Greetings from Cairo people. Here's what's what over here right now. This is a song Shaaban Abdel Rahmin recorded a few years back called "Bin Laden." The lyrics are actually anti-bin Laden, he says I hate war and terrorism. But it's really catchy and I'm sure some producers could sample the part in the beginning when he sings call and response with a chorus of children, "binbinbinbinbin bin laden." http://download.yousendit.com/6C0646C71873AE5F His break out hit was "I hate Israel (but I love Amr Mousa)." Amr Mousa was Egypt's foreign minister. Shaaban sings Shabi music, which originated in Upper Egypt and incorporates these hand held snare drums called doff. The rhythm section usually has eight different doff players, plus a trumpet, an oud (twelve string variant of the guitar) and the nai, a small whistle flute. I have to say I'm kind of into it. I saw his live show. Here's a description I'm tinkering with for the piece. Casino Laile is the closest Cairo gets to Vegas. At first glance the scene looks like a wedding. There is a 16-piece band, a few guests on the dance floor and tables are stacked with trays of humous, kebabs and assorted mezza. But the likeness ends there. Seated around those tables, businessmen from the Gulf and local mafiosos drink tumblers of cheap whiskey and paw whores wrapped tight in fishnet, nylon and denim. When a singer or belly dancer is especially pleasing, it is customary to throw a wad of five pound notes in the air, creating the brief impression that it is snowing money. The club employs teenage boys to comb the floors for the excess cash. I am here to see Shaaban Abdel Rahim, whose life size image greets guests of the nightclub at the door. He???s one of the headliners. His latest hit, ???We are done with all patience??? was an anthem of Islamic rage in February when the local markets were emptying shelves of Danish butter cookies and pious terror consumed Lebanon, Iran and Syria in response to Jyland-Posten???s drawings of the prophet Mohammed. In his song, Shaaban asks, ???What is Denmark, world? Even the cow farmers, who are these people to slander the prophet???? He went on to tell the publishers and illustrators of the cartoons to go to hell where ???fire will be everywhere, eating up your faces.??? But before promising eternal damnation, Shaaban reminded listeners in the proceeding verse, ???Islam is a religion of amity, not oppression and terrorism.??? ???Amity??? and ???Islam??? are not the best words to describe one of the belly dancers that precede Shaaban at Laile, although her stage name, Fatima, is the same as Mohammed???s favorite wife. She undulates ample cleavage to the Khalijee rhythms pulsing from the bandstand, occasionally leaving the stage to shake her wares on the tables above ogling predators. To be sure, her belly is covered with a flesh colored stocking. Shaaban walks on the stage at 4:00 am in a three quarter length hot red coat with gold buttons that barely conceals his round torso. His shoes are a snakeskin affair in green, orange, red and white. His fleshy face is framed with loose wet curls in the jheri style. One wrist is adorned with a gold watch; the other with several gold bracelets. Over a red tee-shirt he wears two large gold medallions, making him one giant swatch watch away from completing a Flavor Flav costume. The businessmen look bored and Shaaban looks tired. But the prostitutes seem to like him. They join him on stage to shimmy and jiggle as he sings about the Koranic instruction to respect your mother. His next number is a lustful ballad about his desire to see his lover???s breasts and ass. The hoes like that one too. As he ambles through the audience, a few patrons throw a couple of bills in the air.
