      <title>Saudi Songstress TamTam Finally Unveils Her Latest Heartwarming Song – Rainbows</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/20/2015 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arab pop music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_music">Arab pop music</a>, with its melodious tones, rhythms and heartwarming lyrics – can help people discover that in the middle of every worst case scenario, there&apos;s always a flickering light of hope shining which makes life worth living. With the power of what music can do, this have encouraged the rising pop star from the Middle East, Tamtam, to be firm with her dream to make Arab music the strong voice of women in achieving equality and freedom in a world where gender inequality still exist.<br />
<br />
The strong uphold of this Saudi Songstress towards women&apos;s rights can be seen in her numerous <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arabic music video" href="http://tamtamsound.com/">Arabic music video</a> uploaded in YouTube and several video sharing websites with lyrics that bears noble emotions and deep meaningful experience as a Saudi woman whose rights were deprived. According to Tamtam, her native land was widely criticized for its treatment of women in general, but she is grateful for what her country have provided her which made her deeply value their traditions. And releasing her anthemic song entitled, Gender Game is only a call to action for women to stand up for what they believe they deserve; to empower and encourage people to understand one another&apos;s perspectives and not to reject them. She strongly believes that having freedom is like having to make their own choices without anyone to interfere.<br />
<br />
For people who have come across with the name of this rising Saudi Songstress, TamTam is a singer-songwriter from the Middle East and is now based in Los Angeles, California to share her deep love to music and ever support to women&apos;s rights. Her vocal prowess is a bit similar of that Adele&apos;s and Sia&apos;s acid jazz vocals but is rich and feisty in musicality. However, what makes her unique from other contemporaries is that she resonates more deeply with her music as this was cultivated by the rich combination of cultural and social themes – most likely a cultural paradox of blues, pop and Arab music. And her influence as a musician is more on empowering the women in the global community by letting her music speaks to the many social challenges that every woman in the world has to face.<br />
<br />
Aside from her songs like Little Girl and some few covers, recently, she released her latest song from her Gender Game EP entitled &apos;Rainbows&apos; which can now be downloaded in iTunes. This was composed and arranged by the singer itself with a message for all the women around the world that they should hear. It might not be the danceable track listeners might be expecting but this song will help people realize that like rainbows, every person is entitled to have their own spectrum of light; to make choices and decisions on their own in a good way.<br />
<br />

      <title>How the Female Population Revolutionized Arabic Music Videos</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Women through their voices and unwitting talent have represented majority of Arabic influences. They revolutionized the modern Arabic Music and Music Videos through their presence.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/13/2015 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arabian Music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_music">Arabian Music</a> is the representation of the rich culture of Arabia and the rest of other culture, which somehow influenced Arabia today. <br />
<br />
Even in the Pre-Islamic state of the country, women already played an important role in the development of Arabic Music. Women with beautiful voices would sing to the lyrics of poems while playing early musical instruments. Their compositions were simple and easy to understand. <br />
<br />
In the 1950&apos;s and 1960&apos;s, influences of Western Music began in the 	Arabic culture. There were a few musicians who experimented in using western instruments to accompany their composition. In the 1970&apos;s, several artists took the plunge and started Arabic pop.  This song genre usually consists of Western styled songs with Arabic lyrics and content. The melodies are often a mix of Eastern and Western Music. In the 1980&apos;s, Lydia Canaan, a woman, was regarded as the first rock star of the Middle East. She was also the first successful Lebanese recording artist. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arabic Music" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TapZvLR-S4">Arabic Music</a> was also influencing Western music at the same time, which leads to the development of surf music, rock music and punk rock. In the 1980&apos;s, there were also several female artists, which took up such styling. <br />
<br />
At the rise of YouTube and music videos comes the representation of women on the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arabic Music Video" href="http://tamtamsound.com/">Arabic Music Video</a> scene. Women as video presenters add a different value to the music they are representing. More and more Arabic music videos these days are brae and sophisticated enough to represent the merging of cultures, which represents the evolution of Arabic Music. Arabic Music Videos are bolder and much more redefined to promote Arabic culture while embracing the incoming cultures which are relevant these days.<br />
<br />
Women through their voices and unwitting talent have represented majority of Arabic influences. They revolutionized the modern Arabic Music and Music Videos through their presence. <br />
<br />
Music is a really powerful tool to represent a society. It can speak fully of social challenges, women&apos;s triumph over status classification, women&apos;s rights and social freedoms, which continue to influence people from all walks of life. Music is relevant to create and promote social change. Music videos representing a composition can also communicate a big deal of meaning if done correctly. It is the theatrical representation of each note and letters in a musical composition. Thus, it should be done in an intricate and influential way. Like the women in Arabic Music History, music videos can also influence and promote social change. <br />

      <title>TamTam Shares Great Passion for Music and Deep Advocacy in Dealing with Societal Issues in Her Arab Pop Music with a Twist</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">TamTam’s inspiration to write and record the song “Gender Game” is when reality hit her as to why woman should not show their faces or why should people not know who you are while most men can do whatever they want with it.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/02/2015 --  In the coming years, the music industry will be flooded with new subgenre of music and will top the airwaves as more and more people will seek fresh faces and excellent songs in the music scene. One of the subgenres that will definitely make every head turn is the Arab pop music. What makes this subgenre a new music to look forward to, is that Arab pop songs are synthetically combined by pop tunes with the elements of Arab music in collaboration with guitar and other Arab instruments. Moreover, the overall tone and the mood of the songs displays great focus on longing, melancholy, discord but most of them are of love issues in a minor key. But music lovers will surely be enticed with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arab pop music" href="http://tamtamsound.com/about/">Arab pop music</a> once they hear the rising Arab songstress, TamTam.<br />
<br />
Though she&apos;s an Arab in descent, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="TamTam" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6-8uHrOR9k">TamTam</a> is a songstress now living in Los Angeles California that will set the record straight – that Arab pop music is the new generation&apos;s kind of melody people should hear. TamTam managed to weave deep advocacy to the women&apos;s right with her hybrid of blues, pop and deep influence of the Arab culture in her music style in creating a song that separates her music from cliches. She represents a cultural paradox which makes her music as strong as her spirit in facing many societal issues and she continuously inspires all walks of life.<br />
<br />
As her voice resonates her deep inclination to the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Arab culture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_pop_music">Arab culture</a> throughout her music and her campaign for social freedom and women&apos;s right, it&apos;s not surprising that she has been one of the prominent talents that was invited last fall to take part and perform at the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media where she performed her emotion-packed and anthemic song "Gender Game". According to the Institute&apos;s CEO Madeline Di Nonno, the song has in fact, &apos;resonated their mission&apos; to fight the conflicts within media depiction.<br />
<br />
TamTam&apos;s inspiration to write and record the song "Gender Game" is when reality hit her as to why woman should not show their faces or why should people not know who you are while most men can do whatever they want with it. And just to voice out the rights of women in this big man&apos;s world, she made a lot of investment to have her thoughts and beliefs get materialized through her music. Though funding could be a daunting task to handle for a rising singer like TamTam, quitting never crosses her mind. She believes that in order to be heard by the masses, she only needs to work with the right people that believes in what she is fighting for, and the people that will invest in her to make a difference in the world.<br />
<br />
Today, TamTam is preparing her new and fresh materials to be put on the airwaves sometime this year and not checking out her official website at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.tamtamsound.com" href="http://www.tamtamsound.com">http://www.tamtamsound.com</a>, as well as her YouTube channel for her latest projects is certainly a thing that music lovers should never miss.<br />

      <title>A Call to Action on Gender Equality with Saudi Songstress TamTam's Soulful Music</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Today, TamTam is focusing more on improving her craft in Hollywood and dedicating her time in US to facilitate stronger Arab-American relations with her charity works. She can also be seen touring nationally and sharing her music on selective private shows and galas in Washington DC, Los Angeles and New York.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/04/2015 --  TamTam, the rising <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="songstress" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0XfwgbrWmo">songstress</a> from the Middle East is ready to hit the music industry this year with her hybrid of blues, pop and Arabian influence deeply intertwined on her songs and lyrics that speaks of social challenges, social freedom and women&apos;s rights as interpreted by her cool, soulful voice that comes from the heart. That makes the &apos;Little Girl&apos; singer and songwriter a favorite of her unique and eargasmic covers and original songs worthy on the playlist chart.<br />
<br />
The middle east-born musician who is now residing in Los Angeles, California, sees her music as the most powerful tool to deliver the message of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gender equality" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_equality">gender equality</a>, in which the rights of the women in her native land were suppressed and gender discrimination on women are still prevalent and not widely supported. As TamTam recounts, she was born and raised in a nation where women are not given the basic civil liberties nor allowed to express their selves. Yet, she&apos;s lucky enough to have a family and loved ones that support and motivate her that enables her to find self-expression through music. <br />
<br />
And with her inspiring and anthemic debut entitled, &apos;Gender Game&apos;, which she had performed previously in the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media on a three-day symposium, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="TamTam music" href="http://www.tamtamsound.com">TamTam music</a> will never stop on inspiring people and in encouraging women to strive for their dreams despite inequalities in a world dominated by man. <br />
<br />
In fact, she included Betty Friedan&apos;s Speech during the &apos;Women&apos;s Strike for Equality Day&apos; in 1970 ("There will be a new kind of creativity, not only a new definition of love, but as we define ourselves there will be a new image of women. And in the joy on every woman&apos;s face, in our affirmation of ourselves as women we felt this transcendent joy") in her an unapologetic video that delivered a provocative challenge for women that makes the song a new anthem for women&apos;s right. Followed by the #GenderGame campaign, TamTam still hopes that women around the world will continue on fighting for their dreams and not to be ceased by gender-based limitations in sharing what they can contribute to the society.<br />
<br />
Today, TamTam is focusing more on improving her craft in Hollywood and dedicating her time in US to facilitate stronger Arab-American relations with her charity works. She can also be seen touring nationally and sharing her music on selective private shows and galas in Washington DC, Los Angeles and New York. People can visit her official website and get to know more of TamTam as to why her diverse background and the rich combination of cultural and social themes resonated with her music a totally recommendable music to listen.<br />
