Thread: Oriental Songs with Ayoub in it? Not zar

Does anyone know any oriental songs with the ayoub rhythm in it? Not in a zar mode but in a faster tempo.
Thanks!

Arabian Dream from Oriental Fantasy vol. 10 Egyptian Love Affair has ayoub in it but there are other interesting rhythms too.

Zeina.

Sometimes the same song will use different rhythms for the same section depending on the mood of the musician who did the arrangement.

For example, the second instrumental segment of Nibtidi Mneen al-Hikaya (ie, the part that comes after Abdel Halim's first vocal) sometimes uses ayyoub for its second melody motif (which you can hear in the Jalilah Raqs Sharqi version of it), but it can also be played using walking maqsoum, as Mary Ellen Donald does on Gems of the Middle East.

The version of Habibi Ya Eini that appears on Amira Mor's CD uses ayyoub for the section where the vocalist sings "Yalla! Yalla, yalla!" but I've heard other arrangements of the song that use a different rhythm there.

I haven't listened to them but I think The Soul of Cairo has an ayoub section and also Layali Zaman by Setrak.

I think she means vol 5 -Stars of the Casino Opera. A gorgeous version.

Tamra Henna by Jalilah and also Nasma by Sayed Balaha.

"Loula el Malama" there is a nice version on Ahlem Jasmin
