more Ethiopiques
 

Well they are very good, as I really did enjoy them, but I can't quite find what's so Arabic about it. I really think though, you should post about it in the Jazz section.

Egyptian hip hop
 

Although this is not what I listen, I thought I should share :)

^That's interesting. I donno though, I think maybe with hip-hop it has to be either instrumental or I have to understand what they're saying to really enjoy it...

Edit: Actually, after a second listen...I think it was just the first rapper that really put me off and bugged me. After that it was pretty decent. :thumb:

I am actually a big fan of Arabic music now, from previously dating and Arab he introduced me to a lot of music! I will find some of the artists I really like and post some videos later.

Good to see more people on here :thumb:

I'll be uploading to youtube a video of each of the three artists I reviewed for now, as I couldn't find my favourites on the net.

Edit: About the Egyptian rap song. I have something against the Arabic rap scene, as they tend to imitate Americans a lot, which kinda covers the true issues was all created about. Living in Egypt, the environment should give you enough material for millions of songs, but instead they decide to talk about a girl leaving him for someone who got money.

Maybe because of the tough censorship, that'd be my first guess. But if you want to be a "rapper", I think breaking the box should be a priority. However, it is enjoyable, outside the lyrics.

Black Metal from Bahrain. The lyrics are written in Standard Arabic.

Kind of a shame this thread is dead.

Anyway, here's Syrian legend, Sabah Fakhri

This is Persian, not Arabic, but I'm putting it here.
