like drugs .. or a dream on the other side of world ... awesome

over the moon

"adsız yerlerden geldim
toprağım yok
anavatanım belirsiz

ateşler yakıyorum parmaklarımla
ve sana şarkılar söylüyorum kalbimle
yürek telim gönül yakıyor

alamo'da doğdum
yerim yok, toprağım yok, yurdum yok

böyledir, bizim (çingene) kadınlarımız
acınla şarkını söylediğinde
seni darmadağın eder"

ونعيد ونعيد ونعيد

فينا ننطر الفجر لنخلص عد النجوم
ونعيد ونعيد ونعيد
فينا نحمل الصخر فوق الجبل ونرميه
ونعيد ونعيد ونعيد
فينا نفتح عينينا لما يرموا فيها تراب
قل لهم لسا شايفين
فينا نرفض نأكل بعض ولو الناس شافت عظامنا
قل لهم مش جيعانين

فينا نزعزع لينهار القفص يللي صرناه
قل لي من شو خايفين
فينا نقاوم ليهلك الخيال اللي حاربناه
قل لهم لسا صامدين
فينا نحلق فينا نطير لما نرضى بالزحف
إذا منحمل الشتي المصير يجي الربيع
قل لهم لسا واقفين

قل لهم لسا واقفين. قل لهم لسا صامدين
قل لهم لسا شايفين. قل لهم مش جيعانين
قل لهم لسا صامدين قل لهم مش جيعانين

Written and arranged this track for Oi Va Voi - received consistent radio play across Europe and USA.

Oi Va Voi - Yuri

“Because of You” is a heartfelt collection of songs that reflect the transforming power of love, grace, and gratitude. Each track tells a story of faith, healing, and hope — moments where light breaks through the darkness, and the soul is lifted by divine love. With warm harmonies, gentle instrumentals, and lyrics born from real-life redemption, this album celebrates the beauty of second chances and the peace that comes from walking with Christ.

From quiet reflection to soaring praise, “Because of You” reminds us that every breath, every blessing, and every bit of strength we have… is because of Him.

Arto Tuncboyaciyan - Be Careful (Soundtrack к к/ф Платон)

When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life Lalena
Can't blame ya, Lalena

Arty tart, la de da
Can your heart get much sadder
That's your lot in life Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh Lalena

Run your hands through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh Lalena


Run your hands through your hair
Paint your face, paint your face up with despair
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya, oh Lalena

When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life Lalena
I can't blame ya, oh Lalena

Arty tart, oh so la de da
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder
That's your lot in life Lalena
I can't blame ya, oh Lalena
Lalena, I can't blame ya Lalena

* Move over "I have a Little Dreidel" and "Maoz Tzur"... there is an exciting new sound in the air this Hanukkah. The 8th Annual Sephardic Music Festival will be lighting up the eight nights of Hanukkah in venues around New York from December 8-15. In addition, a Sephardic Music Festival compilation album is scheduled for release on December 11, 2012.

Founded by American-Israeli producer Diwon, the Sephardic Music Festival is the first Jewish music festival to focus exclusively on Sephardic music and culture. It showcases artists from around the world including the latest Mizrahi, Yemenite, and Ladino musical talent. In addition to traditional Sephardic folk music, the festival offers a platform for performers whose music fuses traditional Sephardic rhythms, melodies, and motifs with modern musical styles.

The Sephardic Music Festival’s second compilation album is set for release on December 11. Selections range from traditional Sephardic folk songs to hip hop, electro, and dance music. Album tracks incorporate Jewish liturgical and ceremonial texts, Sabbath songs, and classic love poems, as well as original compositions inspired by traditional themes.

Cheb i Sabbah, among the most talented world-music producers, kicks off the compilation with "Im Ninalou" (If the Doors are Locked), a traditional Yemenite song made famous by the late-great Ofra Chaza.

Israeli club kids Axum blow up the compilation with their energetic "Knowa." Dunkelbunt gives a remix to Marseille-based Watcha Clan, which mixes Balkan brass and Sephardic folk with Gnawa trance and and hip-hop.

DeLeon uses their own distinctive style of rock to transform ancient Sephardic folk music into a sound that is both brand new and centuries old. On Ansi Dize La Novia, DeLeon borrows Manu Chao-esque grooves to convey an ancient tale of a bride being described to a groom. Each of her features is more beautiful than the last just as each of this song's verses is funkier than that which preceded it.

Jerusalem native Mor Karbasi chills out the compilation with her beautiful song titled "Arvoles." The listener can't help but feel that they are floating on a carpet being whisked away as Karbasi sings gently to the accompanying piano.

Tel Aviv's Cohen@Mushon highlights the 90's golden era hip hop sound. Diwon includes a couple of his own tracks including a Middle Eastern instrumental single and a "Maoz Tzur" holiday-inspired song with an LMFAO feel. The latter track features ex-Hasidic, gay rapper Y-Love and Ladino songstress Sarah Aroeste.

Like the Sephardic Music Festival itself, the compilation album highlights the remarkable diversity that exists within the Jewish community. While other Jewish music festivals focus mostly on Ashkenazi tunes, themes, and beats, the Sephardic Music Festival offers a fascinating exploration of Sephardic music and culture from around the world.

مشروع ليلى - اني منيح

Refugee

“...My dream has always been to share the story of my culture with as many people who want to listen. My grandparent’s story, especially accounts of their faith, resilience, and hope despite the many obstacles that they endured, and more recently, the plight of the street children in Armenia - the very children who taught me some of the songs which are now on this album - have inspired me. I long to share these stories with others. And as I pass on this music, these stories to others, I hope that people will be as enriched as I have been.”
