Thread: Looking for this version of "Ana fi intizarak"

I am desperately trying to find (buy or download) this version of Oum Kholthoum's amazing "Ana Fi Intizarak". Does anyone know which CD or album or artist it comes from? I've already searched on iTunes but the versions there are different and slower.

I am looking for the version found on this link:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Goldie..g.:

I think that is off one of Asena's Cds and isn't actually titled Ana Fintizarak. I think (because people have no imgination these days) it's also on one of the BDSS Cds . . . .hang on.

Right in my media player library it is on BDSS: Babelesque. In my library I have called it Ana Fintizarek but I suspect it might be called something else on the CD.

But Babelesque should be easy to get hold of.

Thanks a lot Zafira. u're awesome. I will try the Babelesque CD.

Many thanks:)

^^ Isn't it odd that it is called Asena by Asena?! I just played the CD and flicked through the tunes and there it was...how strange....why on earth would they not call it the correct name?!

Yes, it is verh annoying that they don't call it by its original title! It's so weird! iTunes does not have "Balesque" for downloading!!!! I suppose I have to buy the entire cd from amazon or somewhere.... Can one download music from Youtube?

That version is also on an album called Golden Oriental. The track title is "Anna Fintizarak".

which exactly Asena CD it is on? I have two Asena's CDs and nothing there...

It's an interesting version. I kind of like it as it's very dynamic and danceable but it barely resembles the original version other than the melody. The original is much softer and yearning.

As far as naming things by different names I find that very annoying. It happens all the time. Sometimes the CD producer will use the English translation but if I know a song by the Arabic name I expect to see it listed by that name and then maybe the English name in paranthesis. But often I've noticed that a producer will take a song and name it after the dancer on the CD. I think sometimes it is an honest omission in that this song is out there that no one knows the name of. But in this case Ana Fintazarik is a famous song. If this arrangement was for Asena, it would make more sense to name it after her. But I dont know the history behind this version.

My version is off Belly Dance Asawer, I love this version, I'm teaching it at Desert Dance Festival this year, can't wait!!

Maybe they change the name so they can get out of paying royalties. That's my guess.

Yeah, it's on the cd by Asena called Asena.
