HABIBI DA - SALIAH REMIX

I've been working on a series of posters with portraits of musicians and singers I admire from,roughly, the Global South or more precisely, the stretch of earth all the way from Morocco to Bangladesh. These portraits are now on show in the art space 38CC in Delft and were also featured at the Cairo Comics festival in 2023 and on the facade of pop-temple Paradiso in Amsterdam. This mix strings together one track by each of the 37 artists. Tracklist follows!

A musical hurricane rooted in Moroccan soil, Cheb Runner is a DJ, composer and producer who represents a new sound of in-betweenness, nurtured by a diverse array of musical influences that run back and forth in time. His sets often feature first-hand recordings from his expansive sample pack of traditional instrumentals.

For his select set, Cheb Runner delivers a playful analog mix, supported by a unique set of synthesisers, where traditional Maghrebi sounds and shaabi rhythms pulse through deep techno, disco and Dutch gabber. 

Select 332: Mixed by Cheb Runner

أغنية كل ما بشوفك لصباح

والارض اللي بتمشي عليها
عم بحلم تأوصل ليها
وأزرع قلبي حواليها
وقضي عمري انا واهلا
جننت الناس بأوصافك
وبسحر البسمه العشفافك
وقلبي من يوم اللي شافك
فتح بابه وقالك أهلا

مشوار في التاكسي - مع صباح وجننت الناس بأوصافك

From the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of The Return comes a profoundly moving contemplation of the relationship between art and life. &#160; After finishing his powerful memoir The Return, Hisham Matar, seeking solace and pleasure, traveled to Siena, Italy. Always finding comfort and clarity in great art, Matar immersed himself in eight significant works from the Sienese School of painting, which flourished from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Artists whom he had admired throughout his life, such as Duccio and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, evoke earlier engagements he has had with works by Caravaggio and Poussin, and the personal experiences that surrounded those moments. Complete with gorgeous full-color reproductions of the artworks,&#160;A Month in Siena is about what occurred between Matar, those paintings, and the city. That month would be an extraordinary period in Matar&rsquo;s life: an exploration of how art can console and disturb in equal measure, as well as an intimate encounter with the city and its inhabitants. This is a gorgeous meditation on how centuries-old art can illuminate our own inner landscape&mdash;current relationships, long-lasting love, grief, intimacy, and solitude&mdash;and shed further light on the present world around us.
