Thanks Alami and Pirate for your comprehensive responses- I now quite understand what metaibati means which could explain something unique to old Arab
recordings when all of a sudden somebody would interrupt the singer or player saying few verses followed by clapping or chanting from audience.
Re Michael Moussa, I think you are al right pirate- I have been in touch and got the loudest laughter ever from Michael- he finds the whole matter
over-hilarious. He is happy to be called Mikhail effendi el metaibati instead of Abu Mina offering competitive service as metaibati for recordings or
live performances.
I am desperate to have clips, articles recording even personal private ones to highlight this phenomenon
