Thread: Need Recommendations for Some Hot Saidi Pop!

Thanks in advance!

- Leela

I'm LOVING Haifa's Ragab. It's got a nice steady Saidi beat.

Ya Hanady by Yousry Sharif (the pop artist, not the choreographer/teacher) is more deeply Saidi in feel, and loads of fun. There's a music video of it on Youtube, and also a video of Adishakti dancing to it that I love.

Nourhanne's Khallas Ya Aam on BDSS VII is jammin', if it's not already overused in your area. It's also on the one album she has on emusic.

I like Walid Toufic's Neqsim El Amar off of his Top Hits CD.

Thanks, guys! Keep 'em coming!

Leela, are you in my brain? After seeing Randa's saidi last weekend, I am dying to do a cheeky saidi number with a few of her moves. I am right here with you, looking for some hot saidi pop!

Yep, that's exactly what I'm planning right now! My students want to work on cane anyway, so it's a perfect opportunity.

I finally got a chance to listen to my BDSS Vol. VII CD. Almost every song on the CD is saidi. There is one baladi progression. There's only one song on the CD that sounds tribal.

The version of Tigi Neksem by Walid Toufic is different than the one on his top hits CD. I like both of them.

Nourhanne's song is hot too.

Tigi neksem el amar, I thought that was debke? Never mind, they're alike anyhow.
I think the hottest Tigi neksem el amar is the one now released by Dr. Samy Farag:

Technically it is debke but Lebanese debke is so interchangeable with Saidi,

The version in the video sounds like the one on the Top Hits CD. The version on BDSS is different. Sami Farag composed the song and Walid has come out with numerous versions of it. I think I've come across about 5 versions of him singing that song. It's like every few years he redoes it to make it modern for the times.

Hmm, these are OK, but I'm really looking for really Saidi-influenced pop, with mizmars and/or rebabas, and heavy Saidi beats. Nice songs, though - they led me to some other good discoveries!
