Leaving No One Behind

Illusions

Illusion

The song is a cover of ‘Foi No Mês Que Vem’ which I produced, and is originally by Brazilian composer Vitor Ramil.
I hope Mr. Ramil is not reading this, I have to admit that I like that version better :)

It is featured in the film “Blank Damour”, by Ali Khodr, Camila Leichter, and Mauro Espíndola.
It was a pleasure working with Ali on his film to back it up with music. Thank you Ali.
The soothing voice of Monà Hallab is just perfect. Thank you Monà.

Foi No Mês Que Vem - Vitor Ramil - Cover

“Ya Hawa” is an homage to the spirit of Spring 2023, a piece of music and a video inspired by this season at Ayani Sound Healing Center -Lebanon, and by some of the sound healing instruments on hand asking to be played.
Spring comes with a boost of energy, manifested into cheerfulness among other things.
We tapped into it playfully with this music and we hope it inspires you to do so.
(That is if you aren’t already in this lighthearted mood!)

Vocals: Aya Hibri - Ayani
Music and Video produced by Carlos Bou Nafeh

Ya Hawa - يا هوا

Winter 2023

One of my favorite old songs from the Andes, a "taquirari" song (traditional Bolivian folklore) written in 1947 by the Bolivian composer Gilberto Rojas Enriquez.
I always wanted to produce it and perform it live.
After keeping it a few years in the drawer, I finally decided to sing it myself. Singing collaborators are still always welcome though!

This track began as a musical piano theme I made a little while before it found its purpose here. It has now become a delicious co-creation with talented friends, each bringing their personal touch and feelings into it.
Each was recorded separately, in different places and moments, never meeting during the process.

The spoken words refer to the sea, a symbol of joy and anger, of giver and taker, of vastness and limitlessness; a major element in Lebanon’s Nature.

I produced and mixed the final track, merging together each contribution into a nice, eclectic music journey. I also “phone-documented” the process to the best of my abilities at the time.
I’m grateful for every note, every collaboration.
Watch, listen, and feel the magic of bringing people together through music.


And expect another video soon - it's processing!
Cheers to more music collaborations!

The Sea - A Collective Music Journey

This track "Fire" began as a simple piano theme, waiting for its purpose. It found its form through collaboration, as my talented friends came together, each adding their unique spark to the flame!

Check out the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_oAuHt4BpxI

One voice sings of finding the fire deep within the soul, a force of resilience and self-discovery. Another sings of the fire of passion, burning with intensity. Every instrument, every note, fuels this journey, connecting us across different places and moments, without artists ever meeting during the process, yet creating something unified.

I produced the track, mixing together these sounds and voices into one musical fire. Along the way, I video-documented the process with whatever I had at the time.

I'm grateful my friends, for every sound, every collaboration.
Watch, listen, and feel the heat of this creation.

Fire - A Collective Music Journey

Interpreted by music producer ‪@carl0s.music and sound healer Ayani
We poured our hearts into this, hoping it reaches yours.

"Without love, all music is noise.
Without love, all dance is madness.
Without love, all worship is a burden." Rumi

This song means a lot to each one of us. More than a song, it’s a joyful feeling, a truth. Love is already here. It’s in everything. It’s in the way we speak, dance, and sing. It’s in the meals we cook, in the way we create, and in the way we touch the world around us.

As Rumi once said, “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it", he was reminding us that love is already within us, waiting to flow freely.

This song is soft, ethereal, simple, and full of bliss, exactly how love would feel. Every note, every word, every sound was created with love.

Drop in the comments your own version or continuation of the poem—
Without Love… (in English or Arabic) and let’s spread love together. ❤️

Without Love - a poem by RUMI - من دون الحب

Melodies that I hear while I'm sleeping, then wake up and try to memorize them by humming them, until they make it here..

Summer 25

A path that can only be walked alone. Create your own story behind the music and sounds - eyes closed optional.

Tribute to all the cats that passed by my house every morning this summer.

It's the 3rd track of a series of tracks, that are a new language to me.
And so this is where the name "Idioma" comes from.
Listen to the other 2!

Another collaboration with singer and songwriter Sherine Raffoul!
We started working on this song a few year ago. It went into deep sleep for another few years, but we revived it now, and finally recorded it in studio!

Sherine is also a filmmaker, and with the help of our friend Ali Khodr, we created a video for it. I will be posting the YouTube link as soon as the video is out.
