In class this week we sing “Wala WaHed,” a bounding love song by Egyptian superstar Hakim. “Wala WaHed” is a song in the genre of Shaabi, which is described as music of the Egyptian working class. The song in this video is not that one. It is shaabi, and oh so catchy, but otherwise…the video is nuts. Okay, I don’t speak Arabic, so I don’t understand, but still, even if I could undersetand the song’s lyrics…how could this video not still be nuts?
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
