@DAD,
i didn't know you liked Arabic music ?
OMG!
Bean, are you aware of what you just said?
If you said oriental I would have “passed” but Arabic!
If you have said songs I would have “passed” but music!
There are of course Arabic lyrics beyond your wildest dreams concerning rhythm and poetic expression but you must know the language to appreciate it.
There are of course oriental musical instruments but that was only in the past as Europe have included most of those instruments in their bands now.
My favourite singer in the exclusive ultimate sense is Sara Brightman of course and you should listen to her CD with the title “Harem”. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
But I do greatly appreciate Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli and Ricky Martin.
But then, there is Christina Aguilera and others of that style.
Finally, how can I forget The Gypsy Kings?
I have been to many countries and I speak several languages, hence I have the ability to taste and appreciate the global forms of art.
Or did you think that Arabs do not know how to sing?
Or did you think that the orient may not play music?
Allow me to open for you the door to hidden exquisite and fabulous arts that are created in the East.
This just reminds me that we have a lot of symphonic musical parties here in Japan, and the west should really be scared from having to exclusively listen to oriental musicians playing their western tunes in the far future if this pattern explodes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
