Tarab Dub

Chmisha ft Oum

Some time ago I worked for a Berlin based NGO called MICT while running Jakarta Records. During this time I helped organize a recording session in Tunisia with 9 female singers and musicians from Tunisia, Libya & Egypt together with Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of The Knife. "Nouh Al Hamam" by egyptian singer Maryam Saleh is the first leak of the project. You can pre-order the vinyl here. Below you can find the infos for this project....

A little less then three years ago the political situation in many countries of the Arab world changed dramatically. Uprisings started in rural areas of Tunisia and from there spread to various countries in the region. Millions gathered in the streets united by their demand for more democracy, rights and participation in the political process. In most cases the reaction of the governing dictators were relentless and severe towards every form of protests. Violence in the streets of Cairo, Tunis and Bengasi escalated and resulted in the overthrow of the governments in Tunisia, Egypt and Lybia.
A year later a group of female singers and musicians from Tunisia (Nawel Ben Kraiem, Badiaa Bouhrizi, Medusa, Houwaida), Libya (Nada) and Egypt (Donia Massoud, Maryam Saleh, Youssra El Hawary) met in Mohsen Matri Studio in Tunis to sing- against corruption, despotism, patronization and narrow-mindedness. The song with Syrian artist Rasha Rizk was recorded some months later in her political asylum in Cairo. Sudanese/American producer Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of the Swedish pop duo The Knife joined the session, participating in the creation of the musical backdrop as well as the often multi-instrumentalist female singers. For the vinyl edition producers such as Brenk, Blackjoy and Blundetto contributed remix versions of the project.

At the time and still today especially musicians and especially women were and are trapped in a spiral of repression, discrimination and violence. "Sawtuha" (Arabic for "her voice"), the album that is the product of the 2-week session, is a vital encouraging testament of rebellion against the repression of democratic rights, gender inequality, and lack of inclusion. The music is an organic mixture of traditional Arabic music, regional influences and various forms of contemporary Western musical genres. A mixture that may sound contradicting at first but makes total sense once you listen to the music.

The studio session was organized by the Berlin based NGO MICT (Media In Cooperation And Transition) and was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

تعالى نشدو المنى والغرام
 كفانا البعد هيام
 تعالى قبل انقضاء الشباب 
وموت الحب وانقطاع الرجاء 
أنت الهوى أنت ملئ الأماني 
حياتي أنت فداك أنت 
دنيا الغدا أحلام الغدا
 والقبل وكل الأمل

Album « Ya Balad » 
Release date : October 19th, 2015 

Lemon, poem by Samir Saadi : 

لَمُون 
طَاب اللَّمُون عَالشَّجر
يَا مِين يهِزّ الشَّجر
لما رواه المطر
عَبِّي بِحِجرو
مَحلاك يَا لِيل القَمَر
لَمَّا حَبيبي ظهر
يَا مين يهزّ القَمر
وعنِيه ضِيَا بَدْرُو
زَهْر اللَّمون عَالشَّجر
هَزّ القلوب الحَجر
نُوَّارُو لما بدر
شَمِّيت هَوَا عِطْرُو

The lemons are ripe on the tree
And whoever shakes the tree
after it has been watered by rain
will fill his lap with lemons
How beautiful you are , night of the moon
when my love appeared
And whoever shakes the moon 
his eyes are the moonlight
The lemon tree blossoms
shock the rocky hearts
When its flowers appeared
i smelled its perfume s love

LEMON - لَمُون  (Feat. Yolla Khalife) يولا و بشار مار خليفة

From the album 'eyeamsound', available worldwide 02.06.15

أنا بدون من أنت تكون
أنا بدون لست العدو

فاقدون نفسهم 
غارقون في نقودهم
كثيرون يقولون لي عوم
و كيف أعوم و أنا المظلوم
و من سجون عيونهم 
أنا منكم أنا فيكم
و احذروا لا تسمعوا
غافلون يوسوسوا
ناظروا في ضعفهم
من عموق قلوبكم
و قولوا

أنا بدون من أنت تكون
أنا بدون لست العدو
أنا بدون من أنت تكون
أنا بدون لست العدو

آن الأوان يالعاقلون
أن تجلبوا حلول
على الذين ينكرون
إني كنت إنسان
عازليني من تاريخكم
غارقيني في سواد نفطكم 
فأرا أنا في الظل
أحيا على التسمم 
و ما ذقتم التسمم 
هالفساد يبغى تهدم
فقولوا معي لا تخجلوا
أنا بدون لست منكم

أنا بدون من أنت تكون
أنا بدون لست العدو
أنا بدون من أنت تكون
أنا بدون لست العدو

واللي يقول إني العدو
أنا أقول إني بدون
أنا أقول إني بدون
أنا بدون لست العدو

"O day, arise! The atoms are dancing.
Thanks to Him the universe is dancing.
The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy.
I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them.
All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they seem insane.
Every single atom, happy or miserable,
Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said."
(poem of the atoms)

Thank you all at burning man. i will never forget this time.

Rampue - Live At Robot Heart - Burning Man 2015

This year I decided to go to Burning Man for only four days as I wanted to see other places before getting there, places which were like the opposite of the dusty Playa.

Those were four really intense days!

All I know is the first time I opened the door of my RV to ride my bike to go say "hello" to the man, I saw a shooting star in the sky...

I knew it was going to be a good year, and so it was!

I want to thank everyone that made this year the best. Each single soul I met who I laughed, talked and exchanged eye contact with!

Each single sun ...

Thank u

During their recent South African Fall Tour 2015, SKIP&DIE dedicated time between shows to develop and run workshops and recording sessions for youth affiliated with NGO Young in Prison's post-release program, in both Johannesburg and Cape Town. 
The groups of youngsters, recently released from prison after facing time for diverse crimes, were given the opportunity to get involved in a pro-active creative music program in order to help support and inspire their way back into society.

SKIP&DIE shared with them their knowledge of the music making process, with an aim at the importance of group-collaboration in creation, as well as a hands-on session focusing on the beauty and simplicity of making instruments out of scrap material. In Cape Town, the youngsters were additionally invited to record a song with both the band as well as local hip-hop legend Jack Parow. Their song, ‘Rising Up!’ will be released by SKIP&DIE on www.RedBull.tv/music, alongside the mini-documentary 'A Journey of Sounds', produced by Red Bull NL.
