Omar Faruk Tekbilek 'Shashkin' (Turkey)

Aside from futile nationalism, cultural expropriation and historical revisionism, if you're really interested in tracing the origin of this musical piece (the original melody, rhythm and beat not the modern Artists/Composers/Distributors) you'll find it's undoubtedly a quintessentially Saidi Folklore song from Upper Egypt, ubiquitously heard in tribal weddings etc. for decades (see after 3 minutes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9dyidJ92ru8e6c.html; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLuFnaub2KvJeac.html). The rhythm, arrangement, the "Mizmar" and "Tabl Baladi" instruments you can hear are all typical of this region in Egypt; see Metqal Qenawi, Farhan El-Belbeesi, Shawqi El-Qenawi, Mohamed Taha, Makram El-Minyawi. Solely the pride, mere isolation and technological/geographical detachment of this culture from the rest of Egypt (even till today!) let alone from Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon or elsewhere makes it almost impossible to imagine this traditional folklore piece having originated from anywhere else. On the other hand, I would think that it's more plausible that the Ottoman/Turk Arabesque-music-lovers and also the Lebanese music producers who frequented Egypt to sample, record and produce Bellydance music etc. could've been attracted to the Saidi beats. Whilst this music was traditionally intended for Tahtib dancing or Saidi Dressage, it later evolved into a Dabke or Belly-dancing classic for its catchy melody and heavy, earthy beats. Numerous other interpretations of the original Saidi Egyptian piece have been progressively re-sampled and rearranged, with some even adding vocals: Al Ain Mulaytin - Samira Tawfik (1974); Erkin Koray - Şaşkın (1974); Fares Karam, Aboud Abdel, Alla Kushnir, Mohamed Hussein. There is some contention over who first commercialised the reinterpreted song to an audience via a modern transmission medium (TV, Radio, LP); Samira Tawfik's first performance was on the Talent show "Studio El-Fann" in 1974 (see 3m9s here where the year 1974 is written in Arabic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqydqpZoysC6ZXk.html). One theory could be that she (or her creatives, producers or agents) created a mashup of the well-known Saidi sample with an old 1925 Iraqi song's lyrics (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLeXotV8tpOxdo0.html) which likely resonated with her Bedouin heritage and accent, eventually gaining widespread commercial success. In my opinion, it's less likely that she created an "Arabic" version of Erkin Koray's interpretation simply because of the chronological history of the piece, and also because of the audible difference in the two versions which even use different instruments etc. Following Samira Tawfik and Erkin Koray, Omar Faruk Tekbilek produced the highest-fidelity studio recording of the instrumental (Shashkin, 1996) possibly after stumbling across Saidi Sufi traditions, given the fact that he is a devoted Sufi himself and his mother was Egyptian. I hope this sheds a bit of light on where this song's influences are from, and as many have said, the beauty of music is that it is shared irrespective of country or colour or tribe!

@@Panarabista thank you for this!
