Emotionally preparing for Movember, I came across this song from Tony Hanna. No, just kidding, I came across the name of Zak Nassif, the composer behind Tallou Hbabna and wandered off from there.

ghazal spring soundtrack

My locked on repeat spring soundtrack is the sweet ghazal Hangama Hai Kyon Barpa by Ghulam Ali. After a little googling, I found out that the words come down to:
Why all this commotion?
All I did was drink a little.
I didn’t rob anyone,
I didn’t steal anything.
I don’t want the drink,
that makes my heart forget(her)
what I want from this drink
is to enjoy the pain in my heart.
A, spot on the sun, it is the marvels of nature
see these idols call me infidel
it must be Allah’s will.
las casitas de barrio alto
Most interesting to see Malvina Reynold’s “Little Boxes” covered by Victor Jara. Both Malvina and Victor have left us more than 30 years ago, but apparently they still have enough to tell us. Is it time yet to pick up tye dying or macramee?
Taraf de Haidouks
Fallen for the charm of the band of friendly brigands. An explosion of gypsie music washed away the support act in one tenth of a second.
abida
Stumbled upon the stunning voice of Abida Parveen and immensely enjoyed her qawwali interpretations of Sufi poetry. Looking forward to new European tour dates. Never had the opportunity to enjoy a live performance of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, but did have the chance to see (and hear) the Sabri Brothers in Groningen a long, long time ago. A concert that reverberates to the present day.

Always with Me A voice is calling deep inside my heart May I always dream, emotional dreams Tears of sadness, Everytime we fall The road is long and lonely As I bid farewell my heart stops, The wonder of living, A voice is calling Why speak of sadness Whispering voices, A miror broken, Window of beginning, stillness, No need to search outside, I’ve found a brightness, |
