Evolution of Arabic Music
So because of this news things I did not want to share some specific song, instade of that I shared this cute combination of arabic music. Yeah this video makes me really smile everytime I watch. and Alaa Wardi. He is an Iranian a cappella artist, who became an online YouTube sensation in the Arab world and Turkey. Actully When I learned that wardi is Persian, ı really suprised. But than I learn that he born and rise in n Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. So this makes sense his perfect arabic. his family own a furniture business in Riyadh so it is clear to he was born rich ^^. And his music career;
He studied music and sound engineering in University of Jordan. He lives in Riyadh. He is a musician, composer, singer, songwriter and audio engineer.
Last thing about him, Wardi is obviously look like funny person. I like him and his way of music ^^
Mohsen Namjoo.. Ey Sareban... Such a tough thing what talking about this lovely song. I have lots of thing to say, on the other hand I am in full of silence. I mean that words is meaningless in the face of this song. But I have to try saying something about it. I think, I should talk about Mohsen Namjoo firstly..
'Some call him a sort of Bob Dylan of Iran'
Bob Dylan of İran ? Yeah, but these are not my words (Also, as I have just read he dont like this comparison) The New York Time compare Mohsen with Bob Dylan. And I think, their life stories look like each other in some ways. But today I gonna talk about Namjoo, Not Dylan ( Sorry Bob but You know that I love you too:) ) Mohsen Namjoo is an Persian musician, singer-songwriter. His style of music is influenced by Blues and Rock as well as Iranian folk music.The lyrics of his songs are also odd combination of Persian classical poems, his own lyrics, and contemporary poems. His life story is so interesting as much as his music style. He was born in 1976 in Torbat-e Jam, a small town in northeastern Iran. He was starting interested in with Iranian poem and music when he was a child. But he has a traditional conservative family, firs time of his music career , his family did not support that about going to Tehran University Faculty Of Fine Arts. But he gone and get studied music. But his university life did not take to long time.The third year of his university life, he was fired from university because of his unusual music style. But this was not the end of his story ,contrarily this is kinda begining of his story. After all this thing he create his own music. There is one more thing about his life, particularly I want to share with you.
Love you Namjoo, Keep fighting !
In 2006 the Iranian judicial system sentenced Namjoo in absentia to a five-year jail term for allegedly ridiculing the ash-Shams, surah of the Quran, in his song "Shams" Mohsen apologized as formal way but İranian government did not accept his apology. I dont know exactly how but the conviction of Mohsen Namjoo did not took place. There is a something we have to focus on. A person who create a new music style in own way. And he used a Quran's Surah his own music. Think about that ' Why a person use something what he did not care in his own work?" I tried to find Shams English or Turkish Lyric but I could not. So I'm not sure What he say about these Surah. But, in a good way or bad way he must study on this Surah to use and also lots of person whole over the world hear this Surah thanks to Mohsen. Recently we are who called ownself muslim believer even did not open the Quran cover, he study on these Surah and reach lots of persons. Summarize, I love you Namjoo, Keep fighting !
Ey Sareban
There are more things that talking about Mohsen but I think I have to pass the song; Ey sareban. Actually it is a poem what written by Rahim Moeini Kermanshahi and Kouros Sarhang Zadeh used this poem in song form at movie of Leyli and Majnoon before Mohsen Namjoo. Believe me Mohsen Namjoo version is best one ever. Finally here is Ey sareban lyric in English
Oh you cameller
Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you?
As we avowed our love, no one witnessed but our Lord, As long as this world is revolving, may our love live, Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you?
All the religion I prtacticed, in this mortal world, turned into a sprickel of love, annd that became my living, How good it is to shed a tear in the memory of a lover, how good it is to live, as you are burning with love, O,G-d, I pray to you so thay always love stays in the hearts, as ours do Because the story of Leili and Majnoon[ the Easten legendary lovers] become a fiction, but ours becomes immortal,
Why you are running away from my love now? Why you are not reading the signs of dispair through my eyes? The way I feel sad you have no clue, I will not survive after you I swear to G-d, (so) stay and confi8rm the death of my heart and then leave, As a mighty storm, pick the flower of my being from the branches of sorrow and leave, Because I am that one tree that stays in the way of strom, The same tree whose branches are all broken by the anger of nature,
Oh you cameller, oh you caravan! Where are you taking my Leili( My lover)? As you take my Leili with you, you take my heart and my soul along, Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you? Oh you cameleer, where are you heading to? Why are you taking my Leili along with you?
I could not write anything for such a long time! İt was a kind of break for me. Because of my exam week ( and I'm still in) I could not do anything. Just study, study and more study. But I'm REALLY boring. Somehow, my right now mood not depend on my exams. I dont know why but I feel exhausting in emotional way. Summary, I want a real break. So, as a first step, I can sleep and sleep again, believe me, I really need it.
I guess, because of my recently mood I am listening this song over and over again. Nami Nami is an Arabic lullaby. İt means ' Sleep Sleep'. Thanks to Azam Ali, I learned the lullaby. But believe me Azam Ali cover is better in all version. Niyaz ( Azam Ali soloist) and Azam Ali's other group members are Persian. Clearly Azam's Arabic pronunciation is not very well but still better version ever.
Swing (2002)
Generally I learn new songs from movies but this time I learn a new movie thanks to Nami Nami song. 'Swing' is a French film by Tony Gatlif, released in 2002. Unfortunately I have no any special information or impression about the movie because I don't watch Swing yet. But I will. I have just watched one part of movie what Nami Nami has sung by Hayat Ayad and I am really impressed.
Here is Synopsis of Swing
Max, an only child, is about ten years old. He becomes an avid fan of gypsy jazz the day he hears the virtuoso guitar player Miraldo strumming the chords. This music becomes his passion and leads him to the gypsy section of town where he buys an old guitar. While taking guitar lessons with Miraldo, Max discovers a whole new world, including Swing, a gypsy girl his age. They become fast friends. Swing's unusual self-assurance and animal magnetism enthrall Max. But Swing has a big surprise in store for her friend, one that turns Max's world upside down and throws him headlong into his first crush.
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
