ASK THE DUST

I see the truth in your walk and you ain’t fooling anyone
It’s just a compromise just for everyone
Sweet vomit underneath the dashboard
I see the look in your eyes and you suffer for everyone
Entertain me with your bitter Sundays
Injured merit and a bottle of joy

Bold lover in the city of desire
Dusty and savage
Go ask the dust
If you can’t work it out yet
Oranges and bad shoes
Working out your revelations
Go ask the dust
And go out to die in the sun

Look at the stars, don’t you think they’re smellin’ good tonight?
An inferno of your own creation
Neon tubes, seedy fog and dancehalls
Got given a sweet tongue but can’t talk right now
Fearless in a world of wonder
Nights drunk on whiskey and grief

She came on wings of perfume
Love on a budget
Living is hard enough
So dying must be worse
My heart is full of black ink
Written too quickly
And I’m out of words
So I guess I’ll just ask the dust

Ask The Dust

:الكلمات

يا خويا.. في فتنة في الدار
وفي جمرة... إطفيها.. لاتخليها تلمس جار.. يا جار
في صفقة.. وفي مشروع استثمار
وفي دعوة.. وفي تبشير.. كله حرب على الأفكار.. عالأفكار
حرب على الأفكار.. عالأفكار.. 
يا وطني.. يا عربي.. حط فيك المحتل السم
وحط اللوم على ابن العم..
وأنا ساكت.. وأخويا بحصار
سامحني.. أنا صمتي هو أساس كل الدمار الدمار
أساس كل الدمار.. الدمار.. الدمار
الدمار
وبس.. لو إنه ما في مؤامرة.. قرارات ومبادرات
ولو ما في عالهوا مباشرة تشييع جثمان ومظاهرات
كان ما غنيت يا جار.. يا جار.. يا جار
يا جار
يا خويا.. في فتنة في الدار

Baghdad Choby

Tashkezar's second album, Ew'aa (‘Watch out!’) marks a significant departure from the folk sound of debut Tannura (2016), evoking the sounds of A-WA, 47Soul, TootArd, Kahareb, Bab L’Bluz and Altın Gün, but sitting in a genre all its own. Recorded and mixed during the pandemic in Bristol, UK, Ew'aa playfully explores themes of exclusion, exile, repression and illusion.

Inspired by events in Egypt and across the globe over the past decade, Mariam Ali’s vocals dance a line between fatalism and hope, exploring the juncture at which we all face loss and great challenges. Opening track Ew’aa! calls out the cognitive dissonance of viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses, whilst Sahsah! emboldens us to soldier on, dancing in the face of adversity. Ya Gharib describes feeling and being made to feel out of place in a land not of one’s own choosing. Kullu Mamnou mocks a state of repression where even to live becomes a subversive act, liable to be silenced. Yet I Don’t Believe and Mumkin somehow find love and hope between the cracks of identities fractured by suppression and exile.

Ew'aa collides Middle Eastern Bouzouki, Strings and Percussion with Funk Bass and Horn Section, Synths and Ali's soaring layered vocals. Building on their grounding in Mediterranean folk, Tashkezar have imbibed the sounds of their favourite funk records from 70s Turkey and dance hits from 80s and 90s Egyptian pop, to create a unique new sound.
