Hayy Festival , Four Arab Singer Women @CNN IReport
Well, she performed many songs in different Arabic accents, remixes Mohamed Abdel Wahab ( Great Egyptian Musician) with Mohamed Adawia (Pop Egyptian Singer from 60’s) along with belly dancer’s song from the 80’s all this mix in companion with Indian Sitar and small xylophone once you lay your eye on her , you can easily recognize (morphologically) a skinny mix of Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Shakira & J-lo, especially tight latex/leather drop waist pants and the 2 obvious inches from tummy skin, crazy hair and glossy make-up all over her boney pale face.
Her audience was so excited, since this is the first time she performs in Egypt, the audience was the most diversity, from out-of-control teenagers “give me a French kiss, Yasmine”, “would you marry me, Yasmine ?” to 50’s and 60’s years old intellectuals e.g journalists and film makers ( Director Youssry Nasallah was among the audience) all was swinging , some of them was seeing her literally : (drooling hot) especially when she sings “Aziza” and say “La Madarshy” (No,I can’t)
Music was different for sure, even if you can’t recognize certain fingerprint, Indian drummer dressed in all red, and her Hispanic girlfriend (member of the band) she plays Guitar, drum, xylophone and share Yasmine vocal sometimes.
