The Nancy Ajram phenomenon is a very significant one to the middle east, this region so touched by religion and by taboos! All the new young female singers in the arab world are kind of participating in the huge social developpement that was impossible 10 Years ago! And the fact that Arab TV stations don't hesitate to show the video clips of these artists, Video clips that ignore a lot of Taboos of the arab world, is a very good sign of future opening to the rest of the " Developped" world! I'm crossing my fingers so that one day we reach the point of cultural "Normalisation" with the West! Not because the culture of the west is the best , its far away from being the best, but because its only by crossing different cultures together that we will reach understandings on a lot of things and avoid the so called " Shock of Civilisations".... There is another interesting side of this Phenomenon : No matter how bloody the israeli arab conflict is, In israel, people listen to artists from Lebanon, from Syria, from Egypt.... and on the other hand, some middle eastern countries use israel's Sarit Haddad's music ...I was at a Club in Amman and i was shocked when i heard " Yala lech ha bayta motti" or a remix of HaSmachot's " Yuda yuda ya yuda" .... mixed with Arabic MUSIC!!!!In the Palestinian terriroties, we happen to listen to Israeli hebrew music too....Anyways, it is very interesting, maybe we are fighting on all the grounds but what is for sure is that music is bringing us closer! That's what i call The light at the end of the tunnel!
