Tunisia music

[Mak]

Hi Again,

Tunisia is located in the middel of the Arabic world, so we were influence by the Arts coming from the middel East ( especially Lebanon and Egypt ) and the new kind of Art born in north Africa (especially in Algeria and Moroco : RAY) ... But still Tunisia has its own folklore music it's called : Mizoued ( the Scotch Big pipe ) the famous singers from this kind of music: Hedi Habouba, Salah Fourzit,Samir Lasmer, Faouzi Ben Gamra (he stoped singing)besides we have a kind of folklore called "Mathlouthi" it's closed to the Mizoued ... the most famous singer of Mathlouthi : Ismail Hatab ...

But also we find in Tunisia an unique kind of music called : "Malouf", it comes from the Arabic time in Andalous (spain now) and i think it's really something tunisian we can't find nowhere else ... since Spain is not Arabic anymore

There's a lot of good famous singers in Tunisia especially : Lotfi Bou Shneq, Hassin Ifrit, Amina Fakhit, Thikra Mohamed, Mohamed Jibali...i like a lot singers in Tunisia.

Even I know the words to ah we nos or the sound of them its like the brain washing from flash gordon it was on all the time when I first came to Tunisia.

The videos make me laugh especially Hifa Wahabi ones (spelt wrong) as its supposed to be sexy but becuase I have seen so much more on MTV its like sexy barbra windsor pouting and jiggling about but then again that is probably enough to give heart attacks in Yemen.

We have arabic tv here in the UK and the missus is always infront of it she loves old egyptian films with Aidel eiman and Halim Hafouz chap who is the Arabic Sinatra x2 Arabs love their stars more than the UK and I mean love Halim and Umm Kardumm are legends in Egypt, the latters funeral had around four million people and is down as one of the largest gatherings of people in the whole world ever! when I read about it I cried.

hafia

omg yeah hafia video is so funny in her red riding hood outfit..

 

[Kris]

Hafia gets a lot of stick for being a little sexy but you only have to look at the number of copy cats to see the she is popular she is also on a pepsi ad.

Hi everyone hope that you are all well ! Music well i am mad and i mean mad about arabic music, singers like amri diab, nancy arjam, sabeur rabai, ramzi ,mohamed hamaki,oh i can go on and on and on.
Ramzi bought out a new album and its perfectly wicked.
Tell you a story years ago Cheb khaled was singing in Hammamet and i never had a ticket, but i was adament that i was going to go no matter what, took money with me but it was no good the tickets had been sold so i walked up to the box office and the guy behind the box said with a very fierce voice femesh ticket, so i just walked straight up to a policeman and told them that i'd lost my group within 5 mins he lead me by the hand right up to Cheb khaled it was a night never to be forgotten.
Sabeur rabai was also excellent that was in mammora.
The great thing is that a 5 cds only cost 10 tnd.
Love to hear from someone who loves cds so that they can keep me posted. thankyou

Hi All

Ive been racking my brain trying to remember an old tune. It would have been between 1997-2001ish time, I think

I am positive the male singer was Egyptian but he had a number one hit in the Tunisia charts for absolute ages. I even saw him in concert the last time I was in Tunis,

If anyone remembers his name or the name of the song I would be greatful.

 

[selz]

mmmm soz hone dont think i can help u...im usually gud wiv this kinda thing..
Mayb google it...like dates & egyptian singer etc.

 

[Trulymadlydeeply]

Showing my age a bit i suppose!! You're mostly young ones on here

All I remember is when I used to watch it on a Sunday afternoon, the singer was standing on his own with a cream roll neck jumper on!!!!! If I can find the photos of the concert I will try and put his pic on here.

 

[selz]

[Trulymadlydeeply]
