Amr Diab is definitely not it and he doesn't sound close to what i am looking for. Assi Al Hallani voice is probably close to his voice and his music too like the first one.

The more I listen to the songs that you told me and more I've listened on youtube. This song doesn't sound alike. This song sounds like an different type of arabic song not like i would say arabic pop music. It's more classical I would say. Yeah I would say its like the arabic classical music. WOW this is becoming difficult to find. lol

It is a tricky one, that's for sure! I think I am grasping at straws but I am trying exhaust my knowledge of Assi!
Assi - Aah Mennak

From the description it's definitely a dabke song, if it starts out with no music he's probably singing a mawwal before the song [dabke] begins.. So we can come to one conclusion.. it's not an Egyptian artist lol

What about WAEL KFOURY ?
His music sounds sometimes classical, he has a deep voice and often the Dawul drums used for dabke.

MAybe its worth a try.

Dabke is a folk dance from the Levant region of the middle east i.e syria,jordan,palestine and Lebnon. There is strong emphasis in the drum beat and rhythm.

mawwal well this i cant really explain but it's very traditional genre and basically when the first part of the song sung in a like accapella but the words are very slow and the singer holds a looong tune on certain notes.it's always done in the entrance of the song you also often here in the beging Ya layali (oh night) or ya ammar (oh moon) in the begining something like that, mainly lebanese singers sing and many use to during the 1990s than they do now.

so anyone please feel free to correct me if need to

well i think you should ask your friend who gave you that CD

I think you are spot on in your description fishcakes!

This is certainly a tough song to crack! It sounds like a dabke song but I cant think of any that start with 'Ya Allah'!

Was it a live song or recorded in a studio?

While we are all in a very hel;pful mode here can anyone hepl me find a song i only know some of the chorus (wad e zein wad e zeina) then it also says (helow aroosty) if someone has any iudeas please tell me wand try to send me a link thanks

i dont know if this might help but by any chance did you hear the words galbi or albi in the song? it's the same meaning but it could help narrow done the dialect or region were looking for
