Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I've been thinking about my hookah christening party as of recently and I was wondering what specific songs or bands would fit the mood around the pipe. I've got a few on a tentative list but not enough. However, please don't suggest Sublime or Bob Marley. I'd rather not have to deal with my "rather traditional thinking" neighbours.

John Deere Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I listen to arabic music while I smoke my hoookah, It feels like your sitting in a hookah lounge in egypt or something. But thats probably not what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Woah! Probably not looking for Arabic? I've got some Arabic, Indian, and a bit of house music on the list already. Arash, Armand Van Helden, Cheb Khaled, Dhoom, Greg Howard, Hum Tum, Khakee, Paap, and Jimi Mistry to name most. I want to feel like I'm sitting in a Hookah Lounge. That's what I'm looking for. If you could recommend a few songs or entire albums I would appreciate it. And about the hip hop, I'll give it a dry run tonight. I've smoked enough that the feeling is forever ingrained into my memory. I must say though, I'm not much for hip hop in general but I will give it a go.

Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I checked out warren g and, although it is a mellow song, it doesn't flow with the smoke for me. Got some Amr Diab and more Cheb Khaled. Probably gonna be at this all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yup, you've got the idea down. Pretty much anything that is chill music would work best with hookah. One of my top choices would have to be Jack Johnson. Legit lyrics, calm music with a nice flow. Jack Johnson might seem a little cliche with todays "in crowd", but I ignore that sh*t and just listen to him. I too listen to a majority of Rap/Hip hop but that doesn't mean I dislike everything else. Other favs you can find under my hookah mix include: Slightly Stoopid, Marley, Expendables, and a lot from The Beatles. Never tried looking for Arabic music. I should give it a try.

Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 If you look into arabic music, look for a song by Cheb Khaled called Alech Taadi, very good song. It was actually featured in the movie The Fifth Element but was sadly left out of the soundtrack CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Oh jeez, how could I forget. Pink Floyd's The Wall. The entire album is amazing while smoking. I gained a new appreciation for that album at my first shisha session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I just downloaded the song from the 5th element. I REMEMBER THAT SONG! Its right when he's about to start running from the cops when Leelu drops in his cab Good stuff. I don't know why I never thought about downloading more Indian/Arabic music for when I'm smoking. I already downloaded about a cd's worth on BearShare of this stuff and am really digging it. Good show guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I used to do Arab mp3 downloads on the internet while smoking but I always get the wildest feeling listening to Jimmy Page & Robert Plant's No Quarter-Unleaded CD. Good , mellow beat while backed by Arab strings. The best of both worlds. Give it a shot. If you don't like it, I'll buy the cd from you, as I need a new one (only one).

Stew Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I've got 25 mp3s on my player as of right now, giving them a listen through. I'll just plug the mp3 player into a set of speakers and let it play on the day of. That is, however, after The Wall has played through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I found this site a while ago, it has some good free mp3's on it. It's mostly music from Bahrain.

RastaCook Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I like alot of different kind of music,I suggest you try Wyclef Jean, whats great about him is that his songs tells stories sometimes and he his very versatile, not until i sat down and listened to the whole cd was i able to appreciate it, his album Ecleftic is excellent because it has different style going from hip hop, to rock , acoustic guitar , reggea , slows ... all with wyclef's style. Listen to Diallo, song he wrote about the murder of an innocent "suspect" that was shot 41 times by 3 or 4 police officer, I also like his first cd, The Carnival , i suggest you get both...Wyclef is now amungst my pile of Best cds which include Sublime and Bob , of course.

nidal105 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi, I usually smoke with smll groups of friends in the evening after work or study so the music is not so upbeat, but i have found that "Cafe Del Mar" has always worked well with Hookah smoking, and if your looking for something more eastern then Naseer Shamma or Munir Bachir are the way to go. Neither will offend against your traditionally minded neighbours as the genre of music is relaxing and mostly instrumental. cya! Nidal105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 It's not the music that our neighbours will be ranting about (I've tried to get them scared of us by playing the loudest, angriest metal we have). It's the fact that they will think that we're smoking weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 **sorry for the double post...but** If we play sublime and the likes, they will automatically think it's weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lytic Cycle Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I usually smoke with Pink Floyd and bands that use a lot of atomsphere, like God Speed You Black Emperor!, Porcupine Tree, Agalloch, Radiohead, Isis, Blut Aus Nord, and many more.

mushrat Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I smoke outside most often...where we are serenaded by the sounds of the great outdoors. You know, that peaceful mix of frogs,crickets,small furry creatures, and of course...the wild american automobile! JD: I DO like that link to the Bahrainian music, thanks for posting that one.

Bane Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I've got a really good suggestion for you I found this CD called "Sahara lounge", put out by Putumayo world music. Do a search in your favorite P2P for "Sahara lounge". I recommend the song called "Sharif", it's a really good one. You should DEFINITELY have this song at your party. Another good CD is called "Buddha Bar". It's a two CD set, one being slightly more upbeat and the other more mellow (though I think they are both very relaxing). Check those out, you will not be disappointed! ~Bane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
