Hi, at university I saw Parvez Sharma's documentary "A Jihad for Love" today ... so there was this very nice Arabic song with a female singing it ... lucky me found the documentary on Youtube, so here's the sample of the part you can hear in the movie:

At first I wanted to extract the little audio clip but it didn't work,
so the song is here at around 4.50

Any idea what this song is called?

dear steena i searched for u so long ..
but i discover that is not famous song at all
and i think its kind of clubs girl songs that still not recorded
or something

sorry `cause i cant help u to find it
maybe another member can find it for u ..

Thanks for your effort Maviii dear! I still hope that someone else knows, I like this song and would like to own a complete version if possible. The other song which was played (the instrumental part of an Indian song) exists ... I wish this one would exist as well.

Hi Steena, listening to the music I find the style is close to Rai Music which has its origin in Algeria (Tunesia and Morocco); as the film is about arabic people in france I think I could by right. ARTE often shows films about this theme.

I think Larosa could help you, but she cannot watch youtube for some political reason.

Another idea.... you contact ARTE and as when they are going to show the film againg (Wiederholung) and you have a look at the end (Abspann) as ARTE shows it fully and so can see the music track list.

Sorry I cannot help you any further :-(

Tahira

Hi Tahira Thanks for your help, the song was not stated in the credits ... it's not ARTE's movie rather Parvez's ... they just broadcasted it, I don't think they will be able to help.

... and @larosa: if you want to help and have trouble viewing the video, I can send you a file via file sharing

i tried to figure the song you requested Steena but i couldn't unfortunately
i even google them but useless...

all i can tell you from the accent that it's something like Sudan may be North African Arab countries...as Maviii said

sorry again

Hi Oriee, thanks for trying I thought it would be quite easy to get the song's name when you know the language ... the guy introduced in this part of the documentary comes from Egypt so it makes sense that it's music from around that area

LOL it is a famous song, it's Natacha Atlas Who is singing

this is the lyrics for the song
ya habibi ana mosh fadiya lak, wo la fadiya li l gharam
hafdo badin a'gui lek, ana lly mak kallam
(repeat)

bridge:

Doesn't sound at all like the song I am searching for ... do you have a sample where it sounds like the song?

*yay* Thanks a lot vampy and pinar! Now I can listen to it all day Thank you!

you are welcome steena and thanks to vampy too for identifying the song!

Anytime...

I feel so ashamed.....I have this CD from Natacha Atlas and I have the song and I didn´t recognize it..... How could that happen????

But in the youtube-Video is it really Natach Atlas singing? I doubt as it is a different voice.

No matter it is the song. Enjoy it Steena - and thank you from vampy from my side, too.
