Bollywood Mega Star Shahrukh Khan Meets His Arab Fans

Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan visited Dubai one more time for the film festival this time. He does own a house in that city where thousands of Indians live and work. He is India's leading bankable star whose name is as good in America and it's at home. He dances, he romances and when needed he blows stuff up.

At his press conference he spoke about arrogance of love. Dubai celebrated Indian cinema for a 100 year of magic, for that event dozens of filmmakers and starts from India showered the city with their love. He is a Muslim whose wife is Hindu and somehow they find a way to raise their children with love and respect for both faiths. He makes more movies than other mega star anywhere in the world. I would say he shoots at least four films a year or so it seems.

"I love Shahrukh Khan from the bottom of my heart," said the Dubai socialite Meena Ramchandani. "My friend called me and said she had a spare ticket so I rushed here in 15 minutes.
"I wanted to get a blow-dry but I thought forget it. I just have to get here and see him."

Dressed casually in jeans, trainers and a black jacket, and with his hair swept back in a ponytail, Khan was in town to promote his coming action thriller Don 2, which is set for release on December 23.
His last visit was with his costars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma on November 13 for the world premiere of his romance directed by Yash Chopra.

Ali El Haggar Remains Egypt' Most Real Singer

He may as well be the Morgan Freeman of Egyptian entertainment. His voice has been telling the Egyptian narrative for more than three decades. He breaths Egypt and has pretty much performed in every venue in that country. He has ruled the radio airwaves, the cassette market and then the movie soundtracks and dozens of highly rated TV dramas.

It seems Ali is ready for more music as he has been signed by Pyramedia to produce music for him. His son is also signed for the same label for a music project as well.I know this when it comes to a mannly voice with a strong vocal showing, Ali is the name to come up.

See his song below where he does a romantic song with an incredible warmth and an Egyptian beat. El Haggar may have never been a bankable name but he has two things most two stars dream of. He has the respect for the audience and the businesses. And he has the name recognition that crosses age groups and countries.

Hassan Ramzy Delivers The Nile Delta Blues "One of Us"

Something that sounds like that world famous Mississippi River Delta Blues, but he is near another delta, the Nile Delta. He is good with a guitar, and he is not trying his hand on singing. I think he is luck...what you think of his original song "One Of Us"

Hassan Ramzy is a growing Egyptian musician who mainly plays guitar and sings. he prefers almost all types of Acoustic, Rock and Blues. He writes and composes his own music but also likes to cover other artists. Biography I've been playing music since about 2004. I say he's got the blues fever and has managed to bring it to tell an Egyptian story.

Hassan composes and write his own songs, as well as cover many others. I am currently Majoring in Psychology, but hope to pursue a career in music! So he is doing music as a hobby now, but if the math is right, he will be doing more of it. The story he tells her is a cry against President Morsi.

Cairokee Sold Pepsi, Switch To Coke Now

Money changes people, and no two other people disagree on that. I was surprised to see Pepsi Egypt bought the rights from one of the indie rock band Cairokee. They used this song to sell Pepsi  The song asks people to express themselves. I figured, there's no shame in making an extra dollar if you work hard and do not change your core.

But now in 2012, I am seeing the same band is doing a promo video for Coke through their Coke Studio. Not sure what that means. That will mean they no longer like Pepsi, and that the Coca Cola company has played the band.

Cairokee appeared in a video alongside the Barbadian songstress Shonetelle, they are performing a rendition of Knocking on Heaven's Door. As Cairokee moves slowly toward a fully commercialized band, I am feeling their songs are losing their soul. Instead of activist tone, they are about personal growth and intellect.

Maybe the band thought they will have a bigger audience and gain exposure in new lands--only to be disappointed by how little views the video below has on YouTube. I would love for the band to promote an Egyptian brand and products, not some non-Egyptian brand. No one would speak ill of them if they make a little money, but also help make Egypt a better place.

Her concert was an appearance with Hatem El Iraqi who rocked the night next to the pop lady of Lebanon. This was a funconcrt and it was not cheap.

They held a press confrence and spoke about being there, and how much they love the city, its people and the dialect. Haifa said she may release an Iraqi song if she has the right material. Haifa promised to put forth a good show, not just a concert.

They are talented, and they are young. They won Arab Idol, and their names are Yousef Arfat, Deana Batema, Carmin Suliman and they want to give us a history lesson on Arabic music and the figures who made it the thing we love--or hate.

They have a pan Arab list of names most Arabs know and resepct. This song has been in the works for close to six months, but it released few days ago. It has a fun feel, the young folks will love seing their celebrties, but the older ones will like the walking down the memory lane.

It's nice to see the three young artists come together for this song, I am certain the producers at MBC's music arm paid some serious cash toproduce this song and it has already been showered with Youtube love.

The composer who has become a rockstar is coming back with a new album of seven tracks. Ramy Sabry was on my mind as the next Amr Diab...he was Mr. cool going on Mr. Emotions, his fifth album will release this summer--it has been delayed a number of times. But the teaser and samples are out.

Mazzika is pushing this album for good reasons, Ramy's albums are well made and well produced. They are never rushed and always bring me joy and high qaulity entertainment, real lyrcis rom the heart--nothing silly and upbeat fresh music that pleases the soul

DJs are a dime a dozen, good ones are really hard to find....every DJ thinks heis great at what they do, but only one guy stands out among them all, I have come to know him DJ Black Shadow, he makes mixes of songs that you wouldn't come togehter. He has his way of blending English and Arabic songs in such a fun way.


I appreciate his talent and his touches to songs that may be overlooked had he not used the remixing skills to bring out attention to them.


I do not listen to Western songs often--the ones I mange to escape anyway, but here is a sampling of Arabic and English pop songs from Akon, Niki Minaj and Pitbull. The surprise is his work on Nawal's song. She is a big talent but her songs lack the cool factor this way they are such.

Her Name And Her Look Might Not Be, But She Is An Arab

There is a raising star in the skies of Lebanon's pop scene and she goes by the name Stephanie Fakih. You are allowed to wipe out that dumb look on your face as you try to figure out if her look is natural  She is. There's a saying where anyone who speaks Arabic is an Arab--even those with blues eyes. Fakih is a new pop personality and her young age--she is 21 shows a lot of promise and area for growth.

But this pop songstress is really one, she is Lebanese. Just look her her thick eyebrows, that's a giveaway for more Arab girls. Here's the kicker, she is the daughter of Lebanese expat who lived in Africa--where Stephanie was born. She just had a sold out concert in Morocco, filming a new music video in Tunisia, and has recorded a song for the King of Saudi Arabia. To top that she has already sang alongside the Lebanes super star Raghib Alama who seems to be a fan.

WATCH: The Most Awkward Interview On Sister Soup

The three sisters who are hosting Sisters Soup had a guest, and it seems that neither party liked the company of the other. Saudi Waad seems to be an awkward person who has little respect for the presenters. She seems to be off. The three sisters who host the show Mai Selim--sings and acts; Mais Hamdan--sings, acts and hosts she also tells jokes. And the lesser known sister Dana. The show airs on OSN and MBC and the first season had 17 episodes.

I felt that the three ladies had to have Waad on and she seems not to be there. Nobody seems to be want to listen, each side the hostesses and the guest wanted to talk and talk. They kept interjecting one another. This is a high estrogen interview and the show has some fun segments. I am not sure if they show sucks or Waad is lousy guest. Waad has a fashion store in Beirut, and she sings--but I do not remember one hit of hers.

Waad trashed non Khaliji singers who do songs in that dialect. She seems to be angry at many Lebanese ladies who have made songs in that dialect. She seems to think no one understands her own dialect. Waad seems to shout a lot and lacks courtesy toward her fellow entertainers. It might be that she lacks tact or social skills, but the hostesses tried to keep the show flowing.

Funny Tamer Hosny Music Video On Cellular Etiquette

The trouble with Arabs is that one they talk too much and two, they interfere in one another's business. They just do not leave people alone. But in West, they seldom have people to talk to--so they hire a counselor  a therapist to hear them out. I think the right formula is somewhere in the middle. Judgement free listening and compassion.

Now, you are ready to watch the music video with Tamer Hosny who is having a little issue with his lady, she wants to know what and where he is. He wants his space it seems. So, they go to visit with their friends' home and spill the beans about their romance and woes. Tamer Hosny does most of the talking here, and his lady does not get to talk.

The issue is the way they talk to one another--her mobile phone is busy, she sends a message call me. He ignores her message. This is the phone tag issue most people in today's world know much about it. She is a bnit jealous think he is with other women--when he is at home taking a nap. Too bad, neither Tamer Hosny nor his lady are in high school. Tamer bores people to death with this tale.  

I did enjoy the comic affects throughout the music video, this is a new technology and I find it works for this music video.

Saad Ramadan is a clever young singer with a lot of talent, he has no albums to his name, but he is a hit-maker in the traditional sense. He does singles and those singles do wonders to his fans. The guy put on a good show, and what's better than an incredibly handsome man who can carry a romantic song.

Look o further than his new single which is meant for the superstitious people of the Arab world. Arabs fear the evil eye and they blame all their troubles and woes on them. And this is why Saad Ramadan is talking about the evil eye that ruined their seemingly perfect life with tons of equally good looking friends  riches and an awesome villa.

I have come to learn Saad is no stuck up person and he has a great sense of humor--he often tells jokes on his Facebook page. I really believe in Saad, I think he is one classy young man whose style is made perfect for him. I hope he keeps going in those tough times for every Arab.

Amr Diab Crazy Hair Day Edition

I think it was 2003 when Amr Diab filmed a music video in London and we saw a whole new shade of crazy hair from Amr Diab. I know the press made fun of the hair and likened the pop star and kin of pop to a famous Egyptian actress that has a similar hair--they were right.

Amr Diab did not do the crazy hair ever since, but then last month he was in London celebrating with the UAE a day of friendship with the United Kingdom. He was seated next to David Beckham, the famed footballer and celebrity. But the one thing that stole the show the strange Amr Diab hair. His hair looks like its doing its own thing.

Was that braided hair and what's that object on his hair? A very stupid look really. I know Amr Diab doe snot shy away from new things, he is a fun person and a bankable hit-maker who now lives in Dubai. But the hair thing was a loser in my own conclusion as the press had a field day with it.

People of the internet are loving this new single by new comer Zain Adel. This is a song about the life partner and how they make one of us feel. It's your typical pop song, a catchy beat with straightforward lyrics that we have heard in everyday life.

I think Zain is a cool guy with a sweet voice, his biggest fans won't be the seasoned listeners of the tough critics but rather the young and life loving souls. They have turned out for him and positively commented on his video in glee.

Zain can connect with those young people out there and make sure they are his fan base. Keep on mind Zain had a number of songs for Egypt (see here) and has asked people to support it at those times.

How many Tattooed and bold young Jordanians songstresses do you know? Chances are not many, but Malak El Nasser is the only name that comes to mind. I have come to known her for her dance songs, she has at least four hits out there, cute dance songs really.

This time, she wants something different, dramatic songs with the blues and that's her new song for usher in 2013. Yalla Ya Habibi is a plea song, a cry for help asking the one who has been ignoring you to take your call. What a pity really!

Malak has ruffled some feathers with the censoring authority, but they might be too intimidate by her good looks and body type. I happen to really dig her style ever since she did that duet with Jad. That song was dope. The new music video is no different than the oen she made last year, in both she plays tourists walking around nice places. However  she is not singing for a man she loves, but for her own son who has been away from here

The Lebanese Brazilian pop songstress Dolly Shahine is about to usher in a new year. To ring in the year, Dolly Shahine has released a fun song for this occasion. I am impressed by the new single and Dolly sounds at her best in a really long time. She was made a star to do these kind of songs and she has delivered a song that will be around for some time.

I love the Arabic lyrics  not so much the English part, but I am certain Arabs who speak English will be heads over heels for it. She is wishing change to come, people to fall in love once again. Just have a little bit of fun and forget all the pain.I like the portion about her wish to see people breaking their fear from one another.

The Happy New Year as the song has been titled is rightfully.

The Heart Warming Eulogy Songs By Shi'ite Muslims The art form is known as "العزاء" أو "الشيلات" أو "اللطميات"

$
0

There's a little known art common in places like Iraq, Iran and wherever Shi'ite Muslims live. This art form is a way to retell a story of the murders of many members of the house of the prophet on the hands of a group of delusional Muslims.

The art form is known as "العزاء" أو "الشيلات" أو "اللطميات" Latmyyat or Shilat. And they have no standard language. They tell the story of the final hours and the heroic stand those men and women made during a battle they did not chose. I found out about this art form because it seems that many A list Iraqi singers have been ripping music from those songs and making that music into pop songs.

The believers gather on certain dates and celebrate together as they mourn the death of those men and women. They sing their stories and plea on them for help. Those are heart breaking stories of the story of Hassan Hussein and their father Ali and their grandfather prophet Mohammad. People slap themselves as they hear those stories others cut themselves as they try to connect with the stories.

Those are often poems performed by a person with good voice and then a group backs him up vocally. They sound like well-written eulogies for great men and women.

The New Year Song By The Legendary Mohamed Abdu محمد عبده العام الجديد

A real princess wrote this song for the most respected Saudi star. Mohammed Abdu is the artist of all Arabs, he has been making music for four decades and each time he sings he tells a great love story unlike no other. The UAE native poet and Sheikha Fatima Bint Rashid Bint Said Al Maktoom (commonly known as Ghayahib الشيخه فاطمة بنت راشد ال مكتوم غياهيب) wrote a poem for the Saudi legend.

Their song is about the new year and it sounds like something we have heard before. Ghayahib has given other songs for Abdu before, as well as Abdel Majid Abdallah, Rashid Al Majid, Mansour Zayed, Hussein Al Jassmi as well as others.

A song about what to come this year, as time passes love either grows or dies. The song shuts up all those people who have said Abdu is quitting or not feeling up to new songs. His song is about loyalty and commitment. I have always been a loyal fan of Abdu's he sings his heart out and connects with his listeners in a unique fashion.

Amr Diab is the one pop star from a different breed. Here's a video that chronicles his past success for the last 3 decades. Since he was a young man, how you wanted to be big times, and how he pulled it off. I love hte interview portion with the people who knew him back when he was a skinny guy who had a dream.

Amr Dian is Mr. untouchable. We can agree or disagree on his last two albums, but love him or hate him, he knows how to sell an album, a concert and promote products. He has not aged, and he looks ripped like hell, whatever he is doing he has been doing it very well. Egypt loves him along with them hundreds of millions around the world know and respect him.

Amr Diab did well for the musicians who work with him, but as for introducing new talents he has done little. Do you know any singers whom he has helped make it? No, but I know tend of musicians whose work with Amr Diab made them sexy. He is also a sharp dresser, he know his way around the camera--directors hate that, but he knows his business.

Throughout his career he is the pharmacy that we go to to cure some of our ills or preserve some of our joys. He is a dealer of whatever emotional state we are experiencing. There are other talents out there, but so far the only next Amr Diab is the one and the only Amr Diab who is about to released his final album with Rotana.

Fayez Al Saeed, Great Composer, Weak Singer

The UAE's most serious music talent Fayez Al Said tries to be too many things at the time time. He may be good at wearing too many hate, but the reality is far too complex. He is a busy composer--his melodies are the best thing to come out of the UAE's music scene. 6 out of 10 songs made in the Gulf, he has put his golden touches on.

With his new album out, he is pushing a new music video for that album. A lackluster pop song that falls flat and feels bland. It may be popular with some of his fans in the Gulf region, but a good song should not be limited to one region and not the other--there are many good Khaliji songs that make it out West. In the local scene  they have to come across as the conservative and traditional homeboy, but for the ones viewing them for the outside  they want to be hip and relevant.This kind of bipolar attitude complicate the marketing.

Fayez is a cool guy and he tries too hard to come across as one, but he does not really need to try that hard. We get it, he likes the club, scene he likes to dance and look good. Something about males in that part of the world, they would rather be goofy than be good. He has had better songs, but this song might be made for merely his fans.
