Kamal Kassar

صباحك ورد،
منتداكم جميل وعالم ... وأنا شبه أميّة وأحتاج إلى دروس خصوصيّة كي ألتحق يالرّكب.
ممكن تعمل لي "كراش كورس" كي أتمكّن من مجاراتكم؟

Dear Kamal,

Many thanks for this. It looks like a very useful site.

My Arabic, sadly goes only at snail's pace, so I shall have to postpone a detailed reading of this material (at present I am translating two interviews with Lebanese zajalists).

Can you tell me (a burning question, to which I have to find the answer) - to your knowledge, is there an equivalent in Egypt of the kind of zajalist "poetic duelling" that exists in Lebanon? Whether in traditional contexts (weddings etc) or in performance contexts.

With best regards,

Ed
