Someone posted wanting to know what this song was on bhuz - a song I've long known and loved- but now I must know where I can get this recording of this song. I must have it!
Please if you know, or know somebody who knows, or know somebody who knows somebody who might know how I can get my hot little hands on a copy, please share. I will be eternally grateful.
Here is the bhuz posting and 2 youtube clips with the song. The name of the song is Al Toba, originally sung by Abdul Halim Hafez.
Pleeeeeeeaaassee :-O

Re: I'm on a quest, I must find this recording!
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 1:05 PMThis is the closest I can find. It doesn't seem to be the exact same cut, but it has the same feel (unlike the Abdel Halim Hafez version):

Thu, October 25, 2007 - 3:31 AMThank you.
I actually own the original already, plus several different versions and I have more than one translation, both general and word for word and I've memorized most of the lyrics to this song. I just didn't have a recording that is as dance-able as the one in the video. Yeah, sometimes I obsess about certain songs, don't ask me why. I'm checking out the Maqam link also. It sounds like, even if it isn't exactly the same one, it might have potential.
Latest I heard is that I could buy the CD from Randa, or from Little Egypt who sponsored Randa, so I think I'll be able to get it.

Thu, October 25, 2007 - 8:08 AMThe maqam link has a song that's a bit more James Bond/Mission Impossible sounding, but it's at least danceable. Hmm... Potential.... ;)
