The famous Italian folk song associated with the Resistance. Dance version! With some Morricone brush strokes. Seen "Money Heist"? That's the main theme..

Bella Ciao

Poem by Maged Zaher from Cairo, read by the author himself.

I wanted to be the philosopher of a barricade
Instead I am stuck like a rat in some divine experience about illness
But somehow I was given wings 
With you, I am on some barricade, blocking both the police and the revolutionaries, and only letting the lovers pass or even spend the night
Ah, they needed an engineer who believes in the dialectic
They took me anyway
We piled cars all night
And burned a couple as the police arrived
Our barricade is beautiful 
It is made of recycled text messages
Rooms for lovers, and even singles
We tried and tried before they shot us and took the living to jail
At the burning barricades you learn that
Saving is a two way street
The ones you save, shall save you
I remember going out with this ambassador daughter
We couldn't get over her aristocracy or my bohemianism 
But she showed up at the barricade

Have To Go

The Popsicle Sticks self-titled debut album is a collaboration between Italian composer Dario Argentesi (Dazza), and Cairo-based American artist Clinton Alexander (Klinto). 
This project makes use of BandLab to compose, and smartphones to record and create videos, parring down production to the most basic tools. We believe that employing these limited platforms leaves room for an intense imaginative flourish during the creative process. 
The final result is an album that is uniquely authentic-melding both of our influences, dispositions, and particular skills into an organic, yet unified immersive experience unlike no other!
