Anybody african here?

[Zahta]

east african actually. I love the way nigerian  speak, the accent is awesome. eventhough egypt is in africa i still feel as though its the middle east which is weird. Maybe because they speak arabic

[nemolala]

same.. I sound ridiculous so I don't speak arabic to others. I just understand it lol..I have a stupid accent in arabic

[Mariammm]

yeah.. i never really considered egypt as part of africa.. its always been the middle east to me too.. it isn't weird, i think its a universal understanding even though it technically is ... i agree, the nigerian accent is awesome ... at nemolala - yeah me too but i love arab music

[nemolala]

If om kolthum is part of arabic music then I so don't agree with you.

[Mariammm]

loll...puh-lease... my grandmother listens to that... i hate how the music goes on for at least 30 mins before she atually sings... and her songs average 2 hours.. but listen to these

True..ahh i don't listen to arabic music but yeah i'm surprised about the first vid..not like your usual arab music..I think.

[Mariammm]

because it wasn't made by arabs they're a group - the brunette's morrocan and the blonde's german... but there is lots of stuff like that... i guess because i go to so many arab parties and weddings, i grew accustomed to the music and just kinda kept up

[nemolala]

you must be so Egyptian then..parties, weddings, family,Egyptian mates...the lot. I, on the other hand have not experienced any of that with many Egyptians..

[Mariammm]

its fun to an extent.. i think you and i are on opposite sides of the spectrum... somewhere in the middle would be good ... but you can't control these things..

[nemolala]

yeah you can't at all... but its pretty cool knowing another Egyptian around

[abd123]

abd123... do you find that people get your nationality right?? Everyone's first guess for me is hawaiian - like lilo and stitch hawaiian (you know, lilo's older sister) followed by filipina, morrocan (what do morrocan's even look like??), and then armenian.... and i've gotten at least 5 spanish'es ... never egyptian or even arab (unless morrocans are classified as arabs).... weird huh? its funny because theres no trend... there's the islanders (hawaiian, filipina) but thats about it... and they always tend to be the same guesses...

Haha lol thats nice to know people calling you other natios like filipina, hawaiian and moroccan. People do get my nationality right lol due to my looks obviously, but people a lot of people get amazed with my british/aussie accent. Its a shame that i don't know my native language, which sucks lol. I only know how to speak english, a lot of people would be thinking i can speak in two languages when i cant :/.

thanks for the lols maryam .
