Ok. This thread is pathetic, and I will change this reality. As Arabs only use their internet skills to add people on facebook and send messages like "u r so sweety", I thought it's time I'll just share my knowledge. I don't know much, a lot less then other people living here, but I'll try my best, and maybe get the ball rolling.
For now, I have talked in my journal about Fairuz, and Raï music. Plus Bulldog has covered Marcel Khalifé, and we can count Anouar Brahem in.
So to check them out:
Fairuz
Raï Music
Marcel Khalifé
Anouar Brahem
As for now, I'll try to update this thread as much as I can. It's either with Arabic speaking songs, or with Arabic artists not necessarily singing in the native language. If you need any links, I know some blogs that only have Arabic music, so just give us a shout.
Edit: I'll try to talk about the ones already mentioned in this thread, for a start. As no one felt the need to do more than throw names.
