Women in trousers is outrageous enough, but smoking too! Whatever next!
Quick question about her singing - sorry, I don't know the technical words for it, but she goes into a different style at 6:25 ~ 7:25 - so beautiful -
and for that minute, what does she sing? What words? Seems to me to be not many words, very few. I ask because I would love to sing, but I don't speak
Arabic or anything like that. But if there is singing with such few words, that makes it a lot simpler to learn, linguistically at least. Is that a
common style? Or would they ever just sing "Allah Allah Allah" for example, or something repetitive like that, but going into nice melodies as she
does?
Thank you
Justin

All of the above (and she is singing in Greek). Sometimes they are singing a phrase, sometimes just a word or two to express emotion and allow for
vocal improvisation.
In this case she is just singing: "Ah, aman, aman"
Aman means mercy in Turkish, which has come into Greek as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed the music.
