Shams

The song refers to the Palestinian-American Author Edward Said, known for his book Orientalism, which speaks about how the west constructed the idea of the so called “orient” as mystical, emotional, uncivilized - while at the same time defining itself as the complete opposite: clear, rational, civilized. Locking these two sides in a logic of duality, the west justifies and legitimize it’s colonial actions. Mechanisms which are still active until this very moment.

Said

Arabic Alternative Electro
Iraq, Baghdad based in Switzerland, Bern

As a displaced person of color who experiences othering on a daily basis, 3YOONI critically addresses identity, language, racism and orientalism in his songs. 3YOONI fuses traditional Arabic rhythms and the echoes of oud arrangements with pulsating electronic beats and warped synthesizers.
