BAHER // Full Album on Bandcamp: https://rayessbek.bandcamp.com/album/baher
I composed this album during the last end of the world. Not the current one, but the one before. The fourth or the fifth... I lost count. Maybe before fascism took over Europe, or before the Beirut port exploded, I'm not sure. This is not a celebration of the apocalypse, nor a shamanic dance. It's a dive into the distant past, around the 1930s, I think. It was the age of the first recordings in the Arab world, while my grandparents were still living in Palestine, before they were massacred or deported, before their own end of the world.
These are fragments of lost, forgotten recordings that I found in the sand by the sea. I pieced them together as much as I could with the only glue I had: analog sound machines, more or less recent. Who were these voices ? I have no idea. Well, sometimes I have a fragment of information, a title, a name, a date. But most of the time, I just listen and my fingers start to move gently. When I squint my eyes, it's because I see something I can't describe, but it's there, and it makes me want to inhabit the song, to live in it for days.

J'ai composé cet album lors de la dernière fin du monde. Non pas celle que nous vivons actuellement, mais celle d'avant. La quatrième ou la cinquième... je ne les compte plus. Peut-être avant que le fascisme ne contrôle l'Europe, ou avant l'explosion du port de Beyrouth, je ne suis plus sûr. Ce n'est pas une célébration de l'apocalypse, ni une danse chamanique. C'est plutôt un plongeon dans un passé lointain, vers les années 1930, il me semble. C'était l'époque des premiers enregistrements dans le monde arabe, lorsque mes grands-parents vivaient encore en Palestine, avant d'être massacrés ou déportés, avant leur propre fin du monde.
Ce sont des morceaux d'enregistrements perdus, oubliés, que j'ai retrouvés dans le sable au bord de la mer. J'ai recollé ces morceaux du mieux que j'ai pu avec la colle que j'avais : des machines sonores analogiques, plus ou moins récentes. Qui étaient ces chanteuses et chanteurs ? Je n'en sais rien. Enfin si, des fois j'ai une bribe d'information, un titre, un nom, une date. Mais la plupart du temps, j'écoute et mes doigts se mettent à bouger doucement. Lorsque je plisse les yeux, c'est que je vois quelque chose que je ne peux pas décrire, mais qui est là et qui me donne envie d'habiter cette chanson, d'y vivre pendant des jours.

lyrics:
براقب برايا وجوايا عشن أفهم صلة الوصل بيني وبين الكون ..بحب جسمي وإسمي وهوس الحب بجنون  ..وأحب الزرع والحيوان والبص في عيون أطفال لسة متلوثتش.. عشن أحافظ على الهدوء بنيت سور من ورد بيني وبين أي حد ممكن في بعض الأوقات أزقلك وردة من ناحيتي أو تحطلي وردة من ناحيتك لكن مش بهد السد...بسامح نفسي لما تكره ، تغلط وأستقبل الأمور بسلاسة .أحب الخطوط والدواير لما يخلقوا  رسم وأحب الأوتار والمفاتيح لما يخلقوا صوت وأحب الحروف لما تخلق شِعر...وأحب السلام والإنهزام والبص للسما والذكريات .. وأحب المدينة بالزيف اللي ماليها وكهارب النور يعم .. بحب السيما وأحب الله يعم

One of the most unique allround popartists of the Arab 80’s and early 90’s is the beautiful Simone. Her songs are very light and happy! She covered a lot of western popsongs in Arabic, but her original songs are very cool as well! This taxi song is an Arabic cover of the song Frankie by Sister Sledge, but she didn’t use the instrumental of that song. The instruments were re-produced which gave it a totally different feel. This song has a higher pitch than the Sister Sledge original that better suits Simone’s voice. This song feels very youthfull, that although it’s from ’87 I feel like it is very contemporary. It’s a piece about a girl who is trying to stop a taxi so she won’t be late for her date. Timeless!
