Lama Bada in the lessons section??
Hello every one,
there is a video clip in the lessons section and the player was playing "lama Bada" could any one explain to me what does that mean, i
think this is a name of a song?
 This is the reason why i'm playing Oud and i would really reaaaaaally
want to download the full song but i need the real full name of the song and artist. Anyone??
By the way, i'm currently translating some arabic music literature to English and i think that allot of English speaking beginners will find this
very useful. Will keep you all posted about this.
Thanks a ton....

Hey Eagle-y, I believe that Lamma Bada Yatathanna is by Fairuz. Also I dont remember what it means. The sad thing is that I should know what it means
seeing as it was one of the first songs my oud teacher showed me

Lamma Bada Yatathanna
There are many experts on this list who could answer this better than I, but here goes... This song was recorded by Fairuz, but it has a much longer
history. It is a traditional Arabic song (some say it originated in Palestine). It is of the "Muwashshah" variety, meaning it is based on a
poetic form originating in Spain (Andalus). In my understanding, it is a simple love song sung normally by a man about a woman.
I hope this helps
Greg

Although there is a version by Fairuz, I believe the original Lamma Bada is much much older than that. My favourite version is the one by Hamza El-Din
on Oriental Tunes - very simple, just oud, voice and percussion. Almost takes you back to Granada or Corodoba in their heyday.

Hello all,
It is said that it was compsed by an Egyptian composer named Al Sheikh Abdel Rahim al-Masloub. He was a famous composer in the mid 19th century (maybe
1840s - 50s). It is used in most conservatoires in the Middle East. It is an excellent example on the 10/8 beat rythym. And yes, it is of the
muwashshah form. I might be able to forward some different recordings to Mike (if that's ok with him) so he can post them. I don't know how
to myself.

Mouashah Lamma Bada Yatathanna is one of the most popular mouashahat in the Arab world and certainly ranks among the most overplayed oriental tunes.
The lyrics seem to be Andalousian and very, very old. The melody is not. According to the sources I have, it was written by Saleem el Masry (Egypt,
19th century). The Hamza el Din CD provides a translation which is very free.

Hey guys,
I have just updated the MP3 Page with two versions of this muwashshah that I have. Look for some other versions that Awwad is sending me
soon.
Take care,
Mike

Here is hypnotizing rendition of it by Doula from "In the garden" CD which has 18 tracks of Arabic standards. These two womens' vocals
as the explore their Arabic heritage are beyond praise. You gotta listen to them. I hope the file isn't too large. You can get the CD here http://www.coolname.com/go/doula
Here goes nothing...

Here's another one from the Jalilah's Raks Sharki series of CDs. It is on Volume 3. These are very nice CDs by the way. I recommend them
highly.
