[View \| Download]	Arab women singers -- dancing to "Misirlou" By FrankCoffman Video clips of popular Lebanese and Egyptian singers -- Myriam Fares, Sherine, Haifa Wehbe and Ruby -- dancing to the song "Misirlou" played by Dick Dale & his band. Dick Dale is a Lebanese-American whose birth name was Richard Mansour. Free mp3 download of this song: http://www.4shared.com/file/71411989/... In Greek, "Misirlou" means an "Egyptian girl." This song is an old Greek tune that was turned into a surf guitar hit by Dick Dale in the early 1960s. The origin of the melody is uncertain, but it may have derived from a Turkish or Arabic folk song. Dick Dale restyled it and played it "insanely fast" on electric guitar. How Dick Dale turned a Middle Eastern song into a surf guitar classic: http://www.america.gov/st/washfile-en... Here's a video of Dick Dale & The Del Tones playing "Misirlou" in 1963: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIU0RM... Here is Greek singer Anna Vissi belting out a stirring rendition of "Misirlou" at the Athens Olympics in 2004: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AURm7G... "Masr" is Arabic for "Egypt," which is the origin of the Greek word "Misirlou." According to one music writer, "The vaguely Middle Eastern sound of all surf music is directly attributable to Dale's Arabic ancestry; and Dale's brilliant rendition of Misirlou ensured that it would become the surf anthem. It's difficult to imagine a musical genre that was as shaped by one man as surf rock was by Dale." The lyrics to "Misirlou" translated from Greek: My Misirlou [Egyptian girl], your sweet glance It's lit a flame in my heart Ah, ya habibi, Ah, ya haleli [in Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night] Your lips are dripping honey, ah Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty Madness will overcome me, I can't take any more Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land My black-eyed, my wild Misirlou My life changes with one kiss Ah, ya habibi [my dear], one little kiss, ah from your sweet little lips, ah. ______________________________________ From the Wikipedia entry about the song "Misirlou": The song was rearranged as a solo instrumental guitar piece by Dick Dale in 1962. Dale was of partially Lebanese background, and often credited Armenian music as the inspiration for his guitar style. The tune has at times been mistakenly described as a Lebanese or Armenian folk song. The song's oriental melody has been so popular for so long that many people, from Morocco to Iran, sometimes claim it to be a folk song from their own country. The Greek word "Misirlou" refers specifically to a Muslim Egyptian woman (as opposed to a Christian girl); thus this song refers to a cross-faith, cross-race, relationship, a risqué subject at its time. The song was first performed by the Michalis Patrinos rebetiko band in Athens, Greece in 1927. The song's actual composer was never identified. The melody was most likely composed collaboratively by the group. Initially, the song was composed as a Greek zeibekiko dance, at a slower tempo and a different key than the orientalized performances that most are familiar with today. This was the style of the first known recording by Michalis Patrinos in Greece, circa 1930. In 1941, Nick Roubanis, a Greek-American music instructor released a jazz instrumental arrangement of the song, crediting himself as the composer. Since his claim was never legally challenged, he is still officially credited as the composer today worldwide, except in Greece where credit is variably given to either Roubanis or Patrinos. Roubanis is also credited with fine-tuning the key and the melody, giving it the oriental sound that it is associated with today. The Beach Boys recorded a Dale-inspired "Miserlou" for the 1963 album Surfin' USA, forever making "Miserlou" a staple of American pop culture.

[View \| Download]	Love Undercover 2: Love Mission - Part 1 By janechenana Love Undercover 2: Love Mission (新紮師妹２) Starring: Miriam Yeung, Daniel Wu, Raymond Wong, Sammy Leung, Chow Chung... Genres: Comedy Year 2003 Hong Kong Movies Dual Audio: Cantonese/Mandarin Version Subtitles Chinese/English When we last left Fong Lai-Kuen (Miriam Yeung), she had just solved the big case and won the love of her dashing would-be triad boyfriend Au Hoi-Man (Daniel Wu). Her supposedly superior law-enforcing skills earn her a ticket to bigger and better jobs, i.e. police negotiator and bomb squad member. Sadly, she fails at all the above jobs and is soon suspended from the force for her crappy policework, and probably her continuing whiny attitude. This makes Man exceptionally happy, because now he can have Kuen's silly, borderline annoying presence to himself 24-7. But the lure of law enforcement draws Kuen back. At the behest of Chung Sir (Hui Siu-Hung), Kuen helps with the protection of the visiting Princess of Puerto Risi, Tasha (model Coco Chiang). Chung was originally supposed to put her up in a fancy hotel, but he lost the expense money when he fell asleep on the MTR, thus requiring some sort of quick fix to the problem. The solution: use Kuen's house as the hotel, and Kuen's colleagues as employees, a tactic that creates about fifty jokes, but probably only ten funny ones. A low percentage of actual laughs should be expected when you steal plots from reruns of The Cosby Show.

[View \| Download]	Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata By RaynerJM Today monday 10 November 2008 we mourn the death of Miriam Makeba. Hamba Kahle Mama Africa! I was fortunate and very privileged to have had a chance to see her in concert in Holland just a few days ago, last wednesday evening in Tilburg and last friday in Amsterdam. She was at her very best and will be greatly missed. As a son of South Africans living in exile during the dark days of apartheid i grew up with her music. In this clip, which i first posted 2 years ago, Miriam Makeba sings her most famous song Pata Pata during a performance in the Dutch TV-studios in Hilversum, september 1979. Joining her on stage towards the end of the song is her granddaughter Zenzi. Zenzi's mother (the late Bongi Makeba) is one of the backing vocalists (in the blue dress).
