Arabic Pop Band

Hello muchachos!

Just thought I'd show you some videos from the last concert we held. Off topic - of course (which probably still is considered taking a risk).

These are great! I love this kind of stuff. Which one are you up there?
Do you guys ever play with traditional instruments (oud, kanoon, etc...)?

Really nice to hear what's going on over there...

I am the guitarist on the far right of the screen sitting on a chair. I don't appear that often on the videos, unfortunately.

We don't use any authentic Eastern musical instruments. The stuff we play is mostly closer to Western stuff, with Arabic lyrics.

Glad you liked the videos...

Steady member for the past 7 years. But since each of us now works in a different country, we only re-unit once a year for this annual concert.

Hey Ramzi
Nice stuff man. I've noticed thats its almost impossible to have a spanish pop song without the word "corazon" in it. Is it possible to have an Arabic pop song without "habibi" somewhere in the lyric?

This is my third post , just to say nice videos….. and that Arabic lyrics (especially the traditional) is so nice…..with sound of singing centering the heart!
In music, I always believe that as flamenco is the “lyrics of the blood”…… Arabic lyric is the “Heart music”.
Ciao to all – I love this foro.
