no more songs ,,merely music,,


















For the past few days, iam in amood not to listen to anything,,but merely pure music,,
even my usual favourite songs, are no more attracting my feelings nor my attention ,like it used to .
iam only and deeply into pure music.
just music, no more words or voices or screams.
,,time to let the music speak up

Omar khayrat,,the egyptian most sensitive and creative musician with his different style in playing piano in a unique manner known as omar khayrat's,
i never knew why i subconciously connect Omar khayrat with my love to alexnadria,,and sometimes with farouz

Fat7i salama,,,, another brilliant egyptian keyboarder
with his unique band ''sharkyat' ,,they play something i can call the very national egyptian jazz where you can enjoy listening to the international music introduced in avery native egyptian way,,where "kanoon" "nay",,and even "sagat",, are so evident and fused with the piano and guitar to give birth to a unique mix i dont know but when iam listening to fat7i salama's ,i feel like ,,itis something very decent something thatis really touching in avery impressive and sad way,, yet you canot help tapping your toes and sway while listening to his sharkyat.
and here is alink where you can watch his,,itis not abest one,, but the one i found available on the internet,,and i keep wondering why such abrillaint musician is not that well known here in his home egypt yet ,,the same way he is greatly appraciated abroa

another one is the turkish musician and ney master Omar faruk ,,
simply and perfectly intricate rhythms of turkish music are played in away that defines itself by being avery good music,, you can feel in his music something very thoughtful as if it was aphilosophical speech,, or acall for meditaion,, enough to mention that his most famous album title is titled " tree of patience"'
He says ,, i like to draw apicture with my music,,and he really does and more,
that doesnot mean that he plays tragical pieces with continous call for depression or something,,but all i can say that his music is very touching and very rich in rhythms and renewal of the tones .
and aslo to be mentioned that he is the one who created ""sisler" A dancing cheerful music .
and" shashkin'" the very commonly played music piece in most of the egyptian wedding parties in the past few years,where that music comes like afrank call for everyone there to stand up and dance ,,or at least cheer up,, but very few who know itis not egyptin music ,,but aturkish one by omar farouk tekbelik,and here is alink where you can listen to samples of his special music
and even asong like stairway to heaven , it has anew taste when led zeppelin ,with jimmy page,, jeff beck,,and eric clapton share to play about 7 minutes,of apure musical piece,, to create on of the greatest guitar solos ever .
the name of Zyad elra7bani, used to be mentioned second to Fayrouz, the lebanese and arabic most talented voice in the past 2500 years in my opinion.
for the past 3 days i canot help myself listening to ""mays el rym"" amusical piece of about 13 minutes ,by zyad elra7bani
his music is not that strong,,itis very gentle and kinda fragile yet smart and sensitive enough to wake up your feelings and make you in the mood zyad wants you be in.
from his album "abo 3ali",,,the most bothering thing, while listening to the music was knowing that it will end but ok you i can still repeat it again and spontaneouly keep listening and never bored.
listeing to "mays el rym" made me realize that iam asimple happy and innocent child
,,whisting and moving my head in afunny way to the right and left with the rhythm,,begad mays el rym di 3abkarya, esahl elmomtane3 .
