Well I searched for Lotfy's biography and all I found said he was born in Tunisia in 1952 and frankly I can't belive he mastered Arabic and Tnisian accent in few months since he has many arabic songs and Tunisian as I saw since early 90s.

Yes, he was born in Tunisia, but both his parents are Bosnian. About his accent, I have no idea Posts: 3291 | From: I DO believe in Karma! | Registered: Apr 2002

MK Boushnak is not a Tunisian family name, it's Bosnian. As I said before, he was born in Tunis, but his family roots are not Tunisian, they are Bosnian.

But Bushnaq sounds so much like a Northern African name.
Bu = Abu in the way Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians would pronounce it. Shnaq = sounds like it originates from the Arabic word shanaqa, means to hang, pronounced again in the Northern African dialect.
But okay who am I to argue. I know nothing about the man except that his voice alone could have put down the twin towers.

First just let me say that all this info I get from my husband..I don't know a thing about him myself. I had been searching online for some of his songs (Lamoni in particular) because my H loves that song so much. After LaZeeZ's help, I have to agree, his voice and music is wonderful!
His name is a dirivative of Bosniak. He was here a couple of years ago for the Arab Music Festival and at that time sang the song Sarajevo. He stated at that time that he was singing this song for his family who came from Bosnia.
Now for the song Lamoni..H translated it for me, at least most of it and I agree, beautiful lyrics.
We had to watch that clip 20 times, and when I asked him if it (Lamoni) was his originally, he said he would have to see the entire clip before he would answer
I'm guessing it is Posts: 3291 | From: I DO believe in Karma! | Registered: Apr 2002

^^ Oh I've just had a memory clip of him shouting his guts out: "khoooooooooooooooodoooooooo aini shoooofoooo beeeeHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA". When I was still living with my parents, my mom listened to him all the time. She is a big fan too.
Let me explain the lyrics for those who are on romantic mode:
"They blamed me, those who were jealous of me.. They asked me what do you like in her.. I replied; if you really want to know.. Take my eye and see with it.."
A serious case of love.
Lovely!
Although I hate it when I stumble upon the weak-for-sweet-talk cells in me, I have to admit that our culture of songs and literature is the most romantic one there is. Compared to it, Western cultures are so cold and heartless!
