Alex Calder -  Slowing Down

Kuwaiti Samri is Gulf folk music with a gentle 2/4 sway and a soft frame-drum pulse. In many gatherings you hear interlocking handclaps and chant-like refrains that rise and settle with a warm communal feel. This piece offers a modern instrumental take that features violin as a surrogate for the genre’s lead vocals. The usual call and response is set aside so the core sway remains, carried by a singing melodic line while a quiet frame drum keeps time. The result is intimate and cyclical, with phrases that lean into the beat, float above it, and return to the theme for a calm, hypnotic flow. It gives first-time listeners a clear window into Samri’s rhythmic heart without the crowd energy that typically surrounds it.

[CREATIVE NOTE]
This arrangement adopts the violin as the principal melodic voice throughout, drawing on the Kuwaiti ṣawt tradition to stand in for Samri’s vocal line. Violin is not standard in classic Samri settings. Its use here is an intentional compositional choice that preserves the style’s gentle sway and measured cadence while presenting the melody instrumentally for clarity and learning.

Have A Spirit Filled

Elan Noon - Please Hold

I compiled this little playlist for those absolutely in love with The Voidz's jams as I am.  @thevoidzofficial touches many people's hearts all over the world, through music, politics, and the light that shines so bright from 6 incredibly gifted musicians. Every fan I've talked to, the music had reached them at the dark part of their life, and brought them back to better days. Thank you for giving us goosebumps on a daily bases and pushing the envelope of modern music. We love you and look forward to new creations.  Jerry Garcia would be proud :)
