Alabina - Don´t let me be misunderstood..(Ishtar)

Alabina - Don´t let me be misunderstood - Ishtar - The Animals.
Alabina is a Arabic-based group that performs a mix of world music: Middle Eastern, Arabic, French,, and Spanish Gypsy music.
Although the name of the group is often written "Alabína," the accent on the "i" is an unnecessary addition. The mistake may be attributed to the group's use of the font Papyrus on its album covers. In this font, dotted i's look as though they carry accents.
According to Alabina.org, the name Alabina has two meanings: "come to me" and "God is between us." The name comes from the title of Alabina's first song. It is also the name of the group's first album.


Ishtar (singer)
Her parents are from Moroccan and Egyptian descent. She speaks and sings in Arabic, French, Spanish, and English; she also says she "half-speaks" "Moroccan." Ishtar began performing in clubs at age 15. She chose the name "Ishtar," a mesopotamian goddess, because her grandmother called her Ester, which "with her Egyptian accent it sounded like Ishtar," she said.

As the lead singer of Alabina, Ishtar frequently sings in Arabic, complementing the Spanish of Los Niños de Sara. She often sings Arabic-style, with a wavering voice and trilling. ).
Ishtar is frequently featured on Alabina album covers. She has dyed blond hair, which is sometimes curly, and dark brown eyes. She has been noted for her provocative dress in pictures and at concerts.

This song is NOT an animals original. they only made it popular. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus for the singer/pianist Nina Simone, who first recorded it in 1964. The animals didn't perform it until '65.

Darn, this isn't the Arabic version. I'm so used to that one that I like it over this. But this is still good. Just goes to show her many linguistic talents. ;)

@ealkass : Say, that's a great idea! I wonder if there are any producers here that could arrange such an event?

I like the male singer's voice. He has that raspy sound, or something, that gives the song a special "feel".
