Zaki nassif biography of william hill

According to the American University of Beirut (AUB)’s website (https://bit.ly/3fQ7ff1), Mr. Zaki Nassif 1916-2004)’s “rich and vibrant musical heritage” included “1,100 songs and pieces of music belonging to various genres and styles. He may be considered the founder of a new Lebanese Arabic school of compositions, unique in a genre that combines words, music, orchestration and dance“.
One Mr. Nassif’s most influential songs was composed at the end of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). It is entitled “Raje’h Yit’Ammar Loubnan” [“Lebanon will be rebuilt again”]. It became a VERY famous song, even rivalling the Lebanese national anthem, imagine, as per his biography published on the AUB’s website (https://bit.ly/3fQ7). This song will be perhaps featured in future posts about Bambi’s birth country.
However, today, Bambi will focus on another melody. She will share with you a few interpretations, by some of Lebanon’s talented artists, of one of Mr. Nassif’s most beautiful songs. The latter is a love poem about a lover of flowers. Below you can find an English translation of the Arabic lyrics. Of note, the last video is musical only.
To conclude this musical post, may Mr.

Selected Works
Selected Works is a weekly (usually) newsletter by the Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa (Wellington, New Zealand) based freelance music journalist, broadcaster, copywriter and sometimes DJ Martyn Pepperell, aka Yours Truly.

The year is 2009. You just read an article about Joker in The Wire magazine. Tonight, you're going to Plastic People in Shoreditch to hear Benga DJ. Lately, you've been listening to the 5: Five Years of Hyperdub compilation album, the tracks by Ikonika are amazing. Tomorrow, you might leave some comments on Blackdown's Blogspot and upload a gallery of photos on Facebook. Life is good.
Last week, I spent a bit of time strolling down memory lane (or was it Gully Brook Lane?) and reflecting on some of the amazing “bass” focused electronic movement that came out of the UK in the mid-to-late 2000s. In the words of Mall Grab, I always liked grime, but it took me a bit longer to warm up to dubstep.
Two things that really helped get me over the line were A: the strain of ragga dubstep promoted
