Raks as it's called, or more precisely in Egypt 'raks baladi': popular dance.<br />Belly-dance is a moniker that has been given to raks (رقص) by eastoxified westerners in the 30's. <br /><br />Samir Srour (Arabic: سمير سرور - Sameer Serour), was not just a good saxophonist: he's the first one to make this brass wind instrument popular around the Arab world. His much-deserved nickname in Cairo was Ashik Essax ('Sax Lover'), playing it in quart-tunes in what's referred to as 'Sax Sharki'. Most importantly, Samir was part and parcel of Abdel-Halim Hafez' band called 'El-Ferqa El-Masseyah' (The Diamante Band). Samir influenced other later generation of sax-players like Shadi Jamal, Hani Nabil.<br /><br />All his albums are on CD now and they're downloadable from the following RS links:<br />-Vol. 1 http://rapidshare.com/files/22967368/Ashek_El_Sax-Vol.1.rar<br />-Vol. 2 http://rapidshare.com/files/22970333/Ashek_El_Sax-Vol.2.rar<br />-Vol. 3 http://rapidshare.com/files/23023759/Ashek_El_Sax-Vol.3.rar<br />-Vol. 4 http://rapidshare.com/files/23026090/Ashek_El_Sax-Vol.4.rar<br />-Vol. 5 http://rapidshare.com/files/23678791/Ashek_El_Sax-Vol_5.zip<br />-Vol. 6 http://rapidshare.com/files/25348339/Ala_Wahda_Wa_Nos_Ya_Ashek_el_Sax.rar<br /><br />Winjoy these DLs 'fore RapidShare gets the M-U treatment, guys.<br /><br />And, yeah anytime, Mr. Tear: Your blog is damn good.<br /><br />Dig, bro.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041890406822353257.post-40777807039447507442012-04-12T22:55:47.332+01:002012-04-12T22:55:47.332+01:00Hi Hammer,

Its great stuff, I really like the fluid energy.

He made 6 cassettes of saxophone chaabi and classical Egyptian music. He died in 2003 (born 26th, April 1933). Note: He was a black Arab.<br /><br />Farouq Salameh: Was an accordionist who started playing with Abdel-Wahab and was credited to being the first Arab player of the accordion to play in a quarter-tone (Arabic meter), and was the first to add this instrument to the tacht. His brother Jamal Salameh was a popular Chaabi singer. Farouq's best chaabi tune is Salamteha Umm-Hasan which chaabi singer Ahmad Adaweih (أحمد عدوية) sang and made popular in the 70's. Salameh wrote music for most Egyptian musicians (Mayada El-Henawwi, Fatma Eid, Mohammed Tharwat, Aydah El-Shaa'r, Layla Nazmi, Sharifa Fadel, plus some Lebanese ones (Sabah, Walid Tawfic, Maya Yezbeck, Najah Sallam, Hiyam Temheh...), along half a dozen film and musical-play scores (Harat El-Awalem is his best and was a popular T.V. series that aired in the mid-80's).<br /><br />This is a pure belly-dance music record, and has some of the most popular belly-dancing tunes in Egypt. I guess it's from somewhere around the early 80's. My best shot is 1980.<br /><br />Dig.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.com
