Palestinian traditional Arabic singer Salwa Jaradat & Lebanon’s wizard of Electronica Etyen come together for the 2nd release in the Thawra Records & Found Sound Nation co-release series, presenting their 2-track collaborative EP “Galah Waji”, developed during the OneBeat Lebanon music residency, and exploring the themes of mother-tongue, and the use of coded language & symbols in folklore, as a way of resistance against censorship and oppression; themes relevant to the common experience of both artists in their native countries.

Fleeing conflict and oppression in her native Palestine, Salwa Jaradat migrated to Lebanon almost a decade ago, and has become an integral part of the fabric of the local traditional music culture, performing avidly with a number of traditional orchestras and alongside renowned Arab artists and musicians. While this collaboration marks the first non-traditional experiment for the Palestinian native, Etyen however is no stranger to the modern music industry, and has earned the title of “wizard of Electronica” in his local scene since his first foray back in 2014; a fitting title given the artist’s endeavors and achievements over the last decade. Internationally recognized for his forward-thinking musical approach, Etyen has received honors as a Red Bull Music Academy and OneBeat alum’, to name a few, and has performed on three continents, including at Sonar Barcelona, Mutek, and RBMA Montreal festival among other notable appearances.

With “Galah Waji”, the pair each explore their new uncharted territories, marrying the futuristic with the traditional in a clear juxtaposition that embodies the duality of the modern Arab identity.

Irrungen

On croyait le grand raï mort avec le ­déclin de Khaled, Cheb Mami et con­sorts, dans le meilleur des cas réduit à quelques performances vocodées dans les boîtes à chicha des périphéries urbaines. Et voilà qu’il renaît par la voix rauque et enfumée d’un quadragénaire parisien originaire de Sidi Bel Abbès, en Algérie. Trois ans après El Mordjane, disque déjà prometteur, Sofiane Saidi est de retour, accompagné cette fois par Mazalda, un groupe de musiciens lyonnais avec lequel il a déjà électrisé les scènes françaises. En studio, guitares rock et synthés analogiques aux tournures mélismatiques invitent à tournoyer sous les étoiles (el ndjoum en arabe), sur un groove vintage mouillé d’une réverbe intimiste et chaleureuse, qui rappelle moins le raï des années 1990 que celui de la décennie précédente. Car, au-delà de la fête, plus cosmique que stroboscopique, Sofiane Saidi renoue surtout avec l’âpreté des origines, mélangeant batterie et derboukas, flûte électronique et flûte de roseau traditionnelle. Adaptées de vieux morceaux raï, ses chansons suintent le blues, celui que les bergers noyaient autrefois dans la bouteille sous les oliviers. La reprise du Saïda de Cheikha Rimitti qui clôture le disque — un chant de l’exil lancinant — donne des frissons.

I’ve just finished an edit of a Turkish Folk track and decided to give it away as a Free Download for my DJ friends :) 

  The original track is made by a post modern folk band called ‘’Hariçten Gazelciler’’ which was around in early 2000s.   

The name of the singer of the band is ‘’Ömür Kılıçaslan’’ and he is known as the inventor of the instrument called ‘’Çağlama’’.   Çağlama is a revolutionary instrument which has the specs of both guitar and bağlama. So it gives the possibility to play Turkish scales with a guitar like instrument. 

  Unfortunately, Ömür passed away in 2014. But, his legacy lives with his instrument and his songs. 

I wanted to pay a tribute to him and his band with this edit. Hope you enjoy…
