Jimmy plays Hide and Seek

Shaimaa Khalil Shaimaa Khalil | 15:02 UK time, Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Esteghomaya is Hide and Seek in Arabic, specifically in Egyptian Arabic dialect. It's also Jimmy Halim's Blog name where he discusses everything Egyptian. In the blog post below he ponders over the recent spreading of Sufi music within upper and upper middle-class young Egyptians. He starts by saying

Listen sweetheart. I'm just into Sufi music, Sufi singing or anything that has to do with Suf. Just may be Sufi blankets. حبيب قلبي انا ماليش في الموسيقى الصوفية ، الإنشاد الصوفي و كل ما له علاقة بالصوف اللهم إلا البطاطين الصوف

Suf is wool in Arabic. With a great sense of humor Jimmy Halim attempts to analyse social and political issues in his blog. Sufism in high society is one of them.

أعرف أيضاً أنها ( أحدث موضة ) .. أو بتعبير مجلة حواء ( أحدث صيحة ) في عالم المثقفين و المثقفات .. و تحديداً المحاظيظ ( جمع محظوظ ) من الشرائح العُليا و الوسطى من الطبقة البرجوازية المصرية و طبعاً المطبلاتيه بتوعهم - أو بغبغاناتهم - من الشرائح الأدنى للبرجوازية و الأعلى من الطبقة المتوسطة

Look out for Jimmy's video here soon.
