WATCH: #Palestine Mobile Company AMAZING Commercial #Jawwal

They used to be the only cellphone company in Palestine, but they are part of the culture and the landscape. Jawal is their name, and since they are bout Palestine, they made a new commercial that shows all the young pop stars from that land--all these names made their name on singeing competitions from Super Star to Star academy, ending with Arabs Got Talent finalist painting with fire and graffiti artist.

the style of the commercial is pretty dazzling, they hired five talents and they starred in this promotional marketing campaign that talks about family and land. They booked Lian Bazlmit, Ammar Hassan, Haitham Shomali, Mohannad Khalaf and Murad Suiaty. this was a treat for their respective fans and a home run for the company who copied a Western model to tell a Palestinian story by local artists. The song is about being away and home at once, sort of what mobile companies enable you to do.

This is creative marketing, and allows all these young talents to get exposure and a home brand--they also got paychecks and perhaps free phone lines.

You put the best and most experienced record producer in Egypt inside a studio, bring in the most vocally flexible hungry young talent and wait few months! The outcome is a fun album that you are about to enjoy. This is how you make rad Egyptian pop that establishes a new standard for cool. Nasr Mahrous is that producer, Diab is that artist, and here's their second album collaboration.

Nasr is a gift to Egyptian pop--a curse to its politics. His label Free Music only makes the finest and the coolest musically entertaining tracks. Nasr, composes music, writes lyrics, produced and directs music videos. He is a know it all and has been rocking Egyptian pop for more than forty years. I like Diab, he makes Egyptian pop cool and close to the streets without being Vulgar....he is like that old and young man sitting in a neighborhood cafe and chatting it up.

While paparazzi often go through celebrities trach bins to figure out what kind of food, they are eating and what medications they are on....one Lebanses pop star may have had a case of the TMI, when she shared with her followers a collection of the medications she is on. I cannot tell what these medications are for, but I know I can only tell the Vitamin C one. Now, this is a creative force to let people and fans know more about the life of their entertainer by the entertainer. So this is a first, I am not aware of any other celebrates who have done this. Maybe she has a cold, and that's something that looks like nasal shots. so much for glamour!

What do you see? Can you make out these medications? whatever it's hope Diana, the princess of Arabic pop makes a speedy recovery.

In other news Diana Haddad continues to work on her upcoming album and shooting new music videos. She has been attached to the Hala Feb music festival in Kuwait where she dazzled them all with her music, grace and warm personality.

@HaifaWehbe Stars In The First Pornographic Adult Film (Video) فيلم هيفاء وهبي حلاوة روح

To her credit, she is not the only one at fault here. Haifa Wehbe has the will to reveal a lot of skin in exchange for a good sum of money. The producer and low-life Al Sobky family put up the money, and the backing for this pornographic adult film. For them it's business, not art and certainly not freedom of expression.

Now the larger blame is on the audience who will shell dollars to see such movies at the cinema house. They will talk smack about the movie, and the stars, but they will race to the movie theater to see this film in shame and discreetly. Look Haifa is always a smart business woman, this is why most of the leading males stars are spending the bulk of their time leering at her and treating her like a piece of meet--not a human bring with a soul. and then they wonder why so much sexual harassment in Egypt. That kind of sanctioned culture where males behavior of molesting and harassing women is OK is dangerous.

Not every one is happy with the film, a number of activists have voiced concern about this film--they called it pornographic and not cinematic or artistic. This is a shame that in Egypt, you are not  allowed to make or screen a film about serious topics, but films about sex are more than welcome. And yes, there's nothing Egyptian men love more than a Lebanese lady who is willing to strip for them and show them her body parts--sadly, they think all Lebanese females are like that. This is pop culture for you. Haifa spends the bulk of time wearing sexy clothes and playing on her bed alone and along with other ugly, bald and fat men.

I did screen the preview to a number of Western movie buffs, and they were shocked such a raunchy movie would come from a conservative place like Egypt. Even in the States, this is considered an adult film. As acting Haifa does her best playing a role of a convincing Egyptian gal--when hundreds od unemployed and capable Egyptian actresses sit at home.

You may not fall in love with Karim Mohsen's new hair style, but you will respect his for the new single he just released. It's his most lovable track to date, it's his most romantic version of himself he has mustered. It's an all around strong song, with great music, and the emotional appeal of love song that you will never get sick of.

He made a cool track more than a month ago, and while I love the song, I hated the sexed up music video that released. Now, that was last year, now he makes nice and delivered a wonderful track--the one with butterflies and everything is perfect.

Karim has always been a favorite of mine, he is a musician not just a singer

Yes, there are thousands like here who share Lebanese (Syrian) heritage with Brazilian citizenship,  but she has the coolest and most exotic name for a Lebanese media personality. She also holds a degree in English literature. Carolina de Oliveira shot to fame on the MBC network where she worked for years on various shows and programs, now she left that gig to act. She has also appeared on celebrity duets about two years ago, where she had an exchange who a judge who was picking on her--she put him in his place.

She is back in the spotlight and she dishes about a love story she is living. She is currently starring on a Lebanese drama that will air on LBC. She has appeared on an Egyptian film years ago, but this is the first time she takes the lead. She seems to maybe want to come back to TV and hosting a number of shows.  She is a well-decorated entertainer with half a dozen awards.

About 12 years ago, Nancy Ajram became a sensational pop star, she released a cute music video (Akhasmak Ah) that propelled her to an A list songstress in a matter of days. It was an instant hit and became a catch phrase among men, women and children loved to dance to it.

In 2014, it feels like Nancy Ajram is trying to recreate that nostalgic feeling to her earlier songs. This would be her 8th album. There is not other pop star that had the kind of success she had in very short years. She is an inescapable star whose fame and popularity can never slow down. Filmed her new music video in Lebanon with the colorful Joe Bou Eid. Nancy Ajram will star alongside Mr. Lebanon 2013 Ayman Musa.

She is teasing folks with a new track Tegy Hena, while we do not hear anything from Nancy, we see the look and the killer red lipsticks. She has arguably the best talent manger in the business who only makes very calculated steps and Nancy Ajram seems to trust him and so far he does not seem to have ever let her down. This time she stars as a watermelon vendor who gets harassed by people. Why not? Try the new teaser, and remember that hit form more than a decade ago.

Beautiful Vocalist Houda Saad Does Right By Moroccan Music @Hoditactic

Embedded image permalink
Houda Saad, sang in every Arabic dialect under the sun, a career of five years and a student of music in the Switzerland, and she seems to have made a clear decision.....make Moroccan songs her bread and butter. It's a shame when many capable and talented artists from Maghreb lose their own dialect and sing in whichever dialect that pays them more.

Houda sang in all those dialects, but it seems for the past two years she has pledged to make Moroccan songs cooler and bring them to a wider audience. She is a elver musician and blessed songstress. I respect the choice she has taken and I think it's about time for someone to step up and enrich the music scene with that exotic and deeply rooted Moroccan style. I think you will find her music a fusion between that ancient Moroccan scent, and what's hip in the European capitals.

Houda wrote this song, lyrics and music are all her own, it's all in her head, and got to her lips when she sang it. It's better this way, she only makes what she feels, and she is the only one to make it real as she breaths her own life into the track.

Was that a coup? or wasn't not? No one really knows what is happening in Libya right now and that worries many of the Libyans and the non-Libyans alike. Violence and dysfunctional government seems to be a sad reality of life in Libya.

This is why one of the most famous musician to come from that land just released a new song, a love-declaration for how much he loves that land--yet he lives in Egypt. It's a good song, and energizing, I bet the Libyans would appreciate it at this time. I like the dance beat, it's just too short. Thank you Hamid Shari for keeping Libya on his mind at this moment.

In an interview with Elaph beloved Lebanese (French) composer and musician stated the obvious, every single Arab regime from the ocean to the Gulf has suppressed its people. Marcel Khalife was attending a show by the Lebanese orchestra performing his own songs. Marcel Khalife had not done anything with the music conservatory in years, this was his coming home to the place where he studied and taught Arabic.

The beloved musician and activist spoke truth to power, and had a lot of hopes about the future. This guy was the Arab Spring before it was cool to be so. He is about freedom and change, and people getting back their rights...  Lebanon is so proud of him and hundreds came out to attend his concert. He feels the love from all the attendees, the lovely (and Marcel Khalife pioneer) Omayma Khalil had a song in the program

More often than not, indie music does not pay the bills, but going mainstream helps. Transitioning from the music industry into the movie biz helps boost one's paycheck. First there was Wust Al Balad band where Hany Adel was a band member and a driving force. Then he went solo, then Hany starred in indie films, and now he is making the big step into commercial flicks that come with a hefty paycheck.

Hany has featured a song in that movie....with the help of few kids. Luckily he wrote the music for his latest track about the alphabet and life....a lonely letter is like the person whose charterer Hany is playing....bring your letter next to mine, we become a word, a sentence that makes sense. It's an indie feeling music video like these Sundance films tend to utilize.

Reem Ezz el Din is one of many talents competing on the voice, the Lebanese version that it. While there are many other talents on the program who help drive its rating. One of them stands tall as she has a respectable career--she is a dentist.

As of her style, she sounds like her very own talent--compare her to Angham, she has a lady-like voice, and a girl-like emotions that she channels so well. Not sure how far she will go on The Voice, but she has left an impression with me and I am glad I got to hear her single.She is a young Egyptian vocalist who also is finishing her medical training at the University of Cairo--a really tough university to get into.  So, good looks, check! smart and educated, check! Warm and angel-like voice, check!

These Two Young Men Are In Love! Zayed And Fouad Break Out!

They are two young men who seem to be the greatest of friends. One sings in English, and the other is the son of a beloved pop singer in Egypt. But he is leaving the shadow of his old man to make his own legacy....he is acting in his friends's music videos. He shows some confidence and promise in the birth of his own career. It's insane but he does look like his father Mohammad Fouad. The due goes by the name Zayed and Fouad

I like Zayed's style in performing this English language song. This is how the duo describe themselves.

With big aspirations and visions that spurred from a young age, Ahmed Zayed and Abdelrahman Mohamed Fouad are finally making it all happen. These childhood best friends of Egyptian descent have a dream to take amateur music video productions to the next level. Zayed who has always been known for his honest, sultry yet deep voice is prepared to merge his ambition for singing and his determination to succeed to make it internationally. Fouad always had a talent and a message to send not through his voice, but through acting with his whole being. These unique hybrid between an actor and a vocalist is a pioneering statement made by two Egyptians with a Western ambition, willing to make a statement through their artistic productions.

I do not know about you, but I sort of Miss Nawal Al Zoghby and her songs. The lady of pop and charisma has not released a new song in a very long time, but it seems she was booked for a valentine concert in downtown Beirut. The good news, she is talking about her album who is in progress.

She seems to have the finest names in Arabic pop, Salim Salamah, Samier Sfier, Waleed Shamy and Rami Sabri--who seems to have given Nawal a find Egyptian song. Good luck.....Then Bassem Faghali the drag queen also gave an interview.....this guy is a big deal and has always shocked people with his antics, outfits and impersonations.

Then comes Anwar Nour, the rising pop star who moonlights as a heartbreaker.

The Reinvention Of Maya Diab--Did She Copy Beyoncé? #Ya_Niyali

She finally calmed down and left behind the loud pop songs that almost feel snappy. She made the most party songs, now this time she found a place where her heart is.... a new single from her that shows that lady is not just an amazing self-promoter.

I like this Maya Diab, if anything we should see more of this side, not just see more of her skin and forward-leaning outfits. Maya has a good talent and she is endowed with many skills, but warm winter love songs are not easy for her. She did a 180 degree turn and she is not Elissa, she is not Merriam Faris, she is not Julia Boutros, she is something in between.

I love the oud bit and the vocals she mustered, it feels like Fayrouz, the piano stars the song beautifully. This time Maya Diab feels comfortable in her own skin, minimal special affects, minimal strange outfits, it's just her, the camera and her natural look. It works well....Maya is a credit to the Lebanese song.

As for the music video, critics have it that Maya Diab copied a music video 1+1  released by Beyoncé two years ago where there are lots of similarities. There are things that look similar, the theme feels similar and also the songstress do resemble one another. But I doubt even Beyoncé may have copied another one, it's hard to find music videos that are original, that's because they make too many of them.

New Generation, Throwback Music Of #Jerusalem With Ahmad Dari

I love the outfits the band wears, I especially love when the lead plays a backup singer for an older folksy star who feels like my grandpa. The Jerusalem native artist and calligrapher Ahmad Dari has one of his rare professionally mastered songs that celebrates folklore. Ahmad is a very active musician who seems to be self-made with little resources.

I appreciate this kind of music that mixes tradition with a great sense of humor, singing about hope and helplessness without sounding desperate. Drinking tea and smoking an old-school hookah while sitting in some park evokes so many memories. Well done Ahmad, you made a song that both my father and his father will enjoy and celebrate.

even though Ahmad Dari wrote the music and the lyrics, the main voice is by Amr Khalil who resides in Jerusalem and Ahmad who lives in Paris.
