Thank you immensely for this documentary. As an enthusiast of Arabic music and a non-Arabic speaker, I deeply appreciate the inclusion of English subtitles. I hope that more documentaries of this nature will be produced in the future, catering to a wider audience. Being a devoted fan of Warda, the impact of the "Bawadaak" song uniquely resonated with me after watching this. May Allah shower His mercy upon them and us. Ameen.
@@lolynoras-ss8qs no, he was much more than just a singer. He was an Egyptian singer, actor, conductor, businessman, music teacher and film producer. And when he died in London, women (and men) commited mass-suicide after his death. My grandma's friend's friend killed herself when he died, for example. And his state funeral was attended by more than a million people. You don't get it.
This was a great documentary! Always looking to add Arabic songs to my playlist and these will sure be in it. Knowing about the process of how these songs were created makes it more perfect and exhilarating to listen to! Thank you Aljazeera for this great documentary! 🙌🏽
Music flourished in the whole Islamic Golden Age. Al-Andalus was the musical capital of the world and not just in the 8th century. In bimaristans, music therapy was often practiced and not just in the 8th century and it continued to flourish long after it and flourised extemely in the early-to-mid 20th century; in Egypt, where I am from, you have many, many singers, composers, oud players, actors, etc, like Abdel Halim Hafez, Farid Al-Atrash, Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Asmahan, Layla Mourad, Riad El-Sonbati, Mohamed Al-Qasabgi and others and many belly dancers like Tahia Carioca, Naima Akef, Samia Gamal and others. In fact, Egyptian cinema was the 3rd largest in the world in the 50s. And music still flourishes in Egypt and in a lot of the Islamicate World. Islam's relationship with Islam is much, much more complicated than that. I recommend you read On Music and Singing - Fatwa by Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Not to mention that there are many expressions of Islam. For example, in Sufism music is used as a form of worship and as a tool to get closer to God. Whether it is haram or not in some expressions of Islam doesn't change the fact that music flourished extemely in the Islamicate World. Ziryab, who was a polymath, composer and poet, came from Baghdad to Al-Andalus where he composed a 24 nubas, a nuba is an hour-long suite of music. So each hour of the day has music playing. Yes, so music is playing 24 hours in Al-Andalus. They also played many other types of music. From Muwashahat to Zajal to improvise music which is central to Islamicate World music. Saif al-din al-Urmawi al-Baghdadi wrote Kitab al-Adwar fi al-Musiqa in the 13th century which is a treatise on the theory of music, including division of frets, ratio of intervals, consonance and dissonance, cycles, rhythmic and melodic modes, and the 5-string oud. Fun fact, he was spared by the Mongols when they sacked Baghdad because they loved his music. The bimaristans in the Islamicate World (proper hospitals for treatment, which the equivalent of didn't exist in Catholic Europe at the time) often had music therapy. And of course like I mentioned Sufis used music as a form of worship. If we go to the Ottoman Empire, music also played a very central role with Sultans composing and commissioning complex pieces.

No it is NOT. Only those fundamentalists see it that way. Muslim philosophers and music theorists like Al Kindi, Ziryab and Ishaq al-Mawsili , just to name a few, were the pioneers in music development. The Mid-Eastern oud (which was improved under Islamic rules) predates the guitar by millennia, and the guitar development was influenced by the Oud. By the way, if you must know, God/Allah himself is a musician, and a perfect one. You hear his melodies once you open your eyes in the morning! So how can he forbit it.?!

@@aasifazimabadi786 Whole World say - terrorism, jihad, blasphemous killing, beheading, forcefully conversions done by islamic extremists. So why u converted blame everytime Bjp 😂.
@@aryanrajput2778 The whole world, huh? This is the influence of the Dajjal system that some CIA agents get the front page of the newspaper.

I wish Congress party were more honest, or Aam Admi Party could do something with that election they won in Delhi a few years ago and expand to be some national kind of force; maybe then BJP would not have so much power in this year of 2022. It's sad how Hindutva ideology has taken over my beloved Hindustan, rather tragic. I love India very, very much, but maybe my parents were right to immigrate to Amreeka. Sometimes, however, I wish I could live in Bihar like they did... even in Modi's India. Nevertheless, the way things are going, I am afraid you people will do all those things in that list that you made, but it was not entirely your fault... it is ultimately a test from Allah. Also, those Arabs decided to support you guys because they cared about Laxmi devi more than their own Muslim brothers. Oh, well. That's life... Namaste.

The story of Enta Omri (Oum Kalsoum) would be a welcomed addition.
Please do more on Abdel Halim Hafez. Like a full documentary.
The most ever romantic singer , his real life reflects what he has sung, full of passion, emotions, love , depression and sadness

beautiful documentary, would be amazing to cover more stories of singers and composers.
My favorite Arab singer is Natasha Atlas. She has a voice that's hypnotizing and easy to listen to 😌👌💯
Baligh: dates Moroccan woman behind Warda's back
Warda: I'm divorcing you
Baligh: *shocked pikachu face*
Powerful ❤❤👏🏾👌
Nice 😊

The mother music of arab is oum kulthum
Meanwhile in indo: "MUSIC IS HARAAAM!!!"
This is in your imagination
Arabs are geniuses in music
Do you think these people are all that religious?

Please, one documentry make about islamic atrocities & religious fundamentalism :)
Al jazeera - 😥
Documentary about the terrorist Modi is needed
Just read history impartially , make comparisons and get to know which civilisation is the most merciful and which was the most brutal
Why does it feel like there is a band of BJP thugs in the comments section to every Al Jazeera video?

Awful music.
Because you have an awful taste without Arabic music your music wouldn't exist half of your instruments are of eastern origin
Your opinion is not important
Let's discuss why you think that. I think it is gorgeous and breathtaking music.
