Not thinking of any specific songs in mind here but clarification: from cursory research, a rather large proportion of Middle Eastern music artists are now based in somewhere like Canada or California, even if their artistic output is specifically tied to their heritage, so what am I looking for, citizenship of a Middle Eastern country, must be based in the ME at least some of the time, must be fully based there? Happy to go with the line you were thinking of here, it's a interesting restriction to decide on (and one I have a temptation to make "current" should I find the right artist and song combination).

So seeing as this (and the Southeast Asia theme) is a smaller geographical area than the African and South American theme I think its fine that you send someone that is based outside or partially outside of the Middle East. The wording for this theme is just something that I initially overlooked a bit because I sort of have to be familiar with the Middle East 😅

Ideally if you do send someone that is from outside of the Middle East I would like for that entry to have some sort of connection to the geographical area or as you wrote yourself, their heritage. This could be part of the imagery used in the Music Video, the language, the lyrics or something else.

can i have number 34 pls instead if that’s okay? i’m really not a movie buff so you could have suggested something as general as “send any movie soundtrack song” and i still woulda been like WELP

Could you pick a number between 46-50? these are the extras that I have in case someone wanted a new theme

50: You must send a song by a duo!

Submitted a nice cover version of a song that I enjoy a lot

Confirmed!

Genre: J-crazy🥳

Will be confirming tomorrow x

The deadline for this has crept up quickly oop - will see if I can find the motivation to search for something tonight but obvz will find something tomorrow if not x

I was probably a bit hasty, a focused search has me right down a rabbit hole of Egyptian, Lebanese and other Arabian pop, submitted something iconic.

I have one iconic song from those countries you mentioned, so I’m really curious if it’s the same one. 🤭

Submitted!

Admittedly, it may be difficult to decipher the message, as the vocals are quite muffled and shoegazey - but there is one nevertheless

So I get free reign on my sub-genre?

Well this is a bit of a broad theme

Didn't think you would literally copy that vague suggestion!

By subgenres, I mean bubblegum pop, liquid drum & bass, etc..

So yeah, free reign!

Yes, as long as it's a fusion/mix of two or more genres it should be fine!

Country-pop, Jazz-rock etc
