Franco Arabic in music refers to a style similar to modern Arabic Pop where there is a fusion of Arabic and Western music. Leading artists in this genre include Dalida and Aldo who had a couple of huge hits in the mid - late 90's with Yalla and Mish Momkin.
Both can be found in Wikipedia

Hope it helps...great music too by the way

The literal translation is French but in much the same way as the term 'Lingua Franca' it is applied as a generic term for foreign in a western sense

Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively.
