So what do Habibi Ya 3eyni by Maya Yazbek, Chik Chak Chok by Hassan Abou El Seoud, and Ya Wad Ya T2il by Souad Housni have in frequent? They’re mega mega hits of their respective instances and very long time afterwards (Yazbek in 1984, Abou El Seoud launched his album in 1982 and Housni within the movie Khalli Balak Min Zouzou in 1972). Apparently, Rawi tea appears to suppose that the success of those songs nonetheless goes on until as we speak – nicely, for a lot of generations it does, for others they might haven’t any clue what they’re speaking about.
Proof? Right here, right here, and right here.
Look the advertisements function no tea, and so from that perspective they’re gutsy. Are they cute? In some ways sure, they’re, and the solid in very plausible. Now, strive as they may to hype the “it is a large factor” (ossa kbire) which is the promoting line of the advertisements – I’m afraid that regardless of the way you look, there isn’t a invite for a tea anyplace. The temper is cute and jovial for positive, the hits – at the very least for a sure fragment of the inhabitants – could be a throwback to a special period (and nostalgia all the time works). However as I stated, these hits are solely recognized to a selected viewers (folks, somebody requested me why I’m mentioning Sherihan in correlation to Ramadan a couple of days in the past!), which makes the jury out on the effectivity of the advertisements.
I do give bonus factors by for not making the househelp in one of many advertisements darkish skinned.
