song supposed to scare away the terrorists. The song sing praises for the armies that are supposed to be fighting violent extremists. Somehow many more of them are made by those actions.   

Ribal is a musician too, so he composed this song. Stupid guys do exist in every country, and tough guys do not release songs. He wore an army uniform and showed a gun and star in the Syrian flag to promote his song.

I do not know much anymore, but to celebrate a foreign invitation is wrong for the Syrian opposition and wrong for the regime. I am not taking sides anymore, I am just tired of people who shame others yet they invoke the same shameful acts. Ribal may chose to do this song or maybe he was asked to do it for the army. No doubt there are folks who love the regime, but.....

Saudi Singer Ismail Mubarak @ismaeel_mubarak Charms The City of Cairo

Saudi singer Ismail Mubarak went to Cairo for a concert and it seems he was a huge hit over there too. Not too many Khaleeji artists feel they are famous in Egypt--frankly they do not have to be anymore goes to Cairo. Two decades ago, they would have been asked to go to Egypt and launch their career. But thanks to Satellite TV and the internet, they do not have to be anywhere in particular.

Though many singers form the Khaleej like to go to Cairo for concerts. Since droves of their fans live there--most would be natives to the Khaleej area. So a concert in Cairo is something cool to do. In this case Ismail Mubarak used the footage from his concert for his music video. I like this young artists and his warmth. He seems like a poet whose voice gives a needed hug.

I like the verse in the song "My love to you has no limits, there's no one but you, and I love you forever!" This must be nice to be on the receiving end of these beautiful crafted lyrics.

I like this song "Habibi" It's a sweet song that shows the depth of his fame and talent. Tons of his fans lined up to takes selfies with this charming singer. While many Arab artists dream of singing in Saudi, Ismail is doing the opposite he sins in Saudi but he also can have a sold out concert in Egypt. Ismaeel seems like a nice man who is fun to be in the same room with. There's an Iraqi singer who is a popular name in the Khaleej, I think Ismaeel has bested him with this song and this style.

Moroccan hit-maker Jamila is now officially the most popular lady in Moroccan pop. Jamila has all the exotic attributes. And she is a styling lady who goes bold. Jamila she has already stood behind two viral hits that were literary everywhere in the Khaleej and beyond.

Her latest song seems to do a lot with colors, and funk. There's a catchy beat and there is good energy. There are also those back up dancers doing their moves right behind Jamila. And that music bit that sounds like a Moroccan/Khaleeji hybrid.

I like her many looks and that hairstyle keeps changing. It's a Moroccan song make no mistake. A likable star makes a catchy song and the world celebrates. It seems that the craze for Iraqi songs have been replaced with Moroccan songs and before them the Syrian country song had a good run.
 
So dance you guys and enjoy the party form this creative music force known as Jamila who seems pretty much so inside out.

The New Pop Album By @MousaOfficial Does It For Me!

Egyptian Mousa (Moses of Egypt) is a new voice in Egyptian pop and he seems like a hard working modest singer who is trying to find his spot under the sun. I respect young artists  who go the distance work hard on their first album with little help from the world.

The sweet and handsome dude goes to war in his music video when he refuses to take calls from his ex. He just shuts he rout and tells her he is no longer gonna be Mr. nice guy. The dude walked away from a relationship and he is not coming back.

In his music video Mousa plays a believable DJ. And there is a model, and a nice car. Surely this is a nice music video that presents itself differently. The good news Mousa sounds different. That means her is not mimicking other pop stars. He is doing his own thing. I am pleased to see him making his own path and being himself and it seems to work.

I like how Mousa plays out the character every Arab guy has on his mind, he is Mr. popular who have choices and the lady not so much. But aside from that, this album deserves a listen. It's actually decent pop album. There are some bright talents that have attached themselves to the album, it just needs a bit more of marketing.

Rotana is banking on Angham, she would be the biggest female pop star on their label--at least from Egypt. Angham is an artist who predates the music video craze and the whole pop thing. Sure she was a little girl then singing alongside her father, she is still be big force.

Here's her latest album which is her first in six years--she did release a mini album about four years ago. This is her big album and it must be the comeback her older fans are waiting for. To be blunt, her fans are now older and the younger folks have no idea why they like her. Now, the idea is to see if this album gives them a reason to fall in love with her. The album is meant to introduce young music listeners to Angham. It allows them to explore this classically trained artist who happens to do stellar pop songs.

Rotana is included 12 tracks here, and most of the song have been written by one guy--Ameer Taeema. He is good, but I have to hold judgment until I hear the entire album.

01 - Ahy Gat
02 - Atgah Wahed
03 - Ben Elbenen
04 - Tol Manta Baeed
05 - Aktablk Tahod
06 - Hata Naasa
07 - Ahlam Barya
08 - Fengan Elnesian
09 - Bakrah Elmosika
10 - Bahab Aghany
11 - Ganbak Makany
12 - Baaet Waheda
