Iele Tyha - 'The Missing Child' (Ayeela Tyha)

I have heard of many different interpretations of this popular lively piece. Here is another one! 

Pronounced "eye ay lee tie ha".  This is another famous tune by Adawe. It is about the labyrinthine streets of Cairo and how professional "child finders" are employed to find missing children. 

This piece describes the missing child -it says GOOD PEOPLE (awlad hallal) - a very respectful way of addressing folk - "Have you seen a  young child wearing a blue nylon blouse? - She  is a real peach (helwa koch) - sete alla sete" (6 out of 6) meaning a real bomb.   

This tune is found on the CD " THE VERY BEST OF ADAWEIA". Check stockists.

I have 3 different versions of this piece, the best one to be found is on ADAWE IN AMERICA, an almost identical version has also been produced by Horatio Cifuentes and and Beata Zadou: The Best of Ya Salaam
