Okay! That makes sense! Biggest problem I've always had--in my job--always dealt mostly with males. Males talking to each other, etc. And because I'm American, only spoke to me in English. And songs. Which seem to mostly be sung like m to m. (Habibi instead of habibti?) Wonder why that is?
All the books to learn Arabic are all in classical or Egyptian dialect. I do find some things on the web now with Leb dialect, but Palestinian is almost impossible to find. Mostly, as a journalist, I've dealt with Palis. Here (near Tampa, Fl), we have a large Palestinian community. They are good people. Tayyib/Taybe.
YES!!!!
I love Ya Rab!!!
My very fav:
El Bent El Lebnaneye
Asr El Sho (?)
Lail Mbareh
Awlak
Danta Waheshny (means?)
Oh heck! there's nothing I've heard him sing I don't like!
****I just got a bunch of his songs on my computer!!!
I have now:
-kel el 2sayed = كل القصايد
but haven't been able to listen yet
I don't have these:
2aser el shaw2 =قصر الشوق
-khayef la trou7i (my fav.) = خايف لا تروحي
****I'm going to try and find them
And Tamar Hosny!!!! (Mashallah! Oh my!)
I just got a whole bunch of his songs!
Soutek - OMG!!!
Any recommends there?
Also Wael Khoury (hubba!) Don't kill me if he's your favorite, but I don't quite like his voice as well. But his youtube videos are nice to look at

Mostly I had listened to Ragheeb, Azar Habib etc when over there (1980s).
