Arabic Music Role.

AntiNationalist's Thought:
Arabic Music Role in Society.

The West has advanced in all fields of science and arts, while The Arabs have disadvanced in all the fields. Arabs love Arts so much, such as literacy, poetry, and music. Even though they love Arts so much, they are still way behind in it. The West has evolved Arts into many branches and forms. They have opened new fields of Arts. In the opposite site, The Arabs did not learn anything from all these developments from the West, instead they just simply copy it all, just like a copycat.

Especially Arabic Music, which is still stuck between modernization and traditional style. Arabs still stick to the romantic "I-love-you"- "احبك" -"My love"- "حبيبي" lyrical style of music. I've visited the popular Arabic music website, 6rb.com and tried to listen to some Arabic music from all parts of the Arabic world, Lebanon, Gulf, Algeria, Egypt...etc. I clearly noticed that 89% of the songs on the website includes love-related words. Words such as غرام. أحبك. حبيبي. حياتي. متشاق. عيون السود. Translation: [Black eyes, missing you, my life, my love, I love you, in love]. Most of these songs are big hit in The Arabic world. The Majority never gives a second thought about what they are listening to. They never try to question the lyrical contents of such songs, in fact they enjoy it and think they are beautiful. Some might wonder, in fact I do wonder and ask those singers out there "What do your music represent?", their answers would be long I am sure, because I've seen them once giving long explanations about some of their silly-written-lyrics on TV on some stupid Arabic Music TV shows. The answer to my question is simple, it is "Illusions" Yes indeed their music represent unreal world, very emotional world indeed. A world full of love and denial of reality we are living in.

The Arabic Music has no role to shape our society to better. Its only role is to make the Arab listeners more emotional and unrealistic. I believe Music should be used as a strong tool to deliver all kinds of messages to people. It should represent all the images of life from Sadness to Happiness, life to death, war to peace. A Music style that only presents our world in one image, one side, and one angle-view, of emotions should not be appreciated, should not be listened to, should have become so boring long time ago. Unfortunately, the opposite is happening in The Arab World, every day we see new singers on new Arabic music TV channels. 89% of them talk and sing about the same things over and over again. The West has used Music to inspire people, to collect money for donations, to brainwash people, to implant new cultural thought into people, to establish new societies, all for bad and good, but in the Arab World, it's been used over and over again for the purpose of "illusion" and "Romantic heaven of love and broken-hearted people".... I'll go now to listen to Abdullah Balkhar - Jana Alhawa men Zangibar عبدالله بلخير جانا الهواء من زنجبار....Good night Dear readers.
