The Arab Music Industry

By Mike Shimun


Arab music started in the early 5th and 6th centuries. The Music back then was important to the people as it cultivated the mystique of exorcists and magicians.

Currently, music is found everywhere, homes, work shops and concerts. It's a part of everyday life. The major influencers of todays music are Samira Said, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab and many more. They impliment current style music into their music to blend in with todays modern stylized music.

Amr Diab is by far one of the most famous and popular music artists in the arab world, known for many of his major albums, Nour El Ain, Awedooni, Amarain "Two Moons" in English, Tamally Ma'ak, Aktar Wahed, Allem Albi, Leily Nahary and many more.

Today, the music industry is struggling to make a big come back since piracy is such a big issue. File sharing and p2p have hijacked the worlds music industry, and there is'nt much that can be done about it. Sales have dramatically dropped for many artists and continue to til now.

The major sites that allow music to be downloaded are 6rb and 6rbtop which allow users to download full albums and mp3 files directly. These websites are hijacking the artists, and basically allow users to illegally obtain files, which have not been purchased or payed for, basically illegal activity.

Websites such as Stream Arabia have started showing up on the scene, putting some moral sense in the fight against piracy. Stream Arabia is dedicated to arabic music and غاني mp3, and has shown no signs of any piracy on their website, although still in maintenance.

Although the site Bezmara.net lets users register for an account, then pwrite artiscles relating to popular music, top music and share some forums around with others. Websites such as this one are great examples of sites trying to keep the arabic music industry stay alive.
