Arabic Songs


In preparation for my imminent pilgrimage to the Holy Land the study of the millennial language of that land is absorbing all of my spare time and energy for the past few months, hence the dearth of recent posts.  Here is one of my most recent major discoveries in this intense study of the Arab civilization: the huge and superb world (and largely unknown outside of the Arab world) of Arabic Songs. //www.melody4arab.com/en_index.htm is a website of many of the best Arab songs, free!  I'll add it to my side bar for my own frequent access.  Of course, the next problem will be finding the text of each song (Arabic with English) to conveniently follow along.
