Do you know of any contemporary Arabic musicians?

“Mo’ Rockin’”, who play at the Moroccan pavilion in Walt Disney World’s Epcot. I am always impressed by their performance. And I still have no idea what is that instrument on the left.

Not sure if you just want a feel for the music, or are very concerned with the lyrics? Shakira has a very popular song Eyes Like Yours in English, Ojos Asi in Spanish, that has some Arabic in the chorus, and the music is middle eastern in sound. Here are the lyrics

Here is a video, but it is the Spanish version (Arabic still in the chorus).

Side note: she is Lebonese, so I am not sure how much the language might differ from mainstream Arabic? My knowledge of Arabic is very small.

I like Elissa who comes from Lebanon.

The song in the fifth element where they’re doing the taxi chase.

Ooh you should listen to Nancy ajram songs. She’s a lebanese singer and alot of her videos have english subtitles. Mustafa Amar and Ragheb Alama are also a popular arab singers.
and like @Jleslie said, Shakira’s Ojos Asi has a nice arabic feel:)

I like Tamner Hosny
That is all my friend listened to that I would just be in when he played it. He lives in Egypt.
