i have no idea what this song is even called because i canโt speak Arabic, but i heard it on holiday in Egypt and my whole family played it on repeat after that.
(i think the singer of the song is super famous in Egypt but i had never heard of him before (i live in the UK))

Egyptian comedy song about a horse-drawn carriage. This is a song I listened to in my parents car growing up (im lebanese tho) and itโs part of my new-age appreciation of Arab music. I actually cant stop hyperfixating in this song rn
The rhythmic clip clop cadence here is what makes this song special. Like literally riding a horse. the real singer is this artist name Amina (I think) and she actually made up a new verb:
El Hantour is a horse-drawn carriage, but to Hantar is toโฆ be riding the horse-drawn carriage. So brilliant
Wa arkab el hantour (dirigin dirigin)
Wa athantar (dirigin dirigin)
Bonus: El Hantour Remix by Saliah during her Boiler Room set starting at 20:24

Beautiful compilation that I used to be absolutely obsessed with. Perfect listen for the spring time! Sadly I don't speak Arabic but the sweet and diverse sounds speak for themselves.

black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance. โจParis Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them.
this is an essential watch!!!
