August 27 Anasheed Updates - Surprise Ending for AmzFor Palestinian anasheed fanatics, I recommend the newly released album "Ya Msaafir 3ood" by Abdel Fattah 3wainaat. All his songs are available with or without eqaa3 (إيقاع ). He used to sing with Mais Shalash and Ayman Hallaq, as well as others, for their albums, but now he's finally going solo, alhumdulilah :). Since he's part Lebanese, he brings in some Lebanese influence to the traditional Palestinian tunes (see Ya Dar Innakhl - يا دار النخل ); it's subtle, but it's there. All his lyrics are very cool.
Also, try Fanateq.com for some cool stuff. Firqat Asiraat (فرقة الصراط ) has some new takes on good old weddingy stuff, although their mawwil-ing just sounds scary, unfortunately. At first I thought the singer was in pain.
The album La7n il Muqaawim (لحن المقاوم ) has become very readily available for free all over the internet. Khalli ishoog (خلي الشوق ) is a great song.
Firqat Al Baraa' (فرقة البراء ) and Firqat Al Yarmook ( فرقة اليرموك ) have some anasheed that I've not been able to find anywhere on the net, including 3allo Rayaat il Fara7 (علوا رايات الفرح) although most of their albums have long been available on enshad.net. Also, the famous tape Khansaa' Filasteen (خنساء فلسطين) is almost impossible to find online for free, although with a lot of searching (and registering on Arabic forums) you can find the most sought-after track, 3al Yaadi il Yaadi (عاليادي اليادي).
Finally, most anasheed by Firqat Al Ansaar (فرقة الأنصار ) are almost impossible to find online, especially my favorite song Il Maarid (المارد ).
Hmm..I think that's the latest I have with regards to Palestinian anasheed. If I think of anything else I'll add it inshallah.
Last but not least, there must be a way to find lyrics for the rather strange but hugely entertaining Algerian song, Sougi Belati. :D After having listened to it at least 11 times, I have only been able to decipher the following words and semi-sentences:
karaj - irkibi l7zaam - ouraniyeen something isma7li ya shabaab - ya radar - jdeed - yom sabni ichouffeur - tbghi - footi 3ala iddawwar - birdi birdi - beeraj - 7aawli wit kaisi - raii raii - ya Ra7ma (is that her name?!) - khatar - mghaamreen - karwaz - min il sharb (drinking, too :o) - berkan - esh tbghi - SOUGI BELATI !
Although admittedly not much, I get the big picture. Annd, I will from now on try to sougi belati as much as possible, even when I am given the freedom to drive 70 mph.
This gives me an idea for another post.
June 04 A Mystery - Ebru Gündeş or Jawad?Disclaimer: The only reason I typed this post was because a) I'm procrastinating and b) I'm bored and c) I'm trying to find Turkish news broadcasts which is how I happened upon Ebru's show on Youtube in the first place. I usually have no interest in any of the people/topics discussed below.
In a successful attempt to procrastinate (have a paper due tomorrow), I went to Youtube.com and started browsing for random videos. I unintentionally happened upon videos of the Turkish singer Ebru Gündeş ; one with the title "Allah Allah" caught my eye. Turns out it's her singing İbrahim Tatlıses' song.
But additionally, I found this: "Akıllı Ol" : why it was so intriguing was because I knew I had heard that tune somewhere before. I listened for a couple more minutes, then suddenly realized: "yijeelak yom, tindam 3ala ma sawwait..." ok so I knew those lyrics fit the tune perfectly but I couldn't remember who sung it.
Well, why don't you try and figure it out with this 00:52 second sample clip (wait for the chorus).
Ring a bell?
Well I turned to Google for help and typed in the Arabic lyrics I could remember, and the results showed me: Jawad il Ali.
Yuck.
But that's beyond the point.
I was right. Some Arabic singer had sung the same exact song as Ebru was singing, and it happened to be Jawad il Ali; "Yijeelak Yom". Here it is (masry version).
Wow. Exactly the same. No difference. Talk about plagiarism. So which one is the copy cat?
Jawad or Ebru?
Not that I care. But I do have a paper due tomorrow. And this mystery is definately a waste of time, in all senses of the word waste.
By the way, here is the link to Ebru's video clip for Akıllı Ol if you actually want to waste more time than I have. And more links for Jawad's different versions of "Yijeelak Yom" : Yijeelak Yom with Samman and Yijeelak Yom Remix Version.
The celebrity world puzzles me. And usually bores me. Except when I have a paper due the next day.
*snooze*
Peace and llama grease.
April 24 MixaaatInteresting (attempt?) ; tries to mix like Punjabi stuff with Arabic: Resaalah ....by Hussein il Jasmy... listen to it. I don't know what to think. I guess it's pretty cool, but the lyrics are kind of lame. Hmmm...a very nice topic to sing about, but he could have done so much more lyrics-wise. Geesh. رسالة
اشتكي من بعدهم .. قلبي متعلق بهم حتى لو دار الزمان .. في فؤادي حبهم هم على بالي اكيد .. لو عن عيوني بعيد و الله هذا الكون كله .. ما يساوي شوفهم اكتب بدمي لهم .. هالرسالة باسمهم حتى لو ما جا جواب .. يكفي توصل عندهم لو قروا شوقي الكبير .. و عرفوا اني بخير و اذكروني في غيابي .. كاني قاعد بينهم من كثر ما احبهم .. قلبي يسأل عنهم لو انا لحظة نسيت .. هو يذكرني بهم بعدهم عايش غريب .. لا وطن لي و لا حبيب ودي اغمض عيوني .. و القى نفسي عندهم Im still trying to find lyrics to al ra3y wal theeb...help. WD, I am looking towards your general direction. Ibleez ?! June 07 Ya 3one Allah

Totally cool nasheed ! It's like a 'hybrid' nasheed My new task: find out what the tappy things are called...I'd proably have to go to Egypt to figure that one out since its mostly Egyptian belly dancers who use them *another reason why I don't like the tappy things- I always associate them with gross belly dancers in a nightclub
Afternote: I found out what the tappy things are called...and no, I didn't go to Cairo for the answer..they're called "finger cymbals"..sheesh, I thought cymbals were only the larger ones... May 06 Just a quick finding!Hmm...found this site for nasheeds: They have a pretty good-sized collection...check it out.. April 22 Al I3tesam Band
Wow ! I found that Al I3tesam Band is really quite famous; they have their own website and actually sing all over the world Here's the website:
Check it out...they have a history of the band, a list of the singers plus their pix and brief bibliographies...also, they have a full list of all their tapes, some live concert clips, and lots of pictures from their various trips and concerts....and the funniest thing of all: http://www.i3tesam.com/songs.asp Go to the link, it gives a list of all their albums, and click on "Al 3urs Al Falastini" (the last one), it's about 30 minutes long..but it's like a mini-story of a marriage...it starts out with the father talking to his son and the thing goes on all the way to the wedding...it's like a skit with songs all throughout...the talking is so funny (it's in Palestinian Arabic), the characters are funny, and it's just the best The best thing though is their whole purpose behind becoming a band: They said they were sick of seeing people having unIslamic weddings, so they took it upon themselves to spread Islamic ways of singing and so on..and they have built like three mosques with the money they make from singing, as well as a youth center.....mashallah...
April 11 About the Palestinian Nasheeds ListAs you may have noticed, I've added a long list of Palestinian nasheeds and Wedding songs that I am hoping to update constantly. Here are some tips to help you listen to the nasheeds that suit your 'taste' (lol): 1) If you like traditional songs, I would recommend: - Resaaleh by al i3tisam band - Shuj3an Qawmi by al Rawabi band (probably the oldest and most traditional Palestinian way of singing ever) - Folklore Sha3bi 1 and 2 by al Yarmook band - Rabi Radeena by al Yarmook Band ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) If you like traditional but not SO traditional (more fast paced etc) try: - 7anoon by al Rawabi Band - Isma3 ya Zajjal w Ghanni by al Nujoom Band - 3ashoo il Abtal by al Rawabi Band - Ujbur 3al Kasr by al Yarmook Band - Sadr il Layl by al Yarmook Band - Falasteen by al Rawabi Band - Min Haifa by al Yarmook Band - 7ajar il Ghadab by al Yarmook Band ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) If you prefer a different, more hybrid style of nasheeds (as in not the traditional, conventional Palestinian style) I recommend: - Ya Um ishaheed by Kilna Sawa Band - Eltammi by al I3tisam Band - 7obik Ma3ee by al I3tisam Band - Siraj al Aqsa by al I3tisam Band ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the Wedding songs, try them out yourself And most of all, enjoy !!

...mix of traditional singing and drum rythms, but with some 'new' stuff like the jingles on the daff...also the tappy things *have no idea what they're called* that you play with your fingers...I personally don't like the jingles or the tappy things *ahem*, I think they appeal to a lot of people, but to me, they take away from the message of the song itself and almost make it something it's not supposed to be..
*....
..oh well...and here's a pic for you 
.....
....
....You have to imagine the whole thing, which makes it even more fun to listen to !!!
