Country Egyptian Music for the English Speaking world!!

I’ve just discovered this dude today. This is the best introduction to Egyptian “country” music made easy to the English-Speaking world :-)

Title: Do you love me, By: Mostafa Helal, Album: Banat El-Arab (Arab Women)

This album is like varied fusion of Egyptian with other world music styles:

Do you love me: English in “country Egyptian music” style *** very funny
Zay Ma Teegy: techno fusion
Seedi Hosnak: Turkish/iran/iraq kind of mix
Saket: Western Classical fusion
Roht Fein: South America fusion
Banat ElArab: American Slow + fusion
Abdel Raheem: Brazilian fusion *** this one is fun

That said, this whole album’s music, while funny, is really average/below average ;-)
