Weird Al Of Arabia Back With Super Leefa خليك في النور يا أمور - البوم أبو الليف


Canadian singer Weird Al has been entertaining the masses with humor and pop songs, he does it by writting simple songs that lampoons other popular songs with a humorous twist. Just look the pictures of the singer above and you cannot not see the weirdness and contradictions in it.

Egypt has met its own version of Weird Al in 2009, with a guy so weird that most had no idea how to classify him. At first he worked under the name Abu Leefa, but then he changes his name to Abu El Rish, and nobody seems to know what to call him anymore. He has become a household name and has appeared in a number of talk shows.

Here's what we can know about him

He is Egyptian singer-songwriter, music producer, actor, comedian, writer, satirist, and parodist.Abe El leef is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. But he also does original songs about how fake people can be and how messy families are. When he is not mocking other songs, he can really make song heartfelt songs. 


Abu El Leef will be releasing his new album later this week, and we only have a teaser that's only few seconds long. The music sounds like a rap song--something like those of 50 center and Lil Wayne. This is an album that will give us laughter and little wisdom at the same time. The same team that was behind the hit album of 2009 are back for the 2012 dose.

There is a duet with Egyptian pop throwback Hisham Abbas

With "Fekra" Aziza Reinvents Arabic Pop








I have found a truly fresh sounding beat for a song everyone seems to hate on YouTube. The beat is a new old one as it seems to come from an old Arab tune inspired by the great Egyptian maser composer Abdel Wahab. Only to have some guys with new fancy computers affects to give it a hip makeover that will draw more listeners. Yes the song takes fusion seriously and bring the beach music with an Eastern twist as she incorporates the drum.

Thus comes to the stage a different kind of star unfit for that other time and perfect for our new age--in the age of Lady Gaga and MIA, Katy Perry, we ought to find something more colorful and bolder with their ideas, outfits and flexible on that thing some call comfort zone. Aziza is a very old school name, it's amazing that someone with that name can be this hip.

I think aside form being cool, Aziza is gifted and she has the vocal strength to do a very good pop song--whatever that means now. She has many things going right for her, the persona is one of them. I think she takes a fresh approach as wardrobe. She does more than one look and each one of them is a world apart from the other--a creative way to launch a career and start the debate

"Men Rights" By Nicolas El Osta 2012 / حقوق الرجال - نقولا الاسطا 2012


Ladies are up an arms against Lebanese singer Nicola El Osta who is a fixture of Lebanese parties in the United States. They are upset with his new song called "Men Rights"! Let's get the story straight, Nicola has played Jesus once before on stage in 2010 so he has to be Mr. nice guy.

Nicola is on hot water not for anything religious, but rather something social. He is complaining that women have too much rights now, and he sees that men need an association to defend their rights. In his song he calls ladies the sweet ones calm down please!" I am sure feminists won't be too happy. Some went as far as calling the song a feminist parody.

Nicola argues that women now dominate TV screens, and all sorts of jobs and that yet to date women have to be satisfied. It's a Lebanese beat made for Debka dance. To his credit, Nicola calls women the man's other half and shies away from being chauvinistic like these songs can often become. It's what it's, so you either love or or hate it. I know the song does not interest me too much.

Mohammed AlMinhali, A Young Talent I Enjoy


Mohammed AlMinhali is out to give Gulf music a makeover, where the looks and the swagger carry plenty of weight. I love the beat of his song, like his look and I think he is a natural on camera. Unlike many stars from the Gulf who seem to have a hard time with the camera, Mohammed is confident and pulls it off.

With his 100% Arab look and his UAE nationality, things are looking great for this young talent who has been singing for 3 years professionally. I am seeing more and more Gulf pop increasingly becoming bold and getting better. I like the black light and exotic dancers in the background....but I am sure most dudes would be excited to look at the car he sports.

Not to forget Mohammed's impressive voice, this what should count first.

O' Egypt by Shady From Yorka Band



The audio is not perfect, but this is strikes me as a heartfelt song from a fresh Egyptian voice. Current events in today's Egypt gave a lot of people reasons to be worried, but Egypt has always been fine, it has seen the worse and has always manged to bounce back.

This was a night of music at the Main Cairo Library where many young talents vying to impress. The talent's name is Shady Abdel Salam and he is part of a Yorka Band, a little known band outside Egypt, but well known to many Egyptians--the young ones.
