Hiba Tawaji - Metl El Reeh

hiba-tawaji

Hiba Tawaji was a lead actress in “The Return of the Phoenix”, a historical epic musical play by Oussama Rahbani
created and written by Mansour Rahbani.

You probably know her from the LBCI ads for the play, she has a very beautiful voice and they used to play a piece of “Mitl El Reeh” each time they run the ad. Today I got the full version of the song from my friend so I thought of sharing it with you, worth posting!

Click here to download the song.

P.S: I removed the flash player because I have noticed it is causing an error in Internet Explorer 7.0 and below.

George Wassouf arrested

November 3rd, 2008 Rami No comments

According to the news, George Wassouf sayir manzou3! The Swedish police arrested him because he was in possession of 30 grams of cocaine.

George Wassouf

According to AFP:

Syrian-Lebanese crooner George Wassouf was arrested in Sweden at the weekend on drug charges just hours before he was due to perform a concert, police told AFP on Sunday.

Wassouf “has been held in police custody since yesterday (Saturday) on drug charges,” a police officer in the western Stockholm district, Martin Holm, told AFP.

Wassouf is probably the most famous drugs addict in Lebanon, his dumb look tells everything! He has been helping lot of people getting high on songs like “El Hawa Soltan” for so long now, and he deserves a break… in Stockholm.

Comptine d’un autre été

June 10th, 2008 Rami No comments

I just love to start the day with some classy music. Listen to this WONDERFUL soundtrack called “Comptine dún autre été” by “Yann Tiersen”.

From Wikipedia:

Comptine D’un Autre Été: L’après-midi is a piano piece composed by Yann Tiersen, best known from Amélie but also used in the German movie Good Bye Lenin!, for which Yann Tiersen also composed the soundtrack.The composition is quite a melancholy tune in the key of E minor, played with simple accompaniment patterns. It is understood within the film to contribute a sadness to the film, representing days gone by, in combination with the simple beauty of the piece representing the contrasting emotions felt by the titular character at that point in the film.

Recently used as the departing theme music on the BBC television show The Restaurant.

Thanks to ynoT from Shi Feshil for providing the YouTube video.

Just listen: W Tmayali (Sway)

May 13th, 2008 Rami No comments

Have a break! Turn off the TV, and don’t listen to the news for the next 5 minutes. Instead, play this YouTube video, that’s one of my favorite Lebanese music. It’s called “W Tmayali” (”Sway” in English) from an album called “Sabah”  (”Morning” or “Sunrise” in English) and it’s composed, written and arranged by Nadim Mohsen.
