World Music from Lebanon. Fusion from the Middle East

6 MP3 Songs
WORLD: Middle East, WORLD: World Traditions



Details:
The proceeds of this CD will go towards the relief efforts in Lebanon.

We couldnât take a group picture of the participants in this album nor could we record the works in the quality we aspired to. Because of the abhorrence of the bombing and the ongoing war there are a lot of things we just couldnât do. Today, all our energy is channeled towards one goal: Survival.
This is a tribute to those who died, to those who survived and to those who are helping and sustaining the refugees.

In coordination with âWAFAâ group - Kuwait.

I was with a friend a few hours ago. I asked him: Do you think theyâll bomb Beirut? He answered: By mistake!

On the 23rd day of this war we know we are bleeding but we wonât die. In this quest for self-determination we assert our undeniable right to live with dignity under the sun. Our resolve will not be defeated. We will remain the proof (albeit beaten and bloodied) that a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional society can exist and thrive beyond racial and confessional divisions. We will resurrect again regardless of the siege, despite of the bombings and in spite of the indiscriminate killing. On this 23rd day of the warâ¦âWe liveââ¦

I had my differences with you many timesâ¦
But I have never hated you.
We quarreledâ¦but I never abandoned you.
Donât be offended if at times I felt it was a one sided love.
Still I love you!
What is your secret?
I must admit that every time I try to escape you someone always came along to remind me of you and envy my love for you.
I became protective of you and I love you even more.
I ask you (Lebanon): Do you deserve all this love?

Regardless of all the destruction and death that Israel is inflicting on us we will not be terrorized nor will we be silenced. Each one of us will resist in his/her way. We will persist and in the final analysis we will show who is the real terrorist and who is refusing a fair and comprehensive solution.

Deathâ¦â¦Under Siege:
When thereâs no unity thereâs separation, thatâs death under siege.
When thereâs no communication thereâs distance, thatâs death under siege.
When thereâs no culture thereâs ignorance, thatâs death under siege.
When thereâs no art thereâs futility, thatâs death under siege.
When thereâs no love thereâs hate, thatâs death under siege.
When thereâs no freedom and dignity, tyranny prevails and thatâs death under siege.
As long as there is music there is hope to brake the chains and move ahead to better days.
Abboud Saadi
