Mashrou' Leila - Ra2sok - Album Ra2sok

 نبضه بيدق إيقاع كان يسمعله قبل ما استأصلوه
 وركبوا عداد مصمم ع ما راق لهم بمحل قلبه 
طاردوك وهذبوك.. ركعوك ودربوك
 تتحرك زيهم
 بالإيقاع إستعبدوك.. برمجوك وعلموك
كيف ترقص زيهم
 صورتك عم تتلف بالمخفي اذبحها لتحرر ضميرك
 كان في خيار وإنت رقصت
 كنا أحرار ورقصت
 كان في خيار وإنت رقصت
 بالإنتحار وإنت رقصت
 طاردوك وهذبوك.. ركعوك ودربوك
 تتحرك زيهم
 بالإيقاع إستعبدوك.. برمجوك وعلموك
 كيف ترقص زيهم
 صورتك عم تتلف بالمخفي اذبحها لتحرر ضميرك

A PLACE FOR YOU ! A tribute To Gil Scott Heron 
Gil Scott Heron nous a quitté en 2011. Sa musique et son message nous ont marqué à jamais. 
A l'annonce de son décès nous avons écrit et enregistré en une nuit un morceau hommage nommé « A place for you ! ». 
Rejoints par des proches et amis musiciens concernés, sur un riff de « Inner City Blues » de Marvin Gaye, nous chantons un refrain hommage à Gil Scott Heron et lui empruntons un texte extrait de « I Think I'll Call It Morning ». 
 
« L’homme est parti, Le message reste ». Sandra Nkaké et Jî Drû.

- مركب البعاد واخدانا .... تلف بلاد وبلاد سارقانا
مش باقي غير ذكريات تعبانة ....ياريت هموم الدنيا سايبانا
- طوق النجاه كان حلمنا .... وفجأة ضاع مننا
-إيه اللي تاني فاضلنا .... غير عمر عدى مننا
- وبتصعب عليا نفسي لما اكون لوحدي في يوم طويل
وصوت الحزن أقوى عندي وجرح قديم مايتنسيش
- غريب أنا غريب في الأيام الطوال .... نفسي اشوف لآخر ليلي نهار
واشوف حياه من غير دمار .... وأبدأ حياتي من جديد مش اضطرار
- أنا شكلي بضيع وياما نفسي ابيع .... روحي وكياني لهمسة صادقة
-تهدي الروح وقلبي المجروح .... من مكر وكيد وذل الوحدة
- وبتصعب عليا نفسي لما اكون لوحدي في يوم طويل
وصوت الحزن أقوى عندي وجرح قديم مايتنسيش

the departure boat is taking us
through countries, owning us
nothing more than withered memories remain
not even life burdens would leave us be
salvation was our dream 
and suddenly it flew away
what's more left for us
other than the years we've lost?
 and i mourn myself when i'm alone in an endless day 
and the sound of sorrow is loudest within 
and an old unhealing wound 
a stranger i am in lengthy days ....
 i wish to see dawn in my dusk
 and to see a life without devastation 
... and to start a life i've longed for 
i feel lost. how i long to sell
 my self  to a moment of clarity
 that cures my soul and wounded heart
 from the deception and humiliation of loneliness

other than the years we've lost?
 and i mourn myself when i'm alone in an endless day 
and the sound of sorrow is loudest within

Following the events that occurred in several countries and closer to us in Paris and in response to the media and community’s reactions, we have decided to gather around between friends and record a version of Los Hermanos, written by Atahualpa Yupanqui, to advocate the importance of being united. Hatred breeds hatred. War breeds war.

The Game

Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's debut album Mir'ah (Mirror) was released in 2008. Recorded with a group of Palestinian and Egyptian performers, the record’s seven turbulent, entrancing and sometimes frenzied songs were written during a turbulent period of demonstrations, bombardment and invasion of Palestinian cities. Composed during curfews, the album expresses everyday human emotions – love, hate, comfort, boredom, excitement – that were informed by the unreal experience of living in Palestine during that period.

With a longing for an idealised pre-war Beirut, Safar Barlik explores the feelings towards the city and it's long lost Golden Age. 

Que de nostalgie pour un Beirut d'avant guerre idealisé, Safar Barlik explore les sentiments vis-à-vis de la ville et de son âge d’or longtemps perdu.

Safar Barlik - EP - 05 PasPourMoi

Lebanese outfit sandmoon offers an original take on indie folk-pop, infusing it with subtle Middle-Eastern intonations and melancholy, and a certain timelessness. Singer-songwriter Sandra Arslanian, who initiated the project, was born in Lebanon, raised in Belgium and has Armenian roots – a contrasted blend that is perceptible in the music. 

They released a first album “Home” in 2014, an EP “#IntheEnd” in 2016 and in 2018, a 3-song EP “Beirut-Berlin Session” produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey…). 

In 2016, sandmoon also wrote the original soundtrack to Lebanese director, Philippe Aractingi’s feature film ‘Listen’, which received the Award for Best Soundtrack at the Lebanese Movie Awards 2017.  

Sandmoon will be releasing their second album, “Put a Gun/Commotion” produced by Fadi Tabbal in Spring 2020. Stay tuned.

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

“One of the more alluring outfits to emerge in the region over the past decade” according to Cairo Scene. 

“Characterized by sophisticated orchestration and folk-infused songwriting, Middle-Eastern inspired elements supporting Arslanian's sweetly quavering voice,” wrote IndieShuffle. 

“Each release brings slightly different colors and emotions – but always great melodies,“ wrote Beehype.

"The band has some thought-provoking dualities at its core, not only looking East and West culturally, but also to the past, present and future for musical inspiration" according to Analogue Trash.
