لا أدري كيف أشكرك على هذه الأغاني والمعلومات القيمة التي ترفقها مع الأغاني ، وياريت تفعل ذات الشئ مع كل أغاني القبنجي . هل لديك أغنية نرجس الأخرى "ياحلو قلي شبدلك" هل غنتها عفيفة اسكندر أيضا؟ هل لديك أي معلومات عن حياة نرجس في العراق ومتى وأين توفت ؟
نرجس شوقي المطربة التي قدمت من مصر و غنت باللهجة العراقية بعراقية صميمة و قد اشتهرت في العراق و اعتبرها العراقيين واحدة من كبار مطرباته و هي جديرة بذلك ....

نرجس شوقي مطربة مصرية استقرت كالكثير من الفنانين العرب في بغداد اذ كانت الحركة الفنية قي كل اوجهها مزدهرة و كما سماها الموسيقار عبد الوهاب بلد الفن فالاسماء الكبيرة التي تربعت على اسم المقام العراقي و الاطوار الريفية و الاغنية البغدادية
أنا من كتر إعجابي بهذه الأغنية أريد أن أقدمها في حفلتي القادمة إن شاء الله هنا بأمريكا، في حفلة للموسيقى العربية. رغم إن إيقاع الجورجينة صعب علي كمصري مش متعود عليه لكن بالتمرين يجي. وعازف الإيقاع إللي معاي إيراني كردي عارف الجورجينة مثل أسمه
ولدت السيدة الفنانة فيروز في 21 نوفمبر 1935، ولدت في بلدة دبية في محافظة جبل لبنان، اشتهرت الفنانة فيروز من صغرها بالغناء في الحي وبين أفراد عائلتها، بدأت عملها الفني كمغنية كورس في الإذاعة اللبنانية، وكانت الانطلاقة الحقيقية للفنانة فيروز عام 1952 عندما بدأت بالغناء لعاصي الرحباني.
في 1955 تزوجت بعاصي وأنجبت معه أربعة أبناء وقد قدم الأخوين الرحباني مع فيروز المئات من الأغاني التي أحدثت ثورة في الأغنية العربية، وذلك لتميزها بقصر المدة وقوة المعنى على عكس الأغاني العربية السائدة في ذلك الحين والتي كانت تمتاز بالطول، كما إنها كانت بسيطة التعبير وفي عمق الفكرة الموسيقية وتنوع المواضيع، حيث غنت للحب والأطفال، وللقدس لتمسكها بالقضية الفلسطينية، وللحزن والفرح والوطن والأم، وقدم عدد كبير من هذه الأغاني ضمن مجموعة مسرحيات من تأليف وتلحين الأخوين رحباني وصل عددها إلى خمس عشرة مسرحية تنوعت مواضيعها بين نقد الحاكم والشعب وتمجيد البطولة والحب بشتى أنواعه.
لتظل الفنانة فيروز رغم مرور أكثر من نصف قرن منذ انطلاقة مسيرتها الفنية إحدى أساطير الغناء العربي التي سيبقى صوتها الملائكي رمزا للحب والنضال والحرية.
شام يا ذا السيف لم يغب يا كلام المجد في الكتب قبلك التاريخ في ظلمة بعدك أستولى على الشهب لي ربيع فيك خبأته ملئ دنيا قلبي التعب يوم عيناها بساط السما و الرماح السود في الهدب تلتوي خصراً فأومى إلى نغمة الناي ألا إتنحبي أنا في ظلك يا هدبها أحسب الأنجم في لعبي طابت الذكرى فمن راجع بي كما العود إلى الطرب شام أهلوك إذا هم على نوب قلبي على نوب أنا أحبابي شعري لهم مثلما سيفي و سيف أبي أنا صوتي منك يا بردى مثلما نبعك من سحبي ثلج حرمون غذانا معاً شمخاً كالعز في القبب و حد الدنيا غداّ جبل لاعب بالريح و الحقب
I made this piece in san francisco in year 2000. in year 2001 my 'industry' (I.T) 'crashed' .. my company went under . i lost my job on my birthday in june 2001. paradise lost .. the dream of freedom and dignity slipped again from my fingers .. that freedom i was only able to feel in the United States of America. I am serious. I felt a connection with the land and the people. I felt i am able to belong , and belong and belong. I was able to live my different identities . i was able to be an Arab , an artist , a woman, a geek , a Canadian even , I was able to be a better Canadian in the USA. I was able to wear my Palestinian Koufiyeh and my Jordanian shmagh without fear.. I was able to get involved and express myself as a citizen even though i wasnt even a US citizen! True I was living in a very special place , California is a special place. I was involved in politics without fear. I love that place! i had to leave. jobs were scarce after the hi-tech bubble burst .. and after 911 there was no chance on earth for me to get a job .. an Arab and not even an american , arab looking and with an accent .. not the perfect age or gender or skin color either .. no way.. i tried very hard.. but ..no way i couldnt afford it ... i realized my generous severance package will run out soon if i dont do something ... so much soul searching.. so much .. day and night battling with my fear barely any support i came up with the decision to go back to Canada! after all i am a Canadian citizen , this is my country too.. it is my country in a different and special way .. a country of choice. I jumped through hoops and loops to make it my country . I studied and passed. I went through rigorous examinations and had to live in freezing cold for years to earn my Canadian citizenship. i was drawn to Canada because of the reputation it has, the values it preaches . not because i was starving in my country. I thought it was a place where people have dignity and freedom and equality. and everyone has the same opportunity and respect. I wanted to live in canada because i wanted to live in a democracy and in peace and have opportunities and be able to help others in the world. That is why I chose Canada to be my new country. Living in the east wasnt bad. The culture in Montreal is awesome . there is racism but at least there is culture and passion and good food. but the weather is very cold! it's just frigging cold ! so so so cold ! no one can comprehend the intensity of this cold except people who live in it. the gas used to freeze in my car . i once cried from the cold. i made the mistake of taking off my mitten to try and open my car door , the lock was frozen , the exposure of my hand without the mitten for a few minutes made me cry , i felt my fingers will fall off ! it was so painful! no way would i go back! so cold! i decided to go back to school to become a film director ! i decided to move to Vancouver. and i didnt know anything about Vancouver. just that it's the closest biggest Canadian city, never been there and met maybe only 3 or 4 people from there in all the years i lived in Canada! I drove up all the way to vancouver. I slept in the car at night and drove during the light. I had a dream long before this happened. It was strange because I dont know much about vancouver, I never think of vancouver. It was sometime in 2000/2001 I was working in silicon valley totally enjoying the sun and the freedom and the opportunitues.. i had a dream one day , in my sleep; I dreamt i was in Vancouver , and there was an earthquake .. i was alone .. and the earth was shaking .. but a voice inside me was telling me not to be afraid .. i was ducking under a small construction that looked like a box made out of concrete and i was feeling safe and that everything will just be allright! this song was my canada re-entry theme. i drove up all the way to Vancouver.. it was fall time and the colors of the leaves was fascinating .. on my way i found a safari zoo , and then a bird sanctuary .. i stopped and visited ! i felt free and in bliss. l never ended up living in vancouver or going back to school. my life took turns like i had never expected.. i discovered that the east is not like the west . the frost of the cold is mercy compared to the cold fire of the racism. what a hard decade ! I call it my British Columbia decade! the hardest in my life but fantastically transforming! I thank Canada , I love Canada , and I am a proud Canadian , still inspired by the canadian values of human rights and freedom and protection of the environment and animals and caring and helping other people of the world.. etc.. which are unfortunately being stepped on by our government while canadians watch silently!
so there you go , that is the story of this music Goodbye 2000-2009 welcome 2010 ! may it be THE year where the deepest human aspiration of peace and fulfillment of basic need becomes reality

The Concert
here is the whole concert in case the above video doesnt work http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODU1MDE4NzI=.html
Alhayat says 16 thousand and Assafir says 12 thousand people attended the concert. Regardless of that, the concert was originally intended for 10 thousand fans. How can one explain this? Fairuz broke the record she set for herself in mere two days when the MGM Grand changed concert plans and expanded the arena to its full capacity. People came from all over the world to attend the concert. A lot have said they first heard about it from the Internet. That was one thing I liked very much because I hope this site has helped with it. The song titles and more information about the concert can be found in the articles which are now accessible from the special's general information section. But what's most notably great was the presence of Assy and Mansour through all the classics she performed, Ziad through the musical introduction and Kifk Inta and Nasri Shameseddine through Haddouni which the choir performed. That was not just a concert. On the back page of Assafir newspaper, there was an update of the concert. It's going to be a success! Not that I questioned it, but the ticket prices and the location ... Anyway MGM asked for Fairuz's permission to open the arena to it's maximum capcity because there's an enormous pressure on the ticket sales which I hope this site has helped in. Read the article in Arabic. Fairuz leaves tomorrow (Sunday) for Las Vegas on the Middle East airliner. Maestro Mike Haro, who conducted her recent concerts, will accompany Fairuz in her trip as well as 24 musicians, 10 choir singers, technicians and managers, all totaling 42 persons. She has made interviews with both the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times newspapers. She has been rehearsing for a week now. Please contact me if you have access to the interviews. You can also check the article in the general information and promotional material part of the special. Source: Assafir 5/8 MGM fixed the seating capacity of the stage for a maximum audience of 10,000 seats not 16,000, by Fairouz's request. Ziad will not join Fairuz to Las Vegas. There will NOT be any tour. It's one concert like it's being advertised. If the technical issues are quickly settled in Las Vegas, It's being thought to produce, with MGM grand, some promotional items as commemorative memorabilia. Unfortunately, it seems already short on time for this to happen, so all you folks going to the concert, start praying. To all those still having second thoughts about attending the concert. What's wrong with you? If you are not 100% sure that you will attend other future concerts, can you tolerate forsaking seeing Fairuz in concert? It's not easy to make a concert every year in the States and it can be a long time before Fairuz returns there. The last time she was there was years and years ago and the next one can be years and years away, if it was even considered. It's not late to buy yourself a ticket but it can be very soon. If you've never been to Las Vegas, it can be an interesting experience. With all the colors and lights of the city and then attending the Fairuz concert, the experience can be too surreal that if not for the photos you're going to take, you may question if it was only a dream. One that will linger in your memories forever. Don't waste anymore time. Really. Just to clear something out, the news on the American tour is not confirmed. Add to that MGM is advertising the Las Vegas concert as a one historic performance. It seems logical that there will be more than one concert as it is cheaper to produce and guaranteed to succeed. However, to be on the safe side, anyone planning to see Fairuz should attend the Las Vegas concert. Again, no need to remind everyone that the tickets have been on sale for more than a week now and that the concert has been advertised about in major American newspapers, so it's wise to buy tickets now, if you plan to attend the concert. This week you can get to see the seating configuration as well as the press release of Fairuz's concert. There is also a scanned ad from Los Angeles Times of the concert. Fairuz's upcoming concert in Las Vegas is closing in. The May 15 will be marked as the greatest day of 99 by loyal Fairuz fans in North America and the concert as the greatest event to end this century. She will perform in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The arena can hold up to 16000 seats. The tickets are on sale and they are going fast, after all it's only one concert (that I know is confirmed). The tickets prices are set at $50, $75, $150, $300. For ticket sales call toll free 1- 877- 984-7263 or 702- 891-7777. Information on Fairuz's concert at the MGM site. Information of the Arena, Concert Configuration of the arena and the Schedule of the upcoming concerts including Fairuz's. The promotion is starting up and as Ammar has posted on the message board, there was an ad in the New York Times of the concert. Thanks Ammar. Will post follow-ups when become available throughout the week.

This post in copied entirely from Dj DocRemy - it was posted today , and she is featuring my music again :) !
I am super thankful to Dj DocRemy for her great show and for sharing with us the great talents of @sciencebase, David Bradley, and @Businari, Mauricio.
Featuring my Audio Art track : 'Abraham' Here is a link to Dj DocRemy's original post where you can check other very cool music. If you want to hear Abraham itself uncut , here it is :)
This music set is with collaboration of @sciencebase, David Bradley, @Lubzi and @Businari, Mauricio.
I opened the set with (@sciencebase) David’s Here Comes the Sun mixed with (@Businari) Businari’s Baal from Hi-Brazil Soundtrack from the epic book The Song of the Spheres, Vol.1, The Bard and the Queen Of Ice. http://homepage.mac.com/hibrazil/bardo1_index.html (details of the Legend)
This represents sunrise on our planet earth, Gaia.
Next I mixed rectus limbus from Businari’s Hi-Brazil Let’s Do the Samba: http://homepage.mac.com/hibrazil/ldts_index.html (for details) as this represents the sunrise has now warmed our earth.
I picked Babak and transition to (@Lubzi) Lubzi’s Braham. This represents that we, as human race, have set up way of life that resonates our higher self. According to Lubzi’s Braham: is Braham Lincoln, as is also Abraham, the ‘father’ of the Jews and Arabs: The Wise Father as is Abraham Lincoln: The Government of the People.
I like the fact that Lubzi’s piece represents both the Arabs and the Jews as one, connecting by Abraham. It is wise of her to do so in this fashion of music and speech combined.
Again from David’s Sunrise to warm the earth by Businari’s pieces and closing with Lubzi’s Braham as Abraham to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address.
What talented friends I have. Thank you David, Mauricio and Lubzi….. You have honored me much!
وإن عطل صوتها أحلامكم وبددها كما تجعل الريح الشمالية البستان قاعاً صفصفاً.
***
لأنه كما أن المحبة تكللكم, فهي أيضا تصلبكم.
وكما تعمل على نموكم, هكذا تعلمكم وتستأصل الفاسد منكم.
وكما ترتفع إلى أعلى شجرة حياتكم فتعانق أغصانها اللطيفة المرتعشة أمام وجه الشمس,
هكذا تنحدر إلى جذورها الملتصقة بالتراب وتهزها في سكينة الليل.
***
المحبة تضمكم إلى قلبها كأغمار حنطة.
المحبة على بيادرها تدرسكم لتظهر عريكم.
المحبة تغربلكم لتحرركم من قشوركم.
المحبة تطحنكم فتجعلكم كالثلج أنقياء.
المحبة تعجنكم بدموعها حتى تلينوا,
ثم تعدكم لنارها المقدسة, لكي تصيروا خبزاً مقدساً يقرّب على مائدة الرب المقدسة.
كل هذا تصنعه بكم لكي تدركوا أسرار قلوبكم, فتصبحوا بهذا الإدراك جزءاً من قلب الحياة.
غير أنكم إذا خفتم, وقصرتم سعيكم على الطمأنبنة واللذة في المحبة.
فالأجدر بكم أن تستروا عريكم وتخرجوا من بيدر المحبة إلى العالم البعيد حيثما تضحكون, ولكن ليس كل ضحككم; وتبكون, ولكن ليس كل ما في ماقيكم من الدموع.
المحبة لا تعطي إلا ذاتها, المحبة لا تأخذ إلا من ذاتها.
لا تملك المحبة شيئاً, ولا تريد أن أحد يملكها.
لأن المحبة مكتفية بالمحبة.
***
أما أنت إذا أحببت فلا تقل: "أن الله في قلبي", بل قل بالأحرى: "أنا في قلب الله".
ولا يخطر لك البتة أنك تستطيع أن تتسلط على مسالك المحبة, لأن المحبة إن رأت فيك استحقاقاً لنعمتها, تتسلط هي على مسالكك.
والمحبة لا رغبة لها إلا في أن تكمل نفسها.
ولكن, إذا أحببت, وكان لا بد من أن تكون لك رغبات خاصة بك, فلتكن هذه رغباتك:
أن تذوب وتكون كجدول متدفق يشنف آذان الليل بأنغامه.
أن تخبر الآلام التي في العطف المتناهي.
أن يجرحك إدراكك الحقيقي للمحبة في حبة قلبك, وأن تنزف دماؤك وأنت راض مغتبط.
أن تنهض عند الفجر بقلب مجنح خفوق, قتؤدي واجب الشكر ملتمساً يوم محبة آخر.
أن تستريح عند الظهيرة وتناخي نفسك بوجد المحبة.
أن تعود إلى منزلك عند المساء شاكراً:
فتنام حينئذ والصلاة لأجل من أحببت تتردد في قلبك, وأنشودة الحمد والثناء مرتمسة على شفتيك.
2. Gibran on Love...
Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love." And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
This post in copied entirely from Dj DocRemy - it was posted on Saturday, October 3, 2009 , the weekend that she featured my music :) !
I am super thankful to Dj DocRemy for her great show and for featuring my Audio Art track : October 22. Here is a link to Dj DocRemy's original post where you can check other very cool music and listen to October 22. here is the Original October 22 piece uncut :
Here is what Dj DocRemy said on her blog: "DjDrRemy - @Lubzi: Empathy for Blending on Discord-Resolve-and-Celebration by DjDocREMY
This #WeeklyMusicCelebration set is featuring our talented friend @Lubzi. I specifically name it: Empathy for Blending of Emotions: Discord, Resolve & Celebration. And the following is what @Lubzi explains about her music:
“The track name is “Oct22”. In fact it is about September 11. I called it October 22 because in those days (2002) Arabs living in the west couldn’t even discuss 9/11 without receiving at least accusing looks. So I was being ironic on the terrorizing of Arab immigrants in the name of fighting terrorism. In the beginning, things are moving in a steady pace somewhat peaceful and then all of sudden the world blows up and all the crazy events that happened afterward were too overwhelming and surreal: that is how 911 went and what I am expressing in the track.I did not have specific goal in mind: Only let my emotions take the helm as I had a load of hard to handle feelings about 9/11 and I needed to wear my heart over my sleeve.My hope is that people would feel some of my feelings….”
As for me, I picked this track of Lubzi’s (out of the 5 tracks she sent me) as somehow I resonate with the tune though I had no idea what the tune means – not until she tweeted me with the explanation.
On this set, I have added how I feel for her music as you may catch it at ~2:24 mins. then her track resumes at ~3.49 mins. I remix “Daft Punk” songs for two reasons: 1) It is entirely electronic sound – This is to emphasize how technological science of music program allows us to produce music. 2) It resonates how our humanity become stronger as a human race, faster in technology and outreach of communications which allows us to share and have more empathy as we try harder by the closing song which is a celebration to our spirit of Being - as One."
The concert was held in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on the 15th of May '99.
Alhayat says 16 thousand and Assafir says 12 thousand people attended the concert. Regardless of that, the concert was originally intended for 10 thousand fans. How can one explain this?

But what's most notably great was the presence of Assy and Mansour through all the classics she performed, Ziad through the musical introduction and Kifk Inta and Nasri Shameseddine through Haddouni which the choir performed. That was not just a concert.
