C'est une chanson qui parle des conflits liés aux différences entre les humains. Se haïr juste parce qu'on est différent de l'autre est une folie. C'est une collaboration entre un Péruvien, un Sud Africain et une Camerounaise. Nous sommes allé sur la base d'un style de r'n"b old school et nous y avons rajouté les sensibilités et les cultures de chacun. Ce qui nous a permis de remarquer des similitudes entre nos rythmes locaux.
This musical piece shows the theme of the conflict in its contrasts. It mixes different musical genres: Funk, Son cubano, Afro and Jazz, with a 7-beat metric, as irregular as the life of these days all over the world. It contrasts between a part A (letter) and B (Piano Solo) with binary subdivision and a part C (voice only) with ternary subdivision. Choirs with strident harmonization to create contrast with a clear and well-drawn melodic line, over a text that shares fragments in both Spanish and Yoruba languages. Come or leave

This piece starts with Chopin Nocturne played by Abbas Abboud who's the co-composer and co-arranger of this piece, then the tunes of Oud emerge with the vocals of Beshar AL Azzawi, improvising with a spirit of ancient Mesopotamia. Then then the piece turns into a funk, empowered by the drum track of Michael Anetsberger, and the flawless E-Bass of Osmar Okuma, with the piano, screaming electric guitar, and Oud converse with intense passion. This is an "unusual" piece by all standards! I hope that you guys like it :)
Based on an Iraqi Maqam called Lami, this piece has the elements of Funk, Jazz, and Iraqi Makam. That work is empowered by using a floating bridge Iraqi style Oud, playing a long the funky rhythm. The Flute, played by Sandro, beautifully blends with the Oud creating a passionate "dance" on the funky rhythm of Michael and the warm, artistic and elegant bass line played by Osmar. Adding to that, an improvised vocal "Mawal" singing an ancient love poem.
