Wow, I remember this song when I was 10! summer of 1983 when my aunt brought this tape back when she visited us. :bounce:

Anyone have these songs:

Douki Douki ya Rababa, and an Egyptian belly dance song that goes "Sha'alha Sha'alha"?

Just caught your forum. Karim Shukry is my uncle!

He left Cairo in the 60s and has been living in Montreal since then. Since being in Canada, he has had a successful career as a film distributor and producer.

Thanks for the kind words!

No way! I just heard the song. I have been looking for it since I returened from a trip there.

Eskandarani - 5-13-2007 at 06:03 AM

OH Dear Mike, You made the tears jump up from eyes, Thanks for sharing this song, I was looking for this song for almost 25 years !

Yours, Assem Eskandarani

Mike - 5-14-2007 at 04:38 PM

Hello Assem,
Glad to have helped my friend.
Enjoy,
Mike

Eskandarani - 6-12-2007 at 10:14 AM

Hello & Thanks Again Dear Mike, Yes It helped still & will apprecite your help for good brother, I wonder if your have any more songs or albums of Karim Shukry, I'm quite sure finding gold in Mojave Desert (I have been there!) is easier than finding Karim Shukry Songs/Albums, I recall some names of songs he sung like Mish Mish Bey, Oriental Flower, Samara

I really hope you have any of his work !?,
Best of luck to you and everyone here

Cheers, Assem

hi erinne,
you are very welcome. I think I bought this cd from the rashid music website. http://www.rashid.com. If you can't find it let me know.
best,
mike

I have been looking for this song for than 10 years. We have it on a cassette that lost its quality.

Thank you so much Mike's Oud for bringing back the old memories.

You have mad my day. :applause:

carpenter - 6-19-2008 at 11:19 AM

I like that a lot! I have a friend who has been teaching in Cairo for four years; he's returned to the US, coming by this weekend for some BBQ. I'll play this MP3 - sure to get a rise out of him. Thanks for the classic!

littlelark - 12-14-2008 at 02:46 AM
