How did the audience react to the return of Yuri Morakadi after an absence of 9 years?

After an absence of about 9 years, Yuri Morakadi released his latest singing work, entitled “I Am Arab,” via a video clip composed of two different musical versions.

This project came after a long break from the artistic scene, as Yuri retired from art in 2006, traveled to Canada, then returned with the song “Please Please” in 2016. After that, he announced his retirement again in 2022.

A strong return for Yuri Mrakadi Despite the absence of the Lebanese artist from the scene for all that period, his return was strong, as he did not follow the old style, so he came in line with the times as if he had not disappeared all those years, as Marakadi radically changed his musical style from his previous works, presenting a completely new artistic departure.

What distinguishes this version is that Yuri Morakadi chose to promote this song in an unconventional artistic way and created two different versions with different types of music used, as the first version is based on rock music and was released at the same time. The second version is geared towards electronic music. Both versions were presented in the form of videos.

“Ana Arabi” brings to mind the song “Arabi Ana,” which was released for the first time 23 years ago, which contributed to the artist’s success and gave him international fame.

The similarity is not only in the name. Just as the first one wrote a new birth certificate for him 23 years ago, the current one writes a strong and different launch that has a completely new style and conveys a different message from the previous one.

Through this song, Yuri Morakadi sends a message to the entire Arab world, stressing the importance of unity and solidarity in facing the political and social challenges facing the region.

He also stressed the importance of peace and brotherhood in building a better world, and criticized the stereotypical image taken by the West, stressing, “I am an Arab, not a terrorist.” The song contains a deep meaning and a realistic projection of daily life in the Arab world, and it comes at a time when we are witnessing great changes and great challenges.

Audience reaction to the song While comments on YouTube praised the strong comeback, saying, “A good comeback, as if you took me back in time 20 years ago, you still maintain the same magic touch.” Another commented, “A very beautiful and attractive song... Bravo, Yuri.” Another wrote, “Great and charming, and your voice is wonderful and the message is great.” "Purposeful."
