Saw your Hiba Tawaji tweet this morning, made me smile :) Not sure if you’ll like them, but there are two singers, Lena Chamamyan and Tania Saleh, who have beautiful voices and have crossed the regular boundaries of Arabic music! Won’t let me post direct links to the songs, but a couple of good ones are Lezim by Tania and Baly Ma3ak by Lena! Enjoy :)

فرح

انا المراة الافتراضية في اوطان افتراضية بتاريخ افتراضي مجيد تخوض حروبا افتراضية بجيوش افتراضية على الانترنت ولكن لا ازال انشد امجاد يا عرب امجاد

-غادة السّمان

I am easy going, a free spirit, a good listener, critical, analytical, and observant but negligent, indifferent, aloof and clumsy, quiet but very sociable, young and an old soul at heart, detached and unemotional but sensitive, I am simple but complex.

I do not conform to anything that is the slightest bit 'the norm' or 'the dominant.' I am quick to question anything that is 'a given' or anything that appears to be a 'just because -' It is part of my analysis of the world. I am not pessimistic, just inquisitive and always on the quest for the multiple truths that make up the world.

Lena Chamamyan was probably one of the first people I started listening to once I got into Marcel Khalife, and Omaima Khalil. I love bali ma3ak, sham, and ya maylah :D
However, Tania not so much, she didn’t quite click for me
