In Englisch:

Are these two moons or your eyes?
My heart asks about you
You see me thinking about you
Maybe I am in love
I swear this was not on my mind
Oh love
From the love
Oh love
It is filling my nights
Oh my life
All my life
I have given myself to her
And her eyes have told me something
I am becoming infatuated with you my precious
And me
What has happened to me?



Wissenswertes über AMR DIAB:


AMR DIAB ist nicht nur "the by far best sold seller" von arabischsprachiger Popmusik, sondern auch der einzige Sänger, der 3 (!) mal den WORLD MUSIC AWARD bekam!

Allgemeinwissen zu AMR DIAB:

AMR Abdel Basset Abdel Azeez DIAB, geb 1961 in Port Said/ Ägypten :

Kein Wunder, hat er doch mit dem Plattenlabel ROTANA RECORDS - das dem Prinzen Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, einem der reichsten Multi-Multi-Milliardäre der Welt gehört - den höchst dotierten Platten-Vertrag abgeschlossen, der jemals im Nahen Osten gemacht wurde (ca. 20 Mio. US-$ für die nächsten 3 Jahre bis 2010). Er ist damit d e r derzeit am höchsten bezahlte Sänger der arabischsprachigen Musik!


Ich habe sehr viele Musik CDs mit arabischsprachiger Musik, sowohl traditionelle arabischsprachige Musik (z.B. die "all-time" BIG 5 der traditionellen arabischen Musik, wie Fairouz, Oum Khaltoum, Farid Al Attrach, Abdel Halim Hafez, Abdel Wahab), als auch sehr viel arabische Pop-Musik.


AMR DIAB gehört zu meinen Lieblings-CDs. Was macht ihn so herausragend gegenüber anderen Sängern/Sängerinnen der arabischsprachigen Musik?


Wissenswertes über Amr Diab's Karriere:
... "MAYAAL" machte ihn 1988 berühmt im Nahen Osten. "Mayaal" gilt noch heute als sein bestes Album, und sein bester Song.

Danach folgten weitere Erfolge: "Shawakkna", "Matkhafesh", und "Weylomony".

In 1996 landete er einen Riesenhit mit dem Album "Nour el Ein" mit dem Song "Habibi", der ein Welthit wurde!

Seine größten Hits: Awedoni, Nour el Ain, Amarain, Tamally Ma'ak, Aktar Wahed, Allem Albi, Leily Nahary, Kammel Kalamak , El Leila De.


Amr Diab ist der einzige arabische Sänger, der 3 (!) mal den "World Music Award" bekam!!

......... A portrait:

Amr Diab was born in Port Said, Egypt into an artistic family. His father, Abdul Basset Diab, worked for the Suez Canal Corporation where he was chairman of Marine Construction & Shipbuilding. He possessed a fine singing voice and encouraged the young Amr to sing.

One evening, when Amr was just 6 years old, his father took him to the July 23rd Festival at Port Said There they visited the local broadcasting station and Amr made his first singing appearance on Egyptian Radio performing the National Anthem "Biladi, Biladi". He was praised by the Governor of Port Said who awarded him with a guitar as a prize.

In due course Amr began his musical studies at the music faculty of the Cairo Academy of Art and from which he graduated in 1986. His first album "Ya Tareeq" followed shortly. It was an instant success. There have been, since then, a further 16 top selling albums in a prolific recording career which has established him as the super-star of the Arab world.

Amr has toured widely throughout his career organizing galas and performing concerts in countries as far flung as Australia, Canada, Europe & the USA.

In 1990 Amr was chosen to represent Egypt at the 5th Tournament of African Sports where he sang in English and French as well as Arabic. This concert was televised by satellite throughout the Arab world and highlighted on CNN. He became the first Arab artist to make a video clip and in a parallel career, has acted in several films including "Dhahk We La'ab" (Laughter & Fun), a film which opened the Egyptian Film Festival in 1993. In this film, directed by Tarek Al Telmasani, Amr played opposite the world famous Egyptian actor Omar Sharif. In the film "Ice Cream" directed by Khairi Bishara, Amr played the role of the main hero.

The singer has already been the subject of three biographies - Amr Diab, the owner of my heart, The Rebellious and Amr Diab, Star of the 20th Century. His nickname is Rebellious - due, it is said, to comparisons made with his contemporaries, in all aspects of life - his clothes, hairstyling, the performance and execution of his music, the melodies he composes and his many appearances at parties.

Amr became known for the new 'style' of his music which the Arabs came to call "Mediterranean Music" referring to its blend of Western and Arabic rhythms. He was named, by most satellite and TV stations, as the Best Singer in the Arab World throughout the nineties and continually sets new Arabic sales records with successive album releases.

1996 saw the release of the Alam El Phan produced album "Nour El Ain" ("Mind's Eye") which was a tremendous success not only in the Middle East but throughout the entire world. The title track, and its English version "Habibe", was an international phenomenon, becoming a massive crossover hit in countries as far afield as India, Argentina, Chile, France and South Africa. The song was remixed by several top European remixers and has become a big pull on the dance floors of Europe. The video clip, also produced by Alam El Phan for the song "Nour El Ain", was one of the most lavish and expensive productions in the field of Arab song, and set a new standard for his contemporaries to aspire to. "Nour El Ain" has become the best selling album ever released by an Arabic artist.

In 1997 Amr Diab won three Awards at the Annual Arabic Festival (for Best Video, Best Song and Artist of the Year).

In the following year, he received a Triple Platinum Award for the sales of "Nour El Ain", and received the Worldwide Music Award in Monaco on 6 May 1998, under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco, and attended by such International luminaires as Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, The Backstreet Boys, Stevan Segal and many more. This award was the first of its kind for an Arabic artist, emphasising that his appeal is not just confined to the Middle East unlike the majority of his contemporaries.

His follow-up studio album entitled "Awedony" was released in July 1998, and as for "Nour El Ain" it was produced with Hamid El Shary and recorded in Cairo, Egypt. The first video from the album, the title track "Awedony", was shot by the river Nile in Egypt and directed by Tareq Al Aryan. Like its predecessor this album was a huge success for Amr and reinforced his popularity in the Arab world and abroad.

The "Best of Amr Diab" released in early 1999 contained a brand new song "Maham Kibirt Sugheir" recorded as a tribute to the Legends of Arabic music such as Omm Kolsoum, Abdel Halim Hafez and Mohammed Abdul Wahab that have influenced him. A strong ballad with a spectacular video of the concert footage inspired by Puff Daddy (who he met at the Monaco Awards) it became another big hit for Amr. The album also contains a previously unreleased European remix of Habibe, and the most popular songs from Amr's albums of the 1990s.

July 1999 sees the release of Amr's new studio album "Amarain", already hailed as the best work of his career to date and including the eagerly anticipated duets with the France based international Rai superstar, Khaled of "Didi" fame, and with the Greek diva, Angela Dimitrou, whose crossover smash "Marguerites" was a huge hit across the Middle East in 1998. The title track Amarain is the first video to be broadcast and the album seems certain to confirm Amr's position as the leading and most innovative artist from the Middle East.

Next came Tamally Ma3ak, which was released on 17th of July 2000, and achieved a high level of popularity and success. The title track's video, tamally ma3ak, which was shot in Czech republic, was considered one of the best videos for Amr Diab. Again he appeared with a new look and a new style!

Dance Floor (9. Januar 2003)

Offensichtlich ist die Musikrichtung Arabisch/Spanisch im Kommen. Diese CD ist ein typisches Beispiel dafür. Amr Diab schafft es, einen Musikstil zu etablieren, den man als "Mediterranean Style" bezeichnet. Was diese Musikrichtung auszeichnet ist, dass die Melodien soweit an das westliche Empfinden angepasst sind, dass der westliche Hörer keine Probleme hat, sich einzuhören. Wer die Gypsi Kings oder Shakira mag, wird sich bei Amr Diab leicht einhören. Gut für Partys geeignet.

the very very very best of Amr Diab (6. August 2002)

Der Titel passt wie die Faust auf's Auge. Klasse Lieder, auch wenn ich Wala Ala Balou vermisse, das eindeutig in die Kategorie "best of" gehoert.

Kein Lied ein Fehlgriff - super!
