خُيولي 
أخَفُّ مِنَ الرِّيحِ 

سَنابِكُها تَقدَحُ الشَّراراتِ 
إذْ نَدْخُلُ المُدُنَ 

الحَرْبُ تَسْتَلقي 
كالعَروسِ بِإنتِظاري 

والحَتْفُ يَتَكلَّمُ بِاسمي 
فأنا هولاكو: 

سَيْفٌ في غِمدهِ لا يَسْتَريحُ 

ظِلّهُ أَينَما ارْتَمى 
يَستَنسِلُ غَيْمَةً مِنَ العُقبانِ الجائِعَة 
تطفو فوق البيوت 

حيثُ يَراني 
اللاجئونَ في 
كَوابيسِهِم بَينَ الخَرائِبِ 

- شعر لسركون بولص (١٩٤٤-٢٠٠٧). الترجمة الانجليزية لناريمان يوسف 

-------------------- 

My stallions 
are lighter than the wind. 

The fire of their hooves 
singes the earth 
as we enter the cities. 

War reclines, 
a submissive bride at my call, 
and Death speaks in my name, 
for I am Hulagu: 

a sword untiring, 
its shadow, wherever it falls, 
begets a cloud of hungry vultures 
that circle the houses 
where refugees 
see me in their nightmares 
among the ruins. 

- Poem by Sargon Boulus (1944-2007). English translation by Nariman Youssef.

مالفّدة

مالفّدة شي ما يتعّدى
صاحي ولا مخمور
مالْقلق راسك يتْفلق
لا دوا ينفع لا بخور
وين تمشي تضربك الحيوط
وتقعد تدور تدور تدور

مالكّبي تفّرغ وتعّبي
Toutes les nuits, tous les jours
وكان زهيت يهّدو عليك الرهوط
تقوم تهرب وتدور تدور تدور

تزبريطه تجي ڤنوط
ترّصيلك تدور تدور تدور
تدور كي الزربوط
وتطيح ماكلكّبوط

FROM BOREDOM
From boredom, nothing survives 
sober or inebriated.
Your head explodes from torpidity, 
neither remedy nor incense
have any effect. 

Wherever you go,
you bounce between the walls. 
You find yourself
turning, turning, turning...

You’re over flowing with bad luck, 
every night, every day. 
And should you rejoice
the sky falls in on you.
You get up, flee
and turn, turn, turn...

One drink and you’re off 
turning,turning,turning... 
like a spinning wheel. 
Then you fall!
Taking a beating.

DE L’ENNUI
De l’ennui, rien ne réchappe,
sobre ou enivré.
De la torpeur, ta tête explose, 
ni remède, ni encens n’ont d’effet. 
Où que tu ailles, t’es au pied du mur, 
et tu te retrouves
à tourner, tourner, tourner...

De la guigne, tu es rempli. 
Toutes les nuits, tous les jours. 
Et si jamais tu te réjouis,
les tuiles te tombent dessus. 
Tu te lèves, fuis
et tu tournes, tournes, tournes...

Une beuverie et tu es parti 
Et tu tournes encore, encore, 
Tu tournes tel une toupie 
Jusqu’àtomber!
T’as pris une sacrée raclée !

****************

The Dwarfs of East Agouza is a trio from Cairo, Egypt, featuring Maurice Louca (Alif, Bikya), Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands, Alvarius B.).

Born during 2012 when the three were living in the same apartment building in Cairo’s Agouza district, the trio’s instrumental improvisation-based explorations are propelled by Louca’s North African percussion loops and shimmering keys, Shalabi’s West African tinged free jazz guitar and grounded by Bishop’s driving Krautrock-style acoustic bass.

Following many a late night jam session, the band recorded hours of material during a three-day studio run in April 2014. After compiling and mixing the album in Montreal’s Break Glass studio in July 2015, the refined result will be released as a double-album titled Bes via Nawa Recordings (NAWA005) on 2xLP, 2xCD and DL on 29 April 2016.

Named after the Ancient Egyptian dwarf deity who was worshiped as the defender of all things good and enemy of all that is bad, Bes captures the trio on a hypnotic yet unpredictable journey. From the the lilt of four-minute ethiopian tinged Resinance to the 30-minute free-form epic Museum of Stranglers, the album skirts the outer limits of a psychedelic soundtrack to a North African road trip.

Bes by The Dwarfs of East Agouza will be available on CD, black & limited edition coloured 12” vinyl LP and download, including Mastered for iTunes and lossless high-definition 24-bit/96kHz audio files.

The album artwork features a reproduction of an ancient Egyptian carving of the dwarf god Bes, painted by Egyptian artist Raafat Al-Kordy, designed by Iraqi-Palestinian graphic designer and illustrator Sara Sukhun.

Come let's sing a song of hope and love.

Enough of separation.

Come before we get old and love dies.

You're the﻿ love, you're the hope.

I'd spare you with my﻿ life.

As tomorrow is full of dreams, love, kisses and hope ..

SOAPKILLS -Yasmine Hamdan- TANGO -  تانجو الامل

16 artistes d’aujourd’hui, venus du monde entier, revisitent, en versions inédites et
dans leur langue natale, l'oeuvre intemporelle et sans frontière du maitre à
moustache !

Suite au superbe accueil, public et critique, de la compilation "Brassens, échos du monde" (parue en avril 2011), et dans laquelle on retrouvait trois inédits (dont celui de Danyel Waro), le label Fanon poursuit son travail de défrichage créatif autour de l’oeuvre de cet artiste français majeur du 20ème siècle. Dans le premier tome, Fanfare cubaine, jazz polonais, maloya réunionnais, swing new orleans, folk russe, musique 8 bit montraient l'universalité des thèmes et des mélodies de Brassens.
"Brassens Echos d’aujourd’hui" n’est pas un simple volume 2. Pour Emile Omar co-programmateur de Radio Nova et concepteur du projet), l'idée était de souligner encore un peu plus le caractère intemporel de cette oeuvre en proposant à des artistes étrangers contemporains qui ne connaissaient pas forcement Georges Brassens de revisiter une chanson du répertoire à leur manière, tout en les accompagnant dans la direction
artistique. De l’Argentine au Liban, en passant par Haïti, la Mongolie, la Colombie, l’Angleterre, le Brésil, la Suède, les États-Unis, Trinidad… chaque artiste chante dans sa langue et sa musique ce qui donne à certaines interprétations un côté surprenant et totalement inédit.
Au total, seize morceaux, créés exclusivement pour cette compilation, qui mettent en évidence la modernité et l’intemporalité de cette oeuvre unique. "Brassens, échos d'aujourd'hui" s'inscrit dans la dynamique du jeune label explorateur Fanon records.

Aux commandes, Emile Omar (encore lui !), avec la minutie d’un artisan passionné, mène des projets sonores à l’esthétique pure et aboutie. Roseaux feat. Aloe Blacc, projet en licence chez Tôt ou Tard sorti en novembre dernier en est le parfait exemple. Ces chansons/reprises sont des trésors qui ont atteint les sommets de vente, preuve que les oreilles du public ont toujours besoin de beauté.
