Well it's been more than two weeks since my last post, that's because I had a vacation to Tunisia and then I finally had the chance to meet Latifa 5 times within 9 days; I am not going to talk about this now, but maybe later in details with photos and videos :Pp~
I super hate the police men in their airport because they made me forget two posters I've got from there :( They made me go back and forth many times and that's why I forgot them :(
كرهوني بعمري شرطة مطار تونس قرطاج....حتى في بوكي طلوا اللي يقول الحين اسكت عملتهم بالسما...فتشوني بمطارهم أكثر من ما تفتشت بمطار الكويت و انا راجع من تونس...بس هم شفت لطيفه 5 مرات في 9 ايام و هذا كافي :Pp¬
I think the clock above is the landmark of Tunis (the capital not the country), even while I was taking that photo police men were standing by me because their ministry of interior was just on the other way.
One more thing...Yeah I had fun since I had the chance to meet Latifa 5 times within 9 days (In case you didn't read the first lines). :Pp¬
انا اعتبر الساعة اللي فوق علامة في تونس العاصمة (مثل ابراج الكويت في الكويت)...حتى و انا قاعد اصور هالساعة كان واقف يمي شرطي عشان كانت وزارة الداخلية مالتهم بظهري...حمدلله و الشكر مادري شلون بصور بظهري!
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Music Globalization"?
If not...Then this is the best way to know my definition of that phrase!
The song released in Latifa's official website a week or so before the official release of the album on 12th of July 2008.
The first time I heard it It shocked me, I didn't expect to listen to anything like that ever...The song mixes genuine Arab singning teqniqe which is "Arab Tarab" (طرب عربي) - you can hear it when Latifa start singing in the beggining - with an Arab sad melody played with violin, in some parts it feels like the violin is dancing with the westurn disco beat and the electro guitar in the song, I can rephrase that to mixing two extreme unrelated music from two different worlds in a great harmony.
I can't explain that anymore, but you have to listen to it and you'll figure it out (and I would love to know what do you think).
As far as I know, the music video is going to release soon...I will add it here when it's out, maybe with English subtitles since many anonymous people requested the translations of the song (I didn't relize that people actually read my blogs!)
UPDATE: They refer to this music genre as "TekTonik" or "Tectonic", it even has it's own dance!
This is the first Arab Tektonik song, Latifa mixed it with Arab instruments.

In the last few days...
He had enough strength to live his life without me...Why?
I can't believe that he accepted to allow the night to fall while he is not beside me!
If he was planning for something...
Why didn't he tell me about it?!
People, When he forget all about me...My life will end instantly!
I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?
What is he doing now and where is he?
If one day he saw me with his own eyes...
That day he will feel sorry about me...
Without him, my heart is scared because it already knows the subsequence of being apart
I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?
I honestly didn't expect anything about this album, I thought it was going to be a "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" album deplicate but it wasn't at all!
I do love "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" album don't miss understand me but this album reminds me of the old Latifa, Latifa of the 80s and 90s...
I loved most of the songs in the album if not all of them (13 songs in the CD and 12 in the cassette), it took me awhile to get it, I usually hate every album I listen to for the first time.
I can't pick one song as the best song in the album, each song has it's own beauty...But I am sure that the song "Fil Kam Yom illi Fato" (In the past few days) is going to make a HIT if it didn't already! The song mixes extreme Westurn music with Extreme Arab music teqniqyes and instruments in a great harmony....That's what I call Music Globalization.
One of my super favorite songs in the album is "Sibny Shuwaya" (Leave me alone for a while), i also loved "Ya Aghla Qalb" (The most precious heart", "Ana Omri Ma Hansak" (I will never forget you), "Low Fakir" (If you remember), "Beyikthib" (He is lieing), "Konna Zaman" (We used to be), "Rohi Betrod Fiya" (My soul returns to me), "Fakir Eh" (Do you think).
I am still listening to the album and finding new songs that I might love, but I think it does worth buying.
I made the video below almost 2 weeks ago, enjoy :)
سويت الفيديو اللي فوق شوفوه حلو و الا لأ؟ I just made the video above, let me know if you like it or not.
الاغنية صخر...طريقة الغنا طربية عربية بحتة قرار مع غيتار روك على موسيقى كمنجة شرقية مع ايقاع غربي بالخلفية The song is amazing, it mixes both Arab Tarab (singing technique) with westurn music
نزلت أفلام تورنت و ما كان الصوت شغال فيهم، فقعدت أدور كودك صوت عشان يشتغل و هم ماكو فايدة...آخر شي قررت أجرب إني أنزل برنامج VLC و مشت السالفة و الحمدلله....المشكلة الحين ان ما عندي وقت اشوف شي.
و اذا كنتوا منزلين فلم تقدرون تنزلون معاه ترجمة و تشتغل مع الفلم من خلال هالبرنامج :)
اذا عندكم مشاكل مع الفيديو او شي جربوا هالبنرامج...تقدرون تنزلونه من هالوصلة.
أمس رحت فلم The Strangers...انا ما اعتبره فلم رعب اهوه فلم إثارة أكثر....أنا بالعادة ما أخاف من الأفلام بس كنت قاعد و يمي اربع كراسي فاضية بعدين في واحد قاعد، كل ما يصير مشهد أكشن ينقز و يلم اللي يمه و يحرك الكرسي و يخرعني...كل هذا بحركة وحدة شفتوا الفن بس ولا جاكي شان

Today i finally went to pay my phone bill in Wataniya's HQ building...the only red building in Kuwait city and I guess its the only red building in the world. I usually pay it online through their website but the service is down for the last 3 months so I had to move it and go to pay it before they suspend it...the employee there told me the bill is 67 KD (around 210 USD) then asked me if its suspended and if I still can call people and I replied: "Yes, and I came with my free will to pay the bill (she laughed and I kept talking)...BTW what's wrong with your online payment service, its been this way for 3 month or so.. She replied: "i don't know".
بالغصب و بعد جهد جهيد و بعد قعدة على الكمبيوتر 4 ساعات تقريباً قدرت اسوي اللي فوق
