Ha, Mom, you came at the worst possible time! But, don't worry, we're going back to the older music after this track
  8:23pm
David:

Gary, did you identify the singer in the photo?
After studying old photos I believe her to be نجاة الصغيره
Nagat who you played a while ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:24pm
Gary:

David, I wasn't sure ... it doesn't look like Nagat to me, but it also doesn't look like anyone else I might identify, either ... what leads you to believe it's here, btw? Maybe you're seeing something I'm not!
  8:25pm
Jill B.:

Yes, rap....not my thing. But.........
  8:33pm
David:

She's listed as Najat Al Saghira on Wikipedia..
check out the photo there. Anyway she and Shadia may still be alive
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:35pm
Gary:

Oh, cool -- I'll go check -- and yes, she's still with us!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
Gary:

Ah, that photo of her looks like the woman to the left, yes ... here is what she looks like on all of the CDs I have: ara.xoom.it...

David:

Nice! Do you have a favorite Arabic spot where you get music?
Avatar 🇰🇷 Swag For Life Member 8:44pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

How to articulate why this kind of Egyptian/Arabic Music speaks to me? I love the energetic rhythm - the powerful modal soul...
  8:44pm

Wull - I'm also a David...or should I say Dawud...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Gary:

It's amazing, I totally agree, RevRab ... and you know, I got asked a lot whether or not I speak Arabic when I bought a lot of this stuff ... which I don't, obviously. But some found it odd that you could really just connect with the music and not the lyrics

And I was born in '63 too ^-^

Glad we could help out, James! I have trouble editing while listening to WFMU ... sometimes I can do it, other times it's distracting and I need quiet
