Click play to listen to Ziad while you read! Introduction Those who are familiar with the Arabic music scene, know that for all the musical accomplishments of the early composers and singers, and for all the popularity of Arab musicians both in the Arab world and internationally, innovation, or perhaps appreciation for innovation, is noticeably lacking. This is only natural considering the economic and technological challenges of creating music and funding its continued production in these Arab countries, most of which are home to struggling economies, not to mention that freedom of expression is by and large muted and artists that address issues such as politics, sex, religion, minorities and the like have been and continue to be persecuted. On the level of content, art is subject to a large degree of state control and manipulation, and is threatened by a need to compete with the massive production capabilities of the United States and other Western countries whose cheap and crude cul...

Mansour Rahbani wrote this song for his brother and partner Assi Rahbani when he fell ill. Of course, Fairuz was the wife of Assi at that time, and to top it off, Assi's son the budding talent Ziad Rahbani was asked to compose the music. Fayrouz - The People Asked Me The people have asked me about you, my darling They've written letters and the wind took them It's not easy for me to sing, my darling When for the first time, we are not together The people asked me about you, they asked me I said "he's coming back, don't you dare blame me" I closed my eyes fearing that the people would see me hiding you in my eyes (meaning she's thinking about him and caring for him) And the wind picked up out of nowhere For the first time, we are not together He appeared in the night and said "light my way" "The night found me and put out my lamp" "Don't ask me how I found me" "My heart was my guide to you" "He who has su...

Joseph Saqr - It's a Bad Situation It's a bad situation Layla Looks like the engagement's off You're rich, Layla and we're broke You're in a valley, and we're in another valley And every moment we're more apart The floor of our house doesn't even have a carpet And you're used to walking on feathers (ie something really fancy) They confused you, they messed with your head They kept at it until they changed you They put a royal crown on your head And you forget those who wear the Fezzes (the people who wear Fezzes or the Tarboush in Lebanon and Syria are the people who live a rural life in the mountains, ie not rich) Oh I remember when we used to go to see you and you used to come see us It seems that it's hard for he who has lived in happiness beside you to go back to living by himself جوزيف صقر وزياد رحباني - الحالة تعبانة الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى خطبة ما فيش انت غنية يا ليلى ونحنا دراويش انت بوادي ونحنا بوادي وكل لحظة بعدنا زيادة الارض اللي عند...

This is a legendary song from the play "Bil nisba lebukra shou (بالنسبة لبكرا شو)" composed by Ziad Rahbani and performed by Joseph Saqr. The video isn't, but the audio file I've provided is the original performed by Joseph Saqr. Joseph Saqr - Living All By Herself Without You Living all by herself without you And without your love, my boy Quit talking about your love for her The whole country is laughing at you You love her? Yeah, you love her But she couldn't care less about you Living all by herself without you Disgusted by God and your heaven What has God afflicted you with my boy? Living by herself and comfortable Seriously, soooo comfortable without you She has killer eyes, it makes no difference if you care about her She said to you "melt me with your love" and you melted and she didn't It's not the first time, before that it's happened 100 times They can't figure out what you're thinking, nor do they know what will cure you Yo...

This song is taken from one of the plays of Ziad Rahbani entitled "Nazl El Surour" or "Happy Inn" and is performed by Joseph Saqr. This song is hugely famous in Lebanon and Syria and was later performed by Fairuz. For that version click here. Tannourine is where the cedar tree reserve is found in Lebanon, one of the few places where you can still find old Lebanese cedars growing. Joseph Saqr - The Bus Upon the rumble of the bus that was carrying us from the village of Hamlaya to the village of Tannourine I remembered you, oh Aaliyah, and I remember your eyes God damn your eyes are so pretty Aaliyah We were riding the bus in this heat and dying of exhaustion One guy's eating lettuce, another guy's eating figs And there's another guy with his wife Wow, his wife is so ugly Lucky them, their minds are completely empty, the Tannourine passengers They don't know your eyes, Aaliyah They're so beautiful We were riding the bus, riding without paying Some...

This is the Fairuz version of the original first performed by Joseph Saqr in the Ziad Rahbani play entitled "Nazl El Surour." That's why Fairuz is singing about a girl named Aaliyah, not for any reason other than that.
