It's music taken from a Sha'abi film, and the singer is Rico/Riko. Dandesh used this music for workshops a few years ago, but I only found out this information earlier in the year when Mohammed el Hosseiny used the same music (different edit) in a workshop. I asked him about the music and he said it's not commercially available at all, and the version he used was basically edited from the film.

I got him to write down the name of the film in Arabic for me so I can get it on dvd next time I'm in Cairo! But I couldn't tell you what it says!

ETA- Oh and it should be Ya Ali

Might you be referring to Ali Ya Ali, the ghetto shaabi song by Emad Barour?

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
