Lebanese indie-electro-dance-rock band Who Killed Bruce Lee paid tribute to Algerian Singer and one of the Arab world’s most famous Divas, Warda al-Jazairi with this “Batwanniss Beek” awesome cover.

Horrible voice! music is fine though
Poor Warda must be tossing and turning in her grave
Fusion has been dominating the music scene for quite some time and I’m glad to see that our local bands are bold enough to take a stab at this. However, such a practice resembles cooking in the sense that it’s all about feeling taste, both of which are almost entirely absent in this cover.
After listening to to three times, I reached the same conclusion: It doesn’t make me feel a single thing.
The original? Well that one is another story; that one moves you; that one makes your soul stir every single time.
But hey, I’m just one guy from the audience with potentially poor musical taste, so what do I know?
