Thread: Share gorgeous versions of Enta Fein for Bellydance

My new favourite is Enta Fein (an Om Kalthoum piece, I believe ??) whose full name is Enta Fein Wa Houbbi Fein.

I'm looking for rich, dynamic, real instrument versions (good quality recordings) of this piece. The best I could find on the itunes store is by Mohamed Ali Ensemble on the album Music of the Diva Oum Kalthsoum. I have an awkwardly cut version from the new CD Beirut Nights.

I have a vision of Dina dancing to this that I saw a long time ago . . .

Thanks for sharing!

If we're talking about this one (Oum Kalthoum - Houb Eih[*]), you might also find it listed as "Hob eih" or some similar spelling variant. If you want to search in Arabic, the titles are انت فين والحب فين or حـب ايه.




Offhand, I don't know of any other instrumental versions for dancing, but there are some abbreviated vocal covers. George Wassouf has covered it, and Sara Farah took a shot at it when she was on "Star Academy." And then there's this version, which probably does not meet the criteria for "gorgeous"...

If you are talking about Hob Eh as Tourbeau had mentioned, then I have this version. I did not know how to upload the mp3 so I found this on youtube instead.

Try looking under Inta Fein.


I have a 5 minute version by Nour Mehanna of his Greatest Hits CD.
