Thank you in advance for anyone that can help with this slightly ambiguous request...

I'm looking for audio from two arabic folk songs:

** One I think is called "Ta7ta Teena" .... and it starts out "Wa3atina Ta7ta Teena oo ma gayteena"

** the other I dont know the name of but has the famous "Koo Koo" sound in it...

thanks again...

can you give more details on the first one.??
Is it a dabka ? any other words?

the second one i beleive your refering to is probably:
El helwa di.
its an egyptian song composed by Sayed Darwish.
there is a famous version sang by Dina.

The first one "Yissaid Rab al Shabab, wa Hawahooum" I have several versions of it I can post when I get home

The second sounds like al Hilwa Diwa by Sayid Darweesh. "al Hilwa Di, amit ta3gin fil fagaria, wil deek bi'yidal kooko kooko"? IF this is it, then again, I will post the sound file later . .

Just give me 1-2 days, and maybe a friendly reminder after 2 days
