Live on Ibiza Global Radio (Aug 20th 2021)

A special set played at Middle East's largest music festival - MDL Beast. 

One of my very few Afro House sets which I enjoyed mixing at this special occasion. I named the set "Gwara Gwara" after a famous South African dance to reflect its energy.

The set is a mix of latin, afro, and melodic sounds building up slowly and peaking midway throughout the set.

"Ghenwa & Laila” is a Lebanese duo composed of musician Ghenwa NemNom and Dj Laila Sarkis, aka Djette. The two started a collaboration in 2020 and cultivated their signature sound by fusing the traditional Qanun (an Arabic string instrument and descendant of the old Egyptian harp) with deep electronic dance rhythms.

Ghenwa joined the National Lebanese Conservatory at eight years old, where she learned to master the Qanun. She continued her artistic journey at Oakland University in Michigan a decade later. Ghenwa is challenging the status quo and paving the way for an instrument that may be considered old-fashioned and limited to the traditional oriental music scene.

Djette has been making noise on the Beirut Dj scene since the early 2000s; she is notorious for her smile, good energy, and wide music selection. Djette is also a co-founder of Beirut’s legendary “Cotton Candy” party. She has held multiple club residencies over the decades in The Basement, Centrale, The Grand Factory, Garten, Skybar and Iris, to name a few.

As a duo, “Ghenwa & Laila” successfully crafted a unique musical experience for their audience in the SWANA region. Their heart is now set on taking this project West. The duo also aspires to inspire young girls in their region to pursue their artistic dreams.

Certain forms of expression intrinsically link these two phenomena: sound and word. Is this to go so far as to say that the evolution of language corresponds to a similar evolution of music?
Music is, in fact, 'extra-musical' in the sense that poetry is 'extra-verbal', since notes, like words, have emotional connotations....Music functions as a language of the emotions.
