Video of the week -- Cheb Khaled
I've loved this song for years, but only recently discovered this video of it. No idea why the guy with the beard is so grouchy.

About Me

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I am not Jewish, nor gay, nor (obviously) a woman -- you don't need to be a member of a group to object to them being mistreated. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Good Morning Mr.Infidel!
Never heard the piece or could even tell you what language or culture it is, but I did like the percussion's line/base of it.
Thank You ......
Catchy tune, isn't it? The language is Arabic, but I can't understand more than a word or two here and there -- Cheb Khaled is from Algeria, and the dialect there is very different from the standard Arabic I studied. Based on the clothes I'd guess the setting is India.
Maybe the family patriarch doesn't like the young girls choice of men, hence grouchiness.
Joyous piece.
What RC said, and the guy has an amazing voice.
Interesting piece of music there, Infidel. I felt it was set in India but wouldn't know any of the possible languages. Actually, I liked the dancing and costumes.

I'll play American bandstand here.
Words and stuff were hard to follow but the beat rock.
Easy to dance to.
I'll give it a 7 Dick.
Only us old folks will get it.
I'll give it a 7 Dick.
Is that like Roger Ebert giving two thumbs up?:-)
Thank you for the song. You probably are a big fan of Khaled, have you some informations about Khaled and Citizens of the World song ?

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
