Today, I thought I'd share a couple of fun world music videos.
The first, by the Iranian singer Googoosh, I blatantly stole from Tut-Tut's blog just because I really love it.
But hearing it reminded me of a song I liked when I lived in Morocco, by the singer Majida al-Roumi. Called "Al Kalemat," or "Words," I first heard it when I was working in a remote health clinic and I bought the cassette as soon as I got to a major market nearby. Be warned: It's a long song, and you can ignore the cheesy visuals in the video. Just listen to the music.
Enjoy!

Both very interesting and enjoyable. I think a person's taste in music is so important in defining who that person is. I want to know more about your stay in Morocco. I was there about 25 years ago and loved it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Thanks for some good music this early on a Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend!

(cheesy, all right but there's a cute shot at 2:21-2:27 on the Majida Al-Roumi vid - for a light and shadow kind of person)

Loved the music and the photo of Chelsea art...Got anymore?
ReplyDeleteI could introduce you to some from Latin America, if you like. I would love to learn more about the Iranian woman after reading the comments on U Tube.
