ليش نتعارك؟ Leysh Nat’Arak . . .
(English: «Why Are We Fighting») is a song performed by Belgian singer Natacha Atlas. The song was written by Atlas, Count Dubulah, Hamid ManTu and Attiah Ahlan and produced by Transglobal Underground for the Atlas’ debut album Diaspora (1995).
«Leysh Nat’ Arak» was inspired by ethnic and religious conflicts in Israel, Palestine, Iraq, and Yugoslavia. Written in Arabic, the song calls for peace and unity between Jews, Muslims, and Christians in the Middle East. Furthermore, it addresses Atlas’ yearning to understand how and why her family emigrated from the Middle East to Belgium.
The video has an ancient Egyptian motif and Natacha is done up like Cleopatra. Intermingled with the video, is film footage surrounding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in which Egypt was also heavily embroiled during the 60s and 70s.

Ghalia Benali‘s fluid voice and compositions absorb a full circle of wide influences from Arabic folk and jazz traditions to contemporary chillout and Indian Classical music. Always surprising and restless by nature, Ghalia seems to shift seamlessly between genres and cultural traditions with an individuality devoid of fears. She uses classical Arab language, the language of alchemy, where a word reveals its numerous sides while being performed and interpreted to perfection by this great singer.

Once again, music had crossed the borders of a culture or a country. The instrumental part of Luiza is from Iran, but the song is Tunisian. My friend Sadri (Pacha Sioud) adapted the amusing text to fit the spirit of our times…» G.B.

Oh where are you going? Eventually you must come back
How many ignorant people have regretted this – Before you and me
How many overpopulated countries and empty lands have you seen?
How much time have you wasted? How much have you yet to lose?
Oh emigrant in the country of others – Do you even know what’s going on?
Destiny and time follow their course but you ignore it
Why is your heart so sad? And why are you staying there miserable?
Hardship will end and you no longer learn or build anything
The days don’t last, just as your youth and mine didn’t
Oh poor fellow who missed his chance just as I missed mine
Oh traveler, I give you a piece of advice to follow right away
See what is in your interest before you sell or buy
Oh sleeper, your news reached me and what happened to you happened to me
Thus, the heart returns to its creator, the Highest (God)

The moon is grey compared to you
وانت البعيد القريب
And you are the far away – but close – one
تشتاق لي في غيابي
You miss me in my absence
شوق الندى للزهور
Like how the dew misses the flowers
واشتاق لك يا عذابي
And I miss you oh my torture (you)

In your absence and presence
انت مناي ومرادي
You are my dream and my desire
فيك الرجا والنصيب
In you is the hope and fate
تامر على ما تريده

أمرك وأنا له مطيع
Your wish is my command
انت الحياة السعيدة
You are the happy life

Oh you are the flowers of spring

Like many other Raï artists based in Algeria, Cheb Hasni spent more time performing abroad than at home, due to curfews and musical restrictions in Algeria at the time. Hasni’s last concert in his native country was on 5 July 1993, when he performed to an audience of over 150,000 fans in Algiers at an event organised to celebrate Algerian independence.

La Ahada Yalam:
No-one knows whose turn it will be tomorrow.
The skies above the refugee camp are grey. Dreams hastily scrawled on the walls.
Beneath the slogans the children from the city play their game. Death. No-one knows . . .
The heroes of today are announced – dead – on the evening news.
Ordinary people make the headlines for a few seconds, only to vanish without a trace in the current of another day’s events.
No-one knows . . . But I know that tomorrow’s victims will bring a new dawn closer. No-one knows.

¤ → FawzY Al-Aiedi ↓ Nissa [2011]
The ancient music of the Middle East has been given a modern twist by Iraq-born and Paris-based oud (lute) and oboe player and vocalist Fawzy Al-Aiedy. Affectionately known as the «Sultan of swing», Al-Aiedy continues to bridge the traditional music of the East and the improvised sensibility of the West. Hailing from the Iraqi harbor city of Bassorah, Al-Aiedy studied violin and singing at the age of 14. His dreams of studying music abroad seemed to dissolve after the Ba’ath took control of Iraq and issued an edict prohibiting Iraqi citizens from leaving the country. Pleading to Saddam Hussein for permission to leave, he instead found himself drafted into the Iraqi army. After three months of basic training, he was transferred to the military’s music division. Allowed to travel to Europe in 1971, Al-Aiedy settled in Paris and began to study the oboe. He released his debut album, Silence, five years later.
