Misirlou (Egyptian girl) Old Arabic version
by Maestro Clovis - Ya Amal
Lebanon 1948
This song has versions in many countries, with a melody that has endured longer than we can document through sound recordings and films. The tune has been passed down for generations among Greeks, Turks, Persians, and Arabs. The images serve to illustrate my personal associations with the music when I hear it-a collection of photos from various countries where the music resonates among the people. These photos do not represent the cultural contexts of the music's origin but are included as a form of artistic fantasy. Which version of "Misirlou" is your favorite?
Can't believe this became covered into one of the ultimate surfer songs!!!

I always thought the opening scale sounded a little middle-eastern. Makes perfectly good sence now.
It's called hejaz scale if you are interested
Mohab Alrouby is there more scales like it that I could look up and learn?
@@AdventuresThings well, arabic music mostly uses only 8 scales:
1)"Ajam" which is just the major western scale.
2)"nahawand" which is the minor scale.
3)"kurd" this is the frygian mode in western music.
4)"hejaz" the one used in this song.
These four are all playable on guitar or piano. the other four require quarter note intervals, they are called
5)"saba" very sad scale sounds like a mother crying her dead son.
6)"rast" don't know much about it.
7)"bayate" this one is considered to be the father of all arabic music scales.
8)"sekah" very dancing and full of soul.
These last four can be played on violin or any un-freted instrument.
Mohab Alrouby thank you very much for this. I love this sound and these scales will be fun to learn thank you again
Yeah I actually thought the same thing but this song is actually originally greek
The way sick dale adapted this to guitar was genius. RIP king of the surf guitar
It's amazing how beautiful a song is even if you don't understand the words.
A beautiful song transcends language. I don't speak Italian, or French, or German, but a beautiful operatic aria is beautiful just to hear the voice and the tones. A true opera buff has already learned the libretto by heart and know what is being sung and don't need to hear the exact words.
This is the saddest version of this song I have ever heard; I think his Egyptian girl rejected him. Great artwork and music video, thanks for posting,

BWV 1007
Che Gelida Manina
From WIKIPEDIA: "Misirlou" (Greek: Μισιρλού < Arabic: مصر Miṣr 'Egypt' < Turkish: Mısırlı 'Egyptian'[1]) is a traditional song from the Eastern Mediterranean region. The earliest known recording of the song is a 1927 Greek rebetiko composition influenced by Middle-Eastern music. Some people incorrectly believe that the earliest was a song by the legendary Egyptian composer Sayyed Darwish titled "Bint Misr" and sometimes written as "El-Masreya" (both of which mean "Egyptian girl" in Arabic); however, the Darwish song sounds
nothing like the song "Misirlou".
This is definitely is a lot older than Sayyed Darwish . The Greek Rebetiko is a treasure of Byzantine music(The ancient written middle eastern music of the great mathematicians and scientists who wrote a music treasure to the western world like Al-Farabi, IBn sina(Avicenna),Zuriab among others. The burning of the world's largest libraries Of Alexandria , Baghdad and Constantinople and Damascus a thousand years ago by the Moghuls (Genghis Khan and Hulagu) was one of world's greatest atrocities in history, nothing survived, especially music. But the Byzantine monasteries in Greece and Turkey kept many transcripts and oral music alive! So the Greek Rebetiko version is more likely the earlier recording of this haunting melody...but the origin of the music is more likely Arabic or Persian most likely Persian music!
You may listen to my version on piano with a middle eastern rhythm

Bint Misr 'Egyptian girl' or ya Amal is an arabic song composed by Sayed Darwish in 1916 . in 1927 there was a Greek rebetiko composition of this song influenced by Middle-Eastern music under the name "Misirlou". There are also traditional Arabic (belly dancing), Jewish (klezmer), Armenian and Turkish versions of the song.
The song gained worldwide popularity through Dick Dale's 1962 American surf rock version (he was of Lebanese descent from his father), originally titled "Miserlou", which popularized the song in Western popular culture.

Dick Dale loved this music and he loved it's hypnotic rhythms. He wanted to share it with the world and that's how this song became immortal. He brought a little bit of his home country, Lebanon, to the West.
I always hated Black Eyed Peas for "ripping off" Dick Dale and now IDK what to think, lol.
There's a difference between taking and old forgotten song and making a it into a modern version and blatantly ripping a song without changing it and adding disgusting prattling.
To be fair, Dick Dale was half Lebanese and learnt to play middle-eastern instruments as a kid. That very influence helped him develop his style and surf rock.
Dick Dale also literally gave it the same name. So it's not like he was hiding the cover
Still hate BEP and Love Dale’s version, nothing changed
Thanks to sampling in hip-hop culture, I get to learn about the original and the original of the original of songs.
I like all versions of the song, but THIS is my favourite!❤❤
Tq for this wonderful music .... really realy cool
For centuries, this magnificent song known in Greece and Turkey.... that is a Turkish world.(that mean is Egyptian) .... and now; Music and scene are from Istanbul; from Istanbul's Greek Musicians... Additionally thanks a lot @little pet for explanation (From WIKIPEDIA: "Misirlou" (Greek: Μισιρλού < Arabic: مصر Miṣr 'Egypt' < Turkish: Mısırlı 'Egyptian'[1]) is a traditional song from the Eastern Mediterranean region. The earliest known recording of the song is a 1927 Greek rebetiko composition influenced by Middle-Eastern music. Some people incorrectly believe that the earliest was a song by the legendary Egyptian composer Sayyed Darwish titled "Bint Misr" and sometimes written as "El-Masreya" (both of which mean "Egyptian girl" in Arabic); however, the Darwish song sounds
nothing like the song "Misirlou".)
That is true what you are saying. However, some people believe that the composers and musicians at that time of Sayed Darwish was working together and got influenced by each other when it comes to not only melodies, but also names, lyrics and ideas. Since Sayed Darwish was from Alexandria ( the upper Egypt), there was a lot of Greek and Turkish artists and musicians there as it is not far from Alexandria where they traveled a lot with boats. They played together and mixed music together a long time before they started to record anything. However, I dont think Sayyed Darwish made up the name, but the influence by "Egyptian girl" was from Egypt as they traveled to the borders as artists and got influenced by each other in many ways. Its very interesting. Lets leave it to our fantasy :D
In Carnatic music ( South Indian traditional music), this scale is very famous that kids to this date start their classes in this scale. It is called “Maya Malava Gowlai”. Ragam #15.
Even in classical Bengali music

Yes it's an original Greek song dating the 1873 from the thriving Greek community of Cairo speaking about a legendary girl from Egypt that the singer praised her exotic beauty and he want to still her from Africa!
I AGREE WITH YOU .i VISIT EGYPT MANY TIMES I SPOKE WITH VARIOUS PEOPLE ABOUT THIS SONG AND THEY ALL TOLD ME IS GREEK
Greek culture comes from Middle Eastern and African culture.
Can any Greek explain, if this song is originally Greek, how would the name be "Misirlou"? "Misirlou" means in Turkish "Egyptian", it is not in Greek, not in Arabic. If it was written in Greek its name sould be "Αιγύπτιος". In Turkish you call country name and add "lı" (pronounced "lou") for "from". Mısırlou is "Mısırlı" in Turkish. "Mısır" is the name of the country "Egypt" and "Mısırlı" means "Egyptian" in Turkish. Only Turks say "Misirlou" for "Egyptian" not Greeks, not Arabs or Jews.
@@alperkaraoguz song was likely cultivated during turkish rule of greece
@@alperkaraoguz Copied from another post:
The fact that the word misirlu is not greek doesnt mean that the song and the people that wrote it arent Greeks. Greeks were living for many years in parts of today's turkey ( for example Pontos, Kapadokia and in minor asia. Especially in Minor asia cities like smirni ( izmir) were Greek. Just mentioning in case u didnt know). But since 1914 Greeks were forced with the worst way ever to leave their homes because Kemal Ataturk said that we had to exchange population ( turks in Greece would go to turkey and Greeks in turkey would go to Greece). I dont want to analyze the way turks treated Greeks bcoz thats not the point of the comment. So many Greeks came to Greece and one of them who was living in minor asia composed this song. Its logic to use some words with ottoman heritage when you live near to them for so long. So , Greek composer ,Greek song with an ottoman word for a title.
Ι love this song!
Amazing.
Some of the pictures in this video are about the old Turkey, the end of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of the Republic of Turkey.
Yes, its me who putted the pictures in the video. Its just for fun, as I relate the song to the turks, greeks and arabs etc. Its just a amateur fantasy illustration from my side =) Enjoy

Desert shadows creep across purple sands.
Natives kneel in prayer by their caravans.
There, silhouetted under an eastern star
I see my long lost blossom of Shalimar.
Oooooo, Misirlou, you're the moon and sun, fairest one!
Old temple bells are calling across the sand

Read up, everyone. The original isn't the greek version, that's only the first ever recording of it. The song was around for many centuries before that, and although it's present on most of the mediterranean, it's roots have been determined as being arabic. So don't go spreading misinformation just because you misunderstood an article on Wikipedia.
baloney
I don't see where it explicitly states the roots are Arabic? Yes, it originates from Egypt or Asia Minor, but the Byzantines (Greeks) owned Egypt for quite a long time and Asia Minor for even longer. Then there's also the fact the Ottoman's (Turks) also owned Egypt (all be it from the 16th century onwards) and they've had a foothold in Asia minor since the 13th century. Whilst this obviously doesn't mean either of those civilisations produced the music, neither does it mean Arabic people produced the music. It's one of the many mysteries lost to time, so how about YOU either stop spreading disinformation or provide proof for your claims. Mine are obviously from Wikipedia, which I presume you've read.

Music is Math.
My first exposure to this tune was through Agent Orange in 1982.
I believe the tune of this song was first ever song to be performed in ancient Egypt. It is a evereverst song recorded on papyrus for an Egyptian string instrument seen on ancient paintings in tombs and palaces. It was performed with singing . The name i do not know. But it is sung very slow with different arrangement. However i can still tell it is this song.
Jelica, you are music to my ears! I am now in my 70's, and as a child I remember my grandfather (born c1880) humming this tune, which he was taught by his Grandmother. He told me it went back to old Smyrenia and back beyond that to ancient days, possibly Babelonian empire, which fits in with your comment.
He was not happy when in the 1960's the Greeks tried to claim it for their very own from the 1920's period of resettlement.
absolutely non senses....sorry.
