Aicha
Here is something for your listening and comedic pleasure:

That first song "Aicha" has hypnotised me. Evidently, this acapella group from Penn State is covering a version done by the group Outlandish, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8krO7Q3vSyswhich is a kind of re-mix of the original French/Rai pop song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LFJY3tX9TE. The singer is Algerian, but the lyrics were written by a French Jew. Which is funny, because when I first heard the French version, the language made me think of the Song of Solomon. Here's something else,
the farther you get from the original, the less coherent the lyrics are. For example, the rap version says;
"She moves, she moves like a breeze"
This is from the French;
" I 'll go where your breeze leads me"
Song of Solomon:
"Whither thou goest, I would follow."
The first verse in English:
"So sweet, so beautiful.
Every day like a queen on her throne.
Don't nobody knows how she feels,
Aicha, Lady, one day you'll be real."
In French:
"As if I didn't exist
she passed me by
without a glance, -- "Queen of Sheba",
I said 'Aicha, take. It's all for you.'"
Is it me, or is Anglo-Saxon crap for love songs?
Anyway, this song is not under my skin because of the lyrics. It's the haunting, plaintive, heartbreak in the music. It's like slow sobbing in the key of D, opening up my heart chakra and reminding me that men are good for something.

Long time no hear! You did your homework on this! I’m not too sure that I like the song so much as the story behind it!
I was always wondering why the American Aicha is so different from the one The Algerian Khaled is singing about.
I love the music, the girl in the clip"the french one" is s graceful too.
merci.
Why don't you like the song, Bijan?
Nice to see you Foulla! I like the Algerienne video much better than the other. Because she's so pretty!
I guess Outland (the musicians) wanted to show the beauty of women wearing the hijab, kind of a tribute to decent women of the Muslim community in real life. Those young men, who are Dutch, BTW, are so serious and noble! I must not be worthy, though, because I would totally rather hang with Khalid!
Thanks for the comments, guys.
It's Thurdsay, 8:30PM NBC! Are you watching 30 Rock by any chance? ... Alex Baldwin...
