Becasue he did a song about a transgender whom he married, we know about Lebanese singer and musicians Zein Shaker. He is smart to do that song and now his name is out there, the free publicity works. Now comes his most mainstream followup song.
A song about a macho man who would do anything for the approval of the lady he loves. A typical Lebanese passionate song with a dance beat. I will walk like Bou Ali does--Bou Ali is the caricature for the manly man in Arabic culture. I would tear down this world for you, and give you my man word sings Zein.
The song is fun to dance too, but guys may like the lyrics but I find it hard to imagine women like such song.
I have taken a car ride for thirteen hours and so I was able to listen to a lot of great songs--Roa likes the Lebanese happy songs with a hint of sadness I like most songs, until they start to shout or the music gets too noisy. Some nice and soft songs work well fro the road, but then sometimes you need something that keeps you alert and not put your eyes or your mind to sleep.
But among the song selection I planed, was one particular song by Elissa that stood out to me. It might be the right moment or the sitting, but I felt the song was one of her finer choices where one can see she makes you believe the lyrics and the emotions she invokes. She has made scores of good songs, some of them get weaker with time, others only sound better with time.
You might not even be a fan of hers, but surely, she has one song that speaks to you.
So, the song is below and before it a piece of poetry and then the song comes--Law Baseet Odamak---I'm Right In Front Of Your Eyes. I found the song to be very real and the poetry right before it kicks in, sets the mood. What do you think of this song and what other worthy songs of her that you like? Please share.
She is a gifted and versatile Lebanese diva with the warmth of the sung and the intelligence of a think tank. She is known for her music and her live performances that put listeners at ease while serving them doses of sophistication and class.
This time she is out with her fourth album, Zaman or time. She was well known for her work with Marcel Khalifé whom she met at a young age. She was one of his main vocalist and together they made great (and timeless) music. Now with the help of her four musician friends who helped her come out with the best music formula for this truly impressive album. This year, she would have been performing live for 27 years!
Oumeima’s first live performance, was at the age of 16 (1981) in 16 American States. One of the poshiest performances she was involved in was at “Places des Arts” in 1992. She sang in many countries such as: America and Canada (5 times); Europe (Twice); Australia (once); Africa (once); Moscow (once); Algeria; Tuisia; Morocco; Emirates; Libya; Bahrain; Oman; Kuwait; UAE; Egypt; Sudan. Oumeima had countless performances in Lebanon: Beit al Dine; Unesco Palace; Assembly Hall (AUB); Pierre Abou Khater Theatre USJ…
This time she is the sole act, wrapped in real live music. She is singing one text of the celebrated late Palestinian poet Mahmud Darwish. The album has nine songs the lyrics and the music are the work of many seasoned Lebanese and Syrian composers and musicians. Beirut received her album with cheers and excitement Watch her speak on camera about what she feels. Her album addresses the dreams, romance, frustration and chaos

Nihad aba Rudy is a young talent from the Gulf whose effort to make good music has not gone unnoticed, but she needs to do more. If you Google the artists, you should be ab;e to find their picture and their bio without having to work too hard.
I cannot even find a correct way to spell her in even in Arabic. She made a dazzling song for those who like to dance. She has the voice many young Lebanese songstress would like to copy. She can also boast about the exotic look she has.
As far as the lyrics are concerned, they are not that original. The music arrangement did its job keeping the song loud.
