New album for Fayrouz?

Let’s hope this is true. Al-Anba (A Kuwaiti newspaper) posted today that Fayrouz will soon be releasing a new album and is currently busy choosing the songs to be included in it. I also hope she holds a concert in parallel as I still have never watched Fayrouz performing live, and totally regretted missing the opportunity to do so in the last few years at BIEL and Pleatea.

Jazzy Hip-Hop : "Life is a Traffic Jam" - 2Pac / Eight Mile Road

You might be wondering "why in God's name is Ali writing about 2Pac?". Well yes, why wouldn't I? Only hardcore fans of the late rapper would know this song; it's off the movie "Gridlock'd" which also stars 2Pac, Tim Roth, and Thandie Newton. It's actually a jazzy fusion of 2Pac rapping and playing (faking) the bass (a Fender Precision no less), while Tim Roth plays (fakes) the piano, and Thandie Newton sings about traffic jams and wasted life.

Visiting Kuwait

Yes a friend of mine is visiting Kuwait. He is Italian, so i won’t take him out to just any restaurant. Other than Mubarakiya Souk and other similar attraction, what would you recommend on the to-do list? I do live in Kuwait, but have been doing the same things forever.
