Subject:Dialect literature query

Dear colleagues,

I am curious to know: is there is any academic study, in the U.S. or  
elsewhere of the dialect poetry that appears in song lyrics in the  
Arab world?  I have designed an advanced Arabic dialect course based  
on Um Kalthoum and Fairuz-Rahbani lyrics. But I wish I knew more about  
the literary and musical dimensions of these works, not to mention the  
social, political etc.

Best Regards
