Warda - Nagham El Hawa

Algerian singer Warda's impressive musical history is impossible to summarize into one album, and this two-disc 1999 compilation does not attempt to achieve that. This compilation is a great look at Warda's early 1990s career versus her earlier, more traditional career. The first disc is a compilation of the best of Warda's work with Salah El Sharnoubi, from 1992 to 1996. Perennial international favorites Batwanness Bik and Harramt Ahebbak are included, as well as some upbeat maksoum songs and mellower ballads. The second disc is a beginner's look into Warda's lengthy, more classical 1970s work, with musical giants Baligh Hamdi (composed Alf Leila We Leila) and Mohamed Abdel Wahab (composed Inta Omri). In 1973, Abdel Wahab originally intended Fi Youm We Leila for the young Mayada El Hennawy, but the ever-competitive Warda won the song for herself, and it became one of her defining hits.

Warda - Harramt Ahebbak

Algerian legend Warda's successes can be divided into two categories; the tarab songs and the songs that helped give birth to modern Arabic pop. Songs like Aw'ati Btehlaw (Time Becomes More Beautiful), Akdeb Aleik (I Would Be Lying), and Fi Youm We Leila (In a Day and a Night) defined Warda's early career, and made her a legend in a business that was flooded with new talent. However, it is Warda's collaboration with Egyptian composer Salah El Sharnoubi in the early 1990s that defined her late career and gave way to the new wave of shorter, and more pop-influenced Arabic music. One of the greatest collaborations between Warda and Salah was Harramt Ahebbak (I've Forbidden Myself from Loving You):
