Hamid Cheriet or better known by name Idir. ( Believe me, I have just learned his real name, thanks to Wikipedia) İn this content we gonna talk about a Idir song, name " A vava İnouva." Again an Arabic song and agaiın from Algeria. This country have lots of precious musician. Actually not only Algeria but also whole eastern counties have fertile music culture. This is what ı try to show you, in fact. Anyway if we back 'A vava İnouva', The song talk about a father and his daugther. İt  is look like a fairytale. And here you are song's lyric in English; 

"I ask you father inouva, open the door
O daughter ghriba, shake your bracelets
I fear the monster of the forest father Inouva
O daughter ghriba, I fear him too 

The old one is rolled up in his "burnous" (traditional trenchcoat)
in the distance, to warm himself
His son is scared to earn bread
Looking at the days to come
The grand-dauhter-in-law sews
Without stopping putting the cloth
The children around the grandmother
learn the teachings from the old days 

The snow pushes up against the door
the stew in the large cooking pot
the elders begin dreaming of springtime
the moon and the stars being the canopy
the oak tree replaces the view
the family gathers together
ready to listen to the story"

Ce Que Le Jour Doit à La Nuit / What the Day Owes the Night

                       

This is a novel written by algerian writer Yasmina Khaled. İn 2012,  A movie was shotting based on this roman. And our lovely song ' A vava inouva' was used in the final part of movie.

Lizeta Kalimeri & Sokratis Malamas / Salomi

Dont understand ,Try to Feel

Today we gonna talk about 'Salomi.' this song is full of melancholy.it can find out your deepest sadness in your heart. I can't understand even one word in the song. But somehow I can understand what they say. İnfact, I feel the story. I think this is a power of music. We share the same feel but in different words.

Salomi is a Greek song what singing by Lizeta Kalimeri & Sokratis Malamas. Actually, I have no more information about song and singers. I heard 'Salomi' one of lovely Tumblr blog. He was said " I guess, I fall in love with this song." one of other ınternet user was said that " Dude; I cannot understand an even single word in this song. But even if it talks about a shopping list, I will continue to listening"

Lastly, if there is a someone who can help us understand what they say in the song, please contact me !

Edit: I come cross with a Turkish translate,(Burcu Arı Translate from youtube ) and I try to translate from Turkish to English .. Here you are :) 

Ayın gümüşü / The silver of the moon dar yolların çakıllarını aydınlatırken / When light up the narrow path's stone Vahsi anna / Vahsi Anna fotis olarak uyandı ve başladı / Wake up as Fotis and start şarkısını yazmaya / to write own song Ayağa kaltı ve dans etti / She stand up and dance ve büyüledi tüm erkekleri / and she impressed all man o dans çemberinde / in the dance circle Ve foti nin kalbi / and Foti's heart bir kağıt gibi yanacak / will burn like a paper Eğer salome ağlarsa / if salome crys Affediciliğin tutkusunda / in the passion of the forgiveness Onun günahları affedilecek / His sins will be forgiven fakat tacında / but in his diadem kan ve yakut / blood and ruby birbirinin içine girecek / Wil be mixed

Souad Massi / Raoui

  Oh, Storyteller, Tell Us A Story

Today , I would prepared to tell another song but I change my decide this morning. This day I'm gonna talk about Souad Massi's fabulous song ; Raoui. But first thing first, I want to share with you why I changed my mind.

Two days that we have left behind is very odd. ( Maybe, odd is not the fit for this situation but I could not find a word to better description). One day you wake up and people who around you, television, social media, I mean, all media channel talk about War III possibility. Look like that two war is not enough for human being in history. Already lots of people from whole over the world died or still dying. But I said this is not enough, we need more and more. Also ,weirdest part of this situation is that all this person killed/ or died for better world, peace, or democracy..İt seems that democracy should be machine what work with innocence human blood. Because I cannot see any logical reason for world right now situation.

Anyway I'm not a politican or someone like that. I hope everything will be okey for my country and for all world. I'm passing my today song; Raoui.  Raoui is the one of incredible song of Massi. She has a lots of amazing song and I love all of them. İn the next days I will talk about them. Belive or not, I met with Massi's songs because of a war.

Because of a war ?

Let me tell you the story. it is not complicated. I heard one of souad massi song in a cafe at kadıköy. untill this moment is everything usual . I learned this cafe one of my friend's Tunisian friend. This cafe name is Arthere İstanbul. the cafe run by Syrian artist. Cafe's Owner is Omer. He is a Syrian Photographer. The cafe is also art a gallery and you can meet with lots of painter at Arthere. All lovely person who create Arthere came from Syria and this is and of story .Anyway if you learn more About Arthere I'll give a link in below.




The Dictator 

Finally, I want to talk about a movie ; The Dictator. Clearly the movie is not one of my favorite. But in some way, it is worthwhile to watch and The Raoui is playing one part of the movie. Most probably best part . But my favorite part is that "main characters describing dictatorship". Somehow this description is very familiar. And this is that description of dictatorship;

"You could let one percent of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes and bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests"

Vas/ Sunyata

A song for 'Emptiness'

This is my first content and it will be from Persian.Yes, first one and Persian. Believe me I have no any acceptable reason why from Persian as a first one. Maybe just one reason; recently I am listening this song, I mean "Sunyata", over and over again.

For start, I want to tell you story of what I met with this song. One of my friend is the big fan of the Niyaz/ Azam Ali. One day she said me " You should listen this song, İt will touch your soul" and I listened. Thanks to my lovely friend I met with "Sunyata."

Lets talk about "Sunyata" and Vas !
'Sunyata' is first Album name of Vas, and one of song name in this album. Every song of in this album is incredible. Most probably I will talk about another song of from this album. But today is Sunyata day. Sunyata Mean 'Emptiness' or 'Nothingness' I dont know why but when I learn this, I was impressed. Emptiness is mean that " we have a gap to fill". in this point we focus on that; if there is a gap, it should be something before in this gap" and finaly we came this consequence ; we left something behind us, but we still can't move on.

So we are in 'Sunyata'

As a last word

" You should listen this song until last moment, İt will be touch your soul!" 

P.S
This is Symbol of Sunyata. Also, if you want learn more information about "Sunyata" check this link ; Sunyata
