Amr Diab has a single Gamaa Habaybak (A Gathering with your Loved Ones) that I discovered as I was listening to his recent hit Ana Gheir. It tells the story about appreciating the time spent with loved ones.

The music is Arabic Pop mixed with Tarab sounds. Shady Hassan composed this song. The instruments heard in this single are the ones heard in classical Arabic / Middle Eastern Music including lute and darbuka. The composition of the tune reminds me of two songs, in particular, Nour Al-Ain (Light of The Eye) and Amarain (Two Moons). The old and the new combined, which has been a new musical style in Amr Diab’s latest music.
Amr Diab’s voice sounds cheerful and genuine. It’s smooth and rhythmic. He knows how to increase or decrease the tempo of his voice smoothly. Amr Diab has a vocal style that’s a mix of the old & the new. Impressive!
The lyrics have a simplicity to them, yet they still have a deep meaning to them, the importance of spending time with loved ones. The song has a nostalgic effect as it has a memory lane component, which gives it a personal feel to it. Tamer Hussein wrote the words to Gamaa Habaybak. Each line of the song has a rhyme structure of AABB within a freestyle of writing. The lyrics have a richness to them that unites people together.
The single Gamaa Habaybak is now available.
