[Aneka60]

I love this song:)

[arkariansgirl]

beautiful! Beautiful lyrics! 

[encorelui2]

Quick question to those who a very familiar with Arabic music. Will Natacha's style be categorized as rai?

[encorelui2]

@suhayla11 Thanks Suhayla. It does sound quite a lot like rai though...comparatively to other Egyptian artists.

[zafadadynamic]

@encorelui2 wait, she's Egyptian?

[encorelui2]

@zafadadynamic Well not exactly...she is the true definition of citizen of the world (literally lol) I think she has Egyptian, Belgian, Moroccan, English, Persian heritage...

But as the others said above me...who gives a crap?! All that matters is she makes some goddam good music!!

[AudreyMN1]

@encorelui2 She considers herself as Egyptian and British.She could even be Chinease and Mexican, I would still love her voice:) As for the music itself,it is a post modern egyptian music with a mix of a world music, if we really need to describe it.For her background, she is not Moroccan or Persian, she lived in Belgium surrounded by a North African community.Traditional Moroccan music have a unique heritage, where Berber music is predominant, mixed with arabic, african and western sounds..

[zafadadynamic]

agreed

[encorelui2]

Damn Natacha Atlas always gives me a shiver with her voice! Crisp! Gotta love this woman!!

[NicuRobin]

lesh habibi lesh kidda wana bahebak

[velvet3103]

nice mandalas too

[SupernalOne]

2:50 - 3:04 is spine-tingling -- have you ever grieved, and finally lulled yourself into a state of frozen numbness by repeating to yourself "it's over, they're gone" - and then the unbearable realization breaks in on you again, and you are convulsed in a fresh paroxysm of horror & misery, an ecstacy of grief -- in an emotional nutshell, that's what Atlas does in this passage - pretty cathartic, if you respond to it in this way - nicely expressive

[FlorenciaVQ]

8 people have bad musical taste

[FISHMUSIC4U]

very spicy blend of music here - arabic, deep beat, disco trace, hip hop, very spicyyyyy

[MrDonmen]

arriba mexico

[llK3lll]

@MrDonmen hahaha  eso que??

[alienbaroque]

"Habibi, leish, habibi leish?"

[nazaxprime]

@alienbaroque My beloved, why, my closest friend, WHY!!??!?

I'm pretty sure thats what is being said, without looking at the lyrics in the description, but those help too I think.

If Habibi can mean anything (types of love) from, friend, family, soul-mate, to in certain context, It can mean someone I hold dear, or cherish.

As far as Leish or whatever it may be, I'm relying on the lyric hack at the top of the thread, so... /shrug

;P

Hope that helps friend.

नमस्ते

[alienbaroque]

@nazaxprime I know what she is saying; what I wrote is the anglicized phonetics of the refrain in Arabic: "Why, my (be)love(d), why?" In Arabic, Habibi comes from the word "love," and "habibi," is the address to a man, "my love," the masculine possessive. If she were a man speaking to woman, it would be "habibti," the possessive feminine.

[nazaxprime]

@alienbaroque I see. Thank you. ;D

[thetroytroycan]

@alienbaroque love when things are clarified concisely. problems in the world would vanish...if...

[Egemyo]

Delicious voice.

[IfUseekOliver]

Sex and the City Soundtrack!

[largelove70]

I'm listening.How can we not hear THIS ? people ?

[largelove70]

I  am becoming more and more all the time wanting to hear this song again. Nothing else will do.

[largelove70]

I am American and i think this sounds astonishing and totally captivating-addicting, I really like it and the timing change is subtle and perfect and just sends shivers down my spine

[ericmachiels]

good stuf

[florinutz]

what is it that attracts us from all over the world to such beautiful music in a foreign language?

[shaneslover]

it's the feeling ;)

[One4theworld]

This song is so sick.. I love it like O-M-G!

[romescafe]

Natacha Atlas is so beautiful and talented :)

[tunderlo]

Ilyen finom amikor veled vagyok!!!!

[MZITIZWHATITIZ]

like it

[Durandal1717]

Surprisingly for coming from an area of such temperance, this music's still a fuckin trip.

[kclabssor]

im guessing you are american and somewhat misguided......?

[Durandal1717]

Because, of course, if a song called Coexisting is about anything, it's being guided by the 'right' way.

[energia321]

MMMMMMM:)

[breathingincolor]

Middle East, Far East? Who gives a shit, music crosses all barriers, religious, cultural and otherwise.

[PSUIrishDave]

I was gonna agree with the question at first, cause I recognized several Orthodox Christian icons in there, but yeah, breathingincolor, you're right. Any way you slice it, all these cultures grew out from the same place anyway, so they're bound to share things with one another.

[depolarized]

the song is called coexisting so of course it'd have religious icons from a lot of religions y'all missed the point big time.

[rockgal1983]

great voice!

[88xina]

beautiful song

[breiannanw]

Dude why is there Tibetan and Chinese Buddhist art in here? Middle East is not Far East.

[boulanflo01]

c'est géniale...!!

[shrlynhll]

The music in itself conveys the meaning of the song. A wonderful expression of human feelings of bittersweet love.

[GiselleTussand]

simplemente genial

[SupernalOne]

2:51 - 3:04 always makes my hair stand on end -- the singer is in emotional torment , but finally becomes calm, spent, wrung out - and then the realization comes again, and she wails uncontrollably in a renewed frenzy of grief & pain - ah, the sorrows of the world...

a classic cut by Natacha

[gothexperiments]

natasha's music is so special... it is not common arab music. its a mix of voice, dark music, instrument variation, ethnic music.

[0Shams0]

@gothexperiments

Yes Natacha's music is so special, not common...you can say unique.

A perfect compromise between the East and the West...Dark but can be full of light and passion.

[ArtistIreland]

I like this. :)

[bhangrapplz]

Kwintesencja wszystkiego, co najlepsze, w muzyce arabskiej...

[genvieve25]

@tokmada - I'm not sure who you are, but I have met this magnificet artist.

Most americans, as I am, have not met this person, but as an artist she is trying to go beyond what her country allows - thats why I like her! Mother Earth News

[genvieve25]

@tokmada - I ve met Natasha Atlas in person. I understand her mission. It's not anti-American, it;'s anti- anyone who abuses women! That's her mission......
