Music

[aya*abouelnasr 0]

I would like to download some Arabic music so that I can burn some CD's for my husband to listen to when he comes here. Only problem is, I have NO idea who is popular in the ME, or names of artist to even look for. Can any one give me any hints or help me with names of artist, or groups that I should look for?

Seeing that your husband is coming on a K3 maybe leave the cd burning for him to give him something to pass time. That way he can find the music he likes to make the cds. Or just ask him which artists and music he prefers.

He can also buy the latest and greatest before he comes. CD's are only 1 JD and he will be able to pick out the stuff he likes.

I'll ask my hubby when I talk to him again this weekend. Problem is though, he listens to alot of American music. I'm almost embarassed to tell this...but he likes...Barry White. AGH! There...I said it!!

One time, when he was trying to be romantic, he lit a whole bunch of candles and started playing some music. When Barry White came on, I started laughing and couldn't stop. Don't get me wrong, I think Barry White was a great artist. It's just that his music DOES NOT put me in the mood!

Anyhoo, maybe I'll talk to my BIL, he's a little younger and is really into the music scene.

My BIL made me a CD of some Algerian Rai...it was GREAT!!!!

As mentioned above, Algerian Rai is always a good listen . Borrowing from my husband's playlist, I enjoy Cheb Nasro and there is a duet between Cheba Maria and Hamid Bouchnak that's good for wiggling while you work

Tammy, the most beloved singer among Jordanians is Omar Abdallat. Download all his songs and make him cd's from that. He will probebly like Diana Karazon too and Bashar Sahran. Those are the most popular in Jordan.

I bumped up the old song of the day thread, you can get some songs there. You can also sign up for a free account at www.live365.com, they have some arabic radio stations you can listen to. The nice thing about them is they put the name of the artist/song title for each song so you can download accordingly.

YE ... I agree I love it too! Everyone who hears Rai seems to just love it!

Cheb Nasros alright, buuuut many of his songs ripped from Hasni. I do love Cheb Maria... have you hear the song Mon bledi with Mohamed Lamine? I also love Cheb Bilal... but still my all time favs are still Mami and Khaled. And Faudel does have very good messages in his songs too!

Does anyone here like Vitaa, Diams or Senik here?
