hamza thes is man story i love hem every time

[melyazeid]

The president of Egypt anwar El Sadat was half nubian i kno wwhat your talking about. America is racist not Egyp we are Egyptian nubians but Egyptian first

[twobluehorses]

@melyazeid "American is racist." What a vile, ignorant, racist thing to write. I suppose you think Blacks are lazy, Asians inscrutible and dog-headed people live in the mountains of India? America is likely home to the most diverse population on the planet.  While there is the curse of ignorance about other cultures, as there is in other countries, people chose to live there by choice not because some warlord chased them across a border because their skin color or religion wasn't correct.

[sabaqat]

@twobluehorses of course the reason they are all able to live there is because their forefathers chased the indians away since in your words "their skin color" and "religion wasn't correct," killing millions through disease, starvation, forced marches, isolation from the land that fed them, and warfare. Unfortunately Americans don't seem to remember those who owned their land before. But other than that, sure, i agree that America is one of the least racist countries.

[twobluehorses]

@sabaqat Yes, a great evil but that was then & this is now & there are no warlords, no ethnic cleansing, tribal conflicts, religious wars & the rest of what prevents people from living peaceful lives. The people who "owned" the land before the whites took it from the people who were there before them & many of the whites were refugees from oppression in their homelands. BTW, I grew up among the Cheyanne, Lakota & Dineh & currently live on tribal.  They are as you would be, my brothers.

[sabaqat]

@twobluehorses ok

[melyazeid]

i am not really sure what dah is talking about Hamza el Din was an Egyptian Nubian and we all as nubian Egyptians live in harmony we are all the same we do not have this differential things that you guys talk about i am an gyptian and that is it.

[banjello]

I have been listening to Hamsas music since the late 70's/early 80's. The first time was in a music shop. I stopped still, to hear his voice and oud. He played with so much soul and heart. thank you, Hamsa~

[Alemayehu45]

I met MR. Hamza el Din when he appeared at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis. His was one of the first "World Music" albums I ever purchased... Electric Fetus, 1970/1971. RIP what a gift you left behind!

[omoogun473]

Thank you Ali!

[medhatnobaa]

Nubian civilization has changed the real name of Egypt, Nubia Egyptian civilization, and this is not possible, the capital nabata, and Kush are the foundation of civilization, it is alleged civilization of Egypt

[wildmantis1]

@medhatnobaa What do you mean?

[bongolow07]

Where could I get the rest of his music? I didn't want the song to end lol.

[edj403]

[Noughaal]

@Dah77 Sadly i agree with you Dah 77, i am a somali woman and am a student of Indigenous studies, incidentally the other day i asked of my academic friends why it is that Indigenous people of the world are so marginalized and why do they have to live on the fringes of these societies who have in essence stolen their lands--why are they so bent on destroying their languages and cultures. Because these are things when taken away leaves one stripped of the very identity and makes it easier to colon

[sabaqat]

@Dah77 So what about the millions killed in Rwanda and Congo? Are there other peoples in the world who are "surrounded by" enemies "who are so intent on pushing them to the margins of their existence..." oh i don't know, perhaps... palestinians, native americans, aboriginal australians... Nubians possibly have a better situation in Egypt and Sudan than African Americans or Native Americans have in the USA? You and your people, dah77, are not completely innocent of the sin of ethnic cleansing.

[Holiwuudh]

@Dah77 who the f u think ur to make such a statement. I bet ur not even an African

[leilatayeb]

@Dah77 That's baloney. Hamza was African and Arab, as are ALL North Africans. The "black" distinction is not useful. The marginalization of Nubian culture in Egypt is real and Hamza spent his life making this known. But he never thought his people to be "surrounded by Arabs intent on pushing them to the margins of existence." He was far too concerned with creating connections between people to be bothered with such a destructive narrative. Allah yar7amu.

[CrumpledSnotRag]

@Dah77

no doubt. but - and i don't know whether you'd call them "black africans" - let's not forget the bushmen of southern africa, the oldest people on earth, once all over africa, now pushed to the waste-fringes of stolen land, so that they and we are losing their and our link to original living, musical, and healing tradition. god bless THEM and god forgive us!

[sacsayhuaman1]

Simple but picturesque.Saying in short, good.

[TheKush2010]

A Wish takes its name from Hamza's longing to see a new Nubia created on the shores of Lake Nasser, the giant flood created by the Aswan High Dam. Like all of Hamza's music, it is a love letter to his home, and perhaps the most extensive realization of Hamza's vision of collaboration. In addition to solo oud and oud and voice pieces, A Wish features many of Hamza's friends, lending their distinctive voices to the music.

I never get tired of Hamza el din's music makings.

[DailyDivine87]

I wanted some traditional nubian music and bought his cd at khan el-khalili in cairo and didnt even realize how popular this guy is. This is one of my favorite songs on the cd but in general the whole album is rich and soulful. It sounds like the soul of Africa to me. Beautiful. :)

[kernelspy]

Yeah, what's the meaning of this song and what does the lyrics mean?

Awesome music.

[lsdmadman]

one of my favorite albums on this madly-ass spinning globe, praise allah or anybody else necessary

[mlowedan]

Do you know the name of the album that "wish" is recorded on? I suddenly need to have it urgently. What an enchanting artist Hamza El Din is.

[lsdmadman]

Wish is the name of the song and album but any Hamzage is divinity made audible for me

[mlowedan]

thanks, I'm going to purchase it immediately. I agree. I've been an avid fan of Middle Eastern music for years and wonder what took me so long to discover Hamza's magic.

[vautrinlarose]

this sounds absolutely stunning wish we understood the lyrics
