Pop music
Like other Arabs, Palestinians adore Arab pops. In supermarkets, hair salons, and restaurants, TV monitors are showing Arab pops shows.
Popular musicians are from Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey. Recently, Palestinian singers become very popular too because of a big TV show, Arab Idle.
Visit CD shops in the souq (marketplace), and ask a shop assistant which is good for beginners. There sell compilation albums of popular songs.
If you could sing Arab pops, Palestinians would get so excited!
