DUBAI: As the world continues its fight against the coronavirus outbreak, Emirati singer Hussain Al-Jassmi has come out with a new song to add some levity to the situation and encourage people to stay at home.
Entitled “Benaady,” the song was published on the singer’s social media and YouTube pages on Friday.
With lyrics penned by Emirati poet Anwar Al-Mashiri and music by Kuwaiti composer Fahad Al-Nasser, the song has amassed nearly 100,000 views on YouTube since its upload.
From singing opera on their balconies to performing online concerts, musicians all around the globe are finding different ways to keep themselves — and others — entertained while self-isolating at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Emirati social media star Rashid Al-Nuaimi has become a viral sensation after taking to his Instagram this past week to upload a coronavirus-themed song about being bored in quarantine.
Meanwhile, countless online videos have captured scenes of Italians under lockdown playing instruments and singing from apartment windows and balconies. Last month, actress Gal Gadot posted her own Instagram video — a montage of celebrities taking turns to croon John Lennon’s “Imagine” into their cellphone cameras.
