Ah Ya Zein (Afro Dabke Style) - اه يا زين العابدين

Asfour عصفور

في ظلمات الجسد الملتهمة، تتحرك الألوان مثقلةً بعبء الراحة المتزايدة والجشع المادي. تنبثق الكلمات لتتحدث وتتوسّل من أجل الوحدة: من أجل الاندماج، من أجل الامتزاج. يسعى النور لأن يشتعل من جديد، متوسّلًا العون.

تصير آلات الترومبون وسائط للسفر عبر هذا النور، حاملةً تقنية غنائية جديدة مستوحاه من الباروك داخل غلاف ذهبي، في فعل يضخّ الأمل باستخدام لونين رمزيّين: الأخضر والبنفسجي. هذان اللونان يرمزان إلى مشاعر إنسانية طواها النسيان منذ زمن بعيد.

تحمل الأغنية عنوان الرقصة الداخلية للبطن، وقد كُتبت أيضًا بالإيطالية، وُلدت من شغف عبد الله منياوي بهذه اللغة والقرابة الإلهية التي تربطها بدانتي. إنها رحلة سماوية افتراضية تبدأ من الداخل؛ فطريق الأنبياء ينشأ من الهمسة الداخلية للّون، من صوت خافت. وتُعد هذه الأغنية الإسهام الثاني باللغة الإيطالية بعد قصيدة "بياتريتشي" التي كتبها وأدّاها "ميناوي" في ألبومه السابق أنيجم النجم.

يبلغ المشروع ذروته في كورال مؤلف من هويات صوتية مختلفة لبنانية ومصرية وفرنسية، يخترق حدود اللغة، ويُنتج وحدة صوتية نبحث عنها في أيامنا هذه، بعيدًا عن أقفاص الإنترنت وتعقيدات الهوية.

Within the devouring darkness of the body, colors stir burdened by the growing weight of comfort and material greed. Words emerge to speak and plead for unity: for fusion, for intermingling. Light seeks to ignite once more, begging for help.

Trombones become vessels of travel through this light, embedding a new vocal technique inspired from baroque within a golden shell an act that pumps hope into the use of two symbolic colors: green and violet. These hues signify long-forgotten human emotions.

The song is titled Internal Belly Dance and in Italian, too born of the Miniawy's passion for the language and the divine kinship it shares with Dante. This is a hypothetical celestial journey that begins from within. The path of the prophets originates internally from the whisper of color, from a faint voice. To be the second contribution in Italian language after Beatrice poem written and performed by Miniawy released in his previous album Nigma Enigma.

The project culminates in a choir composed of Lebanese, Egyptian, and French voices, breaking through the boundaries of language and creating a sonic unity that we search for in our modern days far from internet cages, and identities complex.

NEW ALBUM "TESLAM", out NOW on Abduction 

The Invisible Hands is a transcontinental collaboration between Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls) and four stellar young musicians from Cairo, Egypt: Cherif El-Masri, Aya Hemeda (both formerly of the popular Egyptian group Eskenderella), Adham Zidan and Magued Nagati. On Teslam, The Invisible Hands expand the already panoramic range of their eponymous debut LP with a haunting set of melodic, impeccably crafted songs whose vintage psych/hard-rock edge conjures up early Alice Cooper almost as often as it recalls Sun City Girls and 20th-century icons like Ennio Morricone and Serge Gainsbourg. The band's exquisite sonic palette is deepened by Cairo-based guest musicians Mohamed Ibrahim, Mohamed 'Moe' Asem, and Sammy Sayed, as well as by longtime SCG compatriot Eyvind Kang. Recorded in Cairo between 2013 and 2014, Teslam represents a further evolution of Alvarius B.'s peerlessly idiosyncratic pop sensibility, which is just as volatile and unclassifiable as his more experimental work. His songwriting -- both on his own, and in partnership with Cherif El-Masri -- is marked by a unity of purpose that has compressed countless musical and emotional incongruities into a handful of sharp-edged, pitch-black jewels. A brooding track composed by keyboardist Adham Zidan ('The Great Implosion') perfectly complements the record's uneasy mood. As usual, Alvarius B.'s lyrics comprise an apocalyptic pile-up of cruel metaphors at the intersection of culture, politics and international crime. But they take on new power and new implications as sung by El-Masri and Hemeda, whose seductive voices are as inviting as a welcome mat at the gates of hell. Each song stands on its own while also fitting into a planet-sized jigsaw puzzle detailing dark associations and secret narratives that stretch back as far as the foundation of the world. Arguably Alvarius B.'s most accessible work to date, Teslam is a generously baited steel-jaw trap for the unwary listener. Like The Invisible Hands' 2013 debut, Teslam inevitably reflects the precarious political circumstances in which it was conceived and recorded. As such, it's a vivid document not just of an unlikely musical collaboration, but also of a critical moment of hope, defiance, rage and sorrow in one of the world's most venerable cities. [This limited-edition razor-edged stainless-steel CD comes in a beautiful die cut balsawood jacket that folds out to form a fully operational guillotine. Just kidding, but it does come as a digipak CD with lyrics booklet and lovely artwork]. --B. Kearney
