I had heard of her name before, but I never listened to her songs. But after listening to this one, I did listen to some of her other ones too. Her voice is so nice and sweet :h:

And haha, that should be good but I'm assuming she would be quite expensive to book because she's really famous in Arab countries.Yeah, I saw the subtitles on one of her live perfomances in Dubai. It looked fun because everyone there was singing along too.

Btw, is what she was wearing the dress for women in rural areas of the Levant?


Honestly,she's so worth it and so talented. I love her work ethic too and dedication <3

Not necessarily but you probably do get ladies who dress like that in rural villages,they tend to cover up a lot more! Looks cute on her! I'm more of a city girl

Dutch/Afrikaans electro is too catchy for its own good.

As catchy as the videos are weird. But in a good way. Sometimes...

But in answer to the OP, various different Bhangra songs, especially this one:

But all things considered, this is my favourite:

Cool!
My parents wanted to go on holiday to Syria before the war broke out. It's sad to see that happen to such beautiful countries :frown:

Zeitlupe, by a small band called Northern Lights. It's German - the lead singer, Jonas Nay, was lead actor in a German/English series shown here in the UK called Deutschland 83. He's got a beautiful voice but I can't understand a word. I'm inspired to learn German, now, though

@Optimum_ and @dylansingh99 Maître Gims is almost systematically hated in France (because damn Bella has some strongly dumb lyrics tbh) but it's too good to see ppl actually listening to his songs without being a judgmental robot. So cheers to you and get an ear to Nekfeu (Princesse - égérie)
