the original music is beautiful! I think that some hebrew artists took the music and put hebrew lyrics onto it too, other then OL.
brother did you know that the arabic classic "Sultana's Lament" lyrics are original jewish?

 

[Ko_B]

It's a great song, we were honoured to use it.

Salam,
Kobi.

Wow - It's so weird... Never heard that kinda music apart from in the Kebap store. I hear the link with the Nora song.

Anyone has some high produced oriental music?

 

[Folklore]

try the link thread Obay started yesterday. I wrote some excellent links there

 

[obay bringer of light]

well I like it too
Norra el Norra is such a wonderful art I have to say, it was a great way to mix old with new, orintal with western music

the_dying you can find other oriental music in the sites that I put in the song page

Damn- no luck, the site is not available at the moment. But I will be sure to try again later.
I am going to check out the rest of the links as well.
Bringer of light, if I may ask you something- is access to the internet wide spread and unlimited in Syria? Sorry if I sound ignorant, I am just curious to know.

 

[obay bringer of light]

no, the site is working for sure, but I got a big background it need some time to load

well, in between, I got internet three of four years ago
almost all my friends got internet connections or they -at least- go to internet cafe every now and then

I got alot of friends who do hacking stuff, and every two weeks they call me saying go to those websites and see what did we do.
internet is wide spread in other countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, K.S.A and other gulf countries.
and like anyother contrey I do some of my homeworks,reseachs using internet

in Syria the www.*.il sites are closed, I don't know about other contries.

 

[obay bringer of light]

my question to Kobi and the other orphans is what other oriental artists do you listen to ??
and Kobi do you any metalhead here in syria whose nickname is "the Succubus" recenlty "ocean gypsy" ??

 

[Morticia NL.]

Thank Bringer of Light- it seems to me that internet has taken a lot of countries out of their isolated position.
Surely everyone knows the way round the .co.il limitations

 

[Ko_B]

I also listen to Om kolthoum and many more from Iraq, Iran and so on.

 

[Folklore]

I also like Feiruz (which for whom dont know she's the most adorned Lebanese singer).

im not home so I dont remember the names of arabic artists whom I have their albums on mp3...
but mostly I like the turkish-persian melodies and arabic ofcourse

 

[obay bringer of light]

yes, I like Fairoz alot specially in the morning, everybody listen to Fairoz in the morning with a cup of tea (I don't like coffe) you can realy start a good day listning to Fairoz
by the way I can paly some of her songs on my classic guitar

 

[LANTHWICK]

i smell lebanon in the area
yeap fairouz specialy in the morning .. but for some laughs ,any one that understands arabik , try listening to ziad rahbany ( fairouz's son ) great person indeed ...
i guess u guys got more knowledge in arabik singers than me ..damn,i missed so much stuff ..
yesterday ,when i was checkin my radio i found my self in an israelys radio frequency ,so i listened to some songs ( but they were in english )...

 

[siriusian]

The folkloric original of Norra El Norra is simply amazing! What a talent of OL to turn such a tune into a fine metallic number. Can Kobi (or someone) give more info about the origins of this track?

Besides, I am desperately looking for the original tracks that OL has covered so far, like Aldiar Al Mukadisa (The Holy Land Of Israel), Thee By The Father I Pray, Shir Hama'alot, El Meod Na'ala, Shir Hashirim, or A'salk. Could a member of OL or some Israeli friend who has any of them upload it to some server? I searhed them over the Internet and could not find a single .mp3 or whatever.

Thanks to everyone who would be helpful for this request. All is fully appreciated by me.

 

[obay bringer of light]

I want to bringe this again for the new friends that joined us after the tour.

 

[aka_Mastema]

gee.. i've heard of it, but never listened it myself..
though, my mom knew it.. She was shocked when she heard Norra El Norra. "this is something i know, it is changed though..!!"she said. and now, after she listened to a'salk and mabool and some other slower songs and seeing OL pics, she's like, "i loved them. they're great! they're very nice people.."
LOL

Ayse

 

[UnConscious]

not sure about the whole song but i'm sure i know a part from it. i had also opened a topic about it earlier. it's the part that begins with 1'51''. i also asked it to lots of people and nearly all of them agreed with me but none could remember a name

so probably it's not only from samra ya samra.

I downloaded that song when this thread was first posted. It enjoyed hearing the folk version. I even played the two versions back to back for a friend of mine, and he really thought the comparison was fun to behold.
