Hamid El Shaeri – Ouda / عوده

( Egypte, Libye , 1988 , El Sharq )

posted on 19 / 01 / 2025

For today, I wanted to share with you “Ouda” (“عوده”, or “return” in Arabic), a super sweet balearic Pop Soul track from Libya with catchy guitar parts, taken from an early album recorded in Egypt at “Studio M. Sound” & released on tape format in 1988 by the superstar composer  & singer Hamid El Shaeri (حميد الشاعري).

I found this tape in a grocery store in a small village in Lebanon a few years ago, and this one is one of my favorite from this very prolific artist, whose a compilation was released on the famous reissue label “Habibi Funk“, but without that track – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
