فيسائلني القمر يا حلوة ما الخبر
I first heard of Macadi Nahhas in a comment that was posted on this blog, and I’ve been wanting to hear her live ever since. Today, I finally got the chance, and I must say, I was totally blown away (and I am not particularly sensitive to music so that really is saying something). Her voice rings with music even when it is unaccompanied by any sort of musical instrument to the extent that she is even comparable to Fayrouz.
She unfortunately didn’t sing much, but she did sing some of my favorite songs ever, including “Sahar il Layali”, “Methel il Nejmah Wil Gamar“, and “Ahwak”. She sang “Ahwak”, a song I absolutely love, without any instruments and it was absolutely breathtaking.
Great show. I can’t wait to get the chance to hear her live again.
Here’s a video that I can’t stop listening to of her singing Ahwak:
أهواك بلا أمل و عيونك تبسم لي
و ورودك تغريني بشهيات القبل
أهواك و لي قلب بغرامك يلتهب
تدنيه فيقترب تقصيه فيغترب
في الظلمة يكتئب و يهدهده التعب
فيذوب و ينسكب كالدمع في المقل
في السهرة أنتظر و يطول بي السهر
فيسائلني القمر يا حلوة ما الخبر
فأجيبه و القلب قد تيمه الحب
يا بدر أنا السبب أحببت بلا أمل
Here’s a video with a little “collage” of the show:

eh, you were there kaman? :)
yes indeed, macadi’s voice is breathtaking. I’m glad you liked her. now “Methel il Nejmah Wil Gamar” makes more sense ;-)
as for “Ahwak” by Fairouz, it’s one of my favorites, but Macadi’s version was really really unbelievable. thanx for sharing Roba. check out my post as well.

إن العين الساهرة تعمل على مدار الساعة لفك شيفرة الهمسات في الفيديو المذكور أعلاه لكن يتبين من التحليل الأولي قلق الأطراف المعنية من تسيجل فحوى المحادثة على الجهاز السمعي-البصري المستخدم

Thanks for sharing - great concert. This is what I miss being away from Jordan.
Macadi is Iraqi - by the way (ya Qwaider)
Did you notice the great music players behind her? Omar Abbadi on Oud and I think … can’t remember the Nay player’s name. He is also exceptionally good.

OK, I remember now, the Nay player is Leith Sleman. He’s a very smart person who decided to study music against all temptations of glamorous career to truly become the most excellent student of the Nay in Jordan
