Les Paroles de Les Pierres de Gaza

.

LES PIERRES DE GAZA

♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

C'est l'histoire d'une guerre, Trop de soldats qui courent

Des conflits tous les jours, C'est l'histoire d'une terre

Des maisons anéanties, pour venger tous leurs morts

Des tortures pour les familles, ALLAH connaît les torts

♫♫♫

Refrain

♫♫♫

Une terre sans partage, Une paix jamais vue ;

Ce n'était qu'un mirage, La violence continue ;

Des pierres qu'on a bâties, Des pierres qu'ils ont détruits ;

Les pierres de l'intifada sont les pierres de Gaza, Les pierres de l'Intifada sont les pierresdeGaza ;

Jahidou bile imane, Jahidou biçalah, Jahidou bidoaa, Oua bidikri koraane Jahidou bile imane,

Jahidou biçalah, Jahidou bidoaa, Oua bidikri koraane, Oua bidikri koraane, Oua bidikri koraane.

♫♫♫

Avez-vous souvenir, De ce fameux matin

Où un homme a tué, Des fidèles en prière

Des fidèles morts devant DIEU, qui priaient pour être heureux

Peut-on toujours espérer, voir la paix s'installer

♫♫♫

Refrain

♫♫♫

Sur les murs sont inscrits, Les massacres, les tueries

Des rues qui portent le sang, Des femmes et des enfants

Des enfants se retrouvant, un matin sans parents

Orphelins abandonnés, trop souvent oubliés

♫♫♫

Refrain

♫♫♫

Pourquoi toute cette violence, Pourquoi tant d'innocents

Les discours qu'on entend, Ne parlent que de souffrance

Une terre sacrée, La terre de Palestine

Evitons de la souiller, Allahouma amine

♫♫♫

Refrain

♫♫♫

Un homme emprisonné, Témoin de cette guerre

A voulu dénoncer, Le goût de la misère

Dans les livres sacrés, Qui portent la vérité

Depuis longtemps est écrit la justice d'aujourd'hui

♫♫♫

Refrain

♫♫♫

Il ne reste que l'image, Des mères qui ont portées

Tant d'années de douleur, Des larmes sur les visages

Prions Notre Seigneur, De juger les menteurs

Un jour sera montré, L'Unique Vérité

Izran and Flamenco : After a very successful row of concerts in the title of an Amazigh-Andalucian project that took place in Belgium and The Netherlands. Imetlaa and the flamenco group NL Mundo are proud to announce a new live Album. This Album lets ancient Izran, the heart of the oral Amazigh culture in the Rif, melt away with the impressive sound and voice of the Flamenco. That is why the title: Izran & FlamencoThis unique Amazigh-Andalucian project is a musical search of two harmonious styles, full of wonderful lyrical melodies and firing passions, searching for the point of contact which leads to the roots of Moors Spain. A search for the musical culture in the times of Andalucia blooming period where different tribes and cultures added their contribution, particularly the Amazigh people.

Suffused with emotion, Najat Aatabou's voice is among the strongest in popular Moroccan music. Her radiation and voice become explosive on the stage, while some of her movements originate in the jedba, the ritual trance of Northern Africa. Her dynamic performance and forward-looking viewpoints take her right into the hearts of Moroccan audiences and have made her a star.
Najat Aatabou (44) by now has 25 albums to her name and enjoys immense popularity, in her own country and also among Moroccan communities abroad. The Chemical Brothers scored a worldwide hit with Calvanize in 2005 (over one million singles sold). This song is an excellent example of the musical impact the sample of Just Tell Me The Truth by Najat Aatabou has on it. ?In my own, self-written traditional songs I try to sketch a fair picture of Moroccan women. I also try to defend their rights and to change prevailing views.?
In her songs she does not shrink back from presenting awkward issues. One of her songs for instance is about women having a love affair with a married man. Her message is: go out and find yourself another (?Shoufi Ghirou?)! Just imagine something like this in a country where such relationships are a punishable offence. ?I also put forward issues like adultery, infidelity and domestic violence and sing about girls abandoned by their boyfriends when they turn out to be pregnant. I advocate that parents must stand by their children at all times. I challenge prevailing views.?
This she used to do from an early age onwards. Rebellious, Najat grew up in the poor village of Khmisset in the central Atlas mountains. Singing was her favourite pastime, sneaking out of her bedroom window at nights to sing at weddings and school parties. It was at one of those weddings that someone taped her show while Najat was unaware of this. Although the cassettes sold well in Morocco, her relatives were less enthusiastic. ?It was downright disaster when they found out. They did not accept it, taking it that I had put the family to shame. My brothers wanted to kill me.?
So Najat, who had once dreamed of becoming a lawyer, decided to flee. ?In tears I went to the village shop that sold the illegal tapes of my performance. My family froze all contacts with me and I had nowhere to go. Herself a mother of three, she now owns various houses in Morocco and France.
?Purely by coincidence that day a producer walked into the shop. He had apparently heard the cassette somewhere and was looking for me. He asked me to rely on him, proposing that I joined him to Casablanca. Although I had no other choice it appeared to be my rescue.?
Downright seething Najat was. With all and everything. ?I found it so frustrating that as a woman I had no say in anything, hardly knew any rights or that as a child I was not allowed to wear the clothes I fancied. And there was no question whatever about talking to strange men. For these reasons her first hit was called ?J鮠ai marr钠(?I?ve had enough?) which is sung in Arabic all the same. By now Najat has dozens of hit to her name, like Shoufi Ghirou (Find a Better Man), Souvenir and Hadi Kadba Beyna (Just Tell me the Truth).
For three years to come there were no contacts with her family, but they were restored thanks to her manager. ?He went to the village where I was born to explain that I was not doing anything bad or immoral, which in fact was that everybody had been scared of. In the meantime my brothers had seen me on television as well and read about me in the papers, so the uproar had been calmed down?, says Najat, the first woman to release a cd in the Moroccan market. ?Our contact now is fine.?
Najat receives incredible amounts of fanmail, also from those who do not especially like her shrill notes at traditional rhythms, but who do like the message they convey. The interpreter of the popular ballad gathers inspiration from the occasionally distressing stories her admirers tell her. ?Much has changed for women over the past twenty years here; they have started working and travelling. What?s more, they have learnt to say ?no? now and then. All the same, a lot is still awaiting to be done and I hope my songs will help to achieve this.?
In the last year she underwent a great development. Together with her husband Hassan Dikouk she changed the style of her music, exchanging traditional instruments for a new sound with musical influences from instruments like bass and electric guitar, synthesizer, drum, congas and so on. Doing so, Najat Aⴡbou now wants to make these Moroccan songs accessible to music lovers all over the world.
The 2004 ?Morocco Swings? masterclass showed Najat in the main role; a film intended primarily to add a positive contribution to the position/liberation of Moroccan women all the world over.

Au Maroc, la Berbère Najat Aatabou, grande star de la chanson populaire châabi au royaume de Mohammed VI, tient une sorte de courrier du cœur, s’inspirant " des lettres, très nombreuses, que je reçois des femmes qui m’écoutent puis me racontent leurs problèmes. Et je les résous en chantant.
"Et quels sont les douleurs des femmes marocaines ?" Comme partout, des blessures d’amour. Des maris infidèles, des foyers parallèles, des mensonges. " Comment cette infatigable joueuse de mots, alignant des strophes (en arabe, parfois en tamazight, l’une des trois langues berbères du Maroc) comme une rappeuse du Bronx, traduit-elle ces blessures ordinaires ? " Eh bien, par exemple, j’ai une chanson, Souerret (Ces clés sont à qui ?). La femme prend le trousseau du mari, et passe en revue les clés les unes après les autres, la porte d’entrée, le garage, le bureau, et l’une ne correspond à rien... "
Femmes trompées, jalouses, jamais soumises, telles sont celles qui peuplent l’univers des chansons écrites par Najat Aatabou, qui fustige " l’homme qui ment toujours ", inventant travail et réunion, ou celui qui abandonne son épouse enceinte en prétextant que l’enfant n’est pas de lui. Au passage, elle s’en prend aux maîtresses, et cela fait un tube, Choufi Ghirou (Cherches-en une autre). Du groupe-phare de l’opposition marocaine, Nass-el-Ghiwan, elle dit simplement : " Eux, ils font de la chanson engagée. " Chapeau à large bord, maquillage impeccable, manteau à motifs panthère, Najat Aatabou promène des allures de star, légitimement. Enceinte, la " lionne de l’Atlas " a momentanément abandonné ses tailleurs-pantalons de cuir noir, au profit d’une robe de velours cernée de perles. A quelques jours d’un retour à l’Olympia, où elle avait fait ses débuts français en 1984, Najat Aatabou revient sur un parcours qui l’a menée de sa ville natale de Khemisset, dans le Moyen Atlas, au triomphe. En 1981, Najat Aatabou chante dans un mariage une chanson inspirée d’une histoire vraie : une de ses amies part en voyage, et à son retour son fiancé est mort. " J’en ai marre, j’en ai marre ", psalmodie la jeune femme.
Dans l’assemblée, un joyeux bootlegger enregistre secrètement la voix vibrante de Najat Aatabou. Quelques semaines plus tard, alerté par la radio et les cassettes pirates, le petit peuple marocain fredonne la chanson de cette inconnue dont on ignore le visage, le nom, l’identité. Najat entend sa voix par hasard en faisant ses courses. Sa famille aussi. " Je n’étais pas contente, dit-elle aujourd’hui. Je voulais faire des études, devenir avocate, mais... mektoub. Je suis tombée malade, clouée au lit. J’étais terrorisée par la réaction de mes frères. Chanter, pour une femme, était synonyme de mauvaise vie. " Najat se réfugie à Casablanca, et signe un contrat avec les éditions musicales Hassania. Bannie pendant plus de trois ans par sa famille, elle en fait une chanson, Ma mère qu’est-ce que j’ai fait ? Excuse-moi, c’est le destin qui nous a séparées, qu’elle vient de reprendre en duo avec Neneh Cherry. Najat Aatabou n’est pas à proprement parler une chikha, chanteuse traditionnelle à la parole libre, à l’instar des chikhates du Moyen Atlas. Celles-ci incarnent une tradition paysanne où le rythme est donné par le bendir et la mélodie appuyée par le luth lotar, tandis que Najat Aatabou en provoque le dévoiement urbain, synthétiseur et électrification en conséquence.

Takht ("bed", "seat", or "podium") (Persian: تخت) is the representative musical ensemble, the orchestra, of Arab music. In Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, the ensemble consists of the 'ud, the qanun, the Arabian kamanjah (or now two), the nay, the riqq, and the darabukkah.
The melody instruments play heterophonically in octaves or perform solos. Instrumental forms include bashraf, sama'i, tahmilah, and dulab. The ensemble may be joined by a male or female vocalist and a group of four to six singers who provide the refrain sections. Vocal genres performed include dawr, muwashshah, layali, ma'luf, qasidah, and mawwal.

Sonia M'Barek began singing Maluf - traditional Tunisian court music - as a child. Maluf affinity with like styles in Algeria, Libya and Morocco voices the music's historical origins in southern Andalusia, before the Reconquest drove Arabs from Spain in 1492. She trained in the Tunis conservatory, and has performed widely in Tunisia and the neighboring Maghreb. While rooted in the traditional maluf repertoire, M'Barek steps beyond it by delving into the sharqi music of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, and is a great performer of Muwashaht.

An international society understanding of the work of Ibn Arabi and his followers

.

The Tarjuman al-Ashwaq or Interpreter of Desires by Ibn Arabi is acknowledged as one of the major works in Sufi literature.

This book is a wonderful book of poetry--even in translation the imagery created by the words is beautiful but the real meaning of the poems is extremely difficult. Indeed, in these poems Shaykh al Akbar Ibn e Arabi (may his secret be sanctified) was revealing Truths which he experienced in his journey towards and in Allah (The Divine) and therefore unless one has similar experiences it is impossible to ascertain the real meanings behind the words. His explanations help a little but even they are really aimed at other Sufi Masters who are traversing the Path. The layman or ordinary Muslim (or non Muslim) can still though indulge him or herself into these masterpieces as literary outpourings of a soul singed with Divine Love and thus experience at least a little of Ibn Arabi's profound station and insights. A must-have.

If anyone can be seen to be involved in 'world music' , it certainly is Ali Bahia El Idrissi (Casablanca, Morocco). Idrissi is not only a talented singer, but also an accomplished percussionist, director, composer and songwriter. His musical career started in Morocco where he studied Andalucian singing. Idrissi specialised in soefi-singing, an art form made popular in the Western world by singers such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan from Pakistan. In the past few years, Idrissi hasn't only performed as Cheb Mami's and Cheb Khaled's support act, but has also made several video clips with groups such as Casa Express, who have played on the Moroccan tv many times (and in Holland on a number of migrants' tv stations). Musicians which Idrissi has worked with recently include Rachid & Samir Laklifi and Mohammed Benchakhchakh.
In 1998 Idrissi worked together with sound artist Michel Banabila for the first time which resulted in the track 'Idrissi'. Banabila co-operated in the past with East meets West, Yasar Saka, Erkan Ogur, and Byzantium to name a few. Currently, he has already signed off on a respectable number of solo CD's including VoizNoiz-urban sound scapes. (Steamin. Soundworks 1999) which was received very well internationally.The co operation between Banabila and Idrissi was a success and resulted in new tracks recorded on the promotion CD 'Kawakib Al Maghred' produced by Banabila and published by the 'Zuid-Hollandse Popunie' .

Muluk el-Hwa (The Demon of Love) ( ملوك الهوى ) was formed in the 1980s by brothers Elaadili and Ben Bich Abderrahim. A Marrakesh-based outfit, they are essentially Berber in composition and derive their rhythmic patterns from the Gnawa order of the Sufis. Unlike many Chaabi bands, Muluk el-Hwa play only traditional acoustic instruments. The group has collaborated with the Spanish band Al Tall and together they have released Xaeq Al-Andalos, a collection of music from Valencia and Arabic poetry. ~ Leon Jackson, All Music Guide.

In this little-heard but arguably classic recording in the field of cross-genre fusion, Al Tall, the Catalan flamenco outfit, combines with Muluk El-Hwa, a Moroccan Gnawa ensemble. Despite the many similarities in rhythm and aesthetics, as well as geographical and historical distance, the two genres perhaps wouldn't be expected to work so well together. Nonetheless, the two forms fuse almost seamlessly here. Flamenco's palmas (handclapping) meet Gnawa's qaraqeb (metal castanets) for a versatile, organic rhythmic structure. Similarly, the guitarra flamenco and the ginbri fuse together well, with the ginbri generally providing a bassline for the guitar. Vocals are dominated by cante flamenco here, which is perhaps something of a letdown given the power of Gnawa ritual chant. Still, a fine album all around, and worth hearing for fans of either genre represented or for those seeking something completely different.

Cherifa :Born in Tazrout Mu Ukhbou, close to Khenifra, Cherifa is 37 years old. Raised in her village, The poetess never attended to school, it is the same for all the girls of the same age.
She worked her voice outdoors during her shepherdess activity, at home during the domestic tasks or during meetings between girls. At the age of 16, she performs in the traditional festivals of the village. At the beginning of the eighteens, she met the star singer Rouicha. This meeting made her a Cheikha singer(popular singer or artist). She recorded then with Rouicha but also with Meghni, Lamrabeth and Aziz Arim. However she didn’t recorded for herself ; her family did not wish her to make song her livelihood.
Very quickly she will impose herself in the country with her exceptional voice comparable with the voices of Tifrist, Rqya Aabbou and Hadda Ouaakki, all of them er Tamawayt singers (solo improvisation) in the Middle Atlas. She came to France in 1999, Cherifa had impressed the public of Paris, moved by the power and roughness of its voice.
The poetry of Cherifa, just like that of the Cheikhat of the Middle-Atlas, is a major poetry which treats mainly everyday life. It’ s also a philosophy of life ; one finds lesson there about world destiny. It’ s a very picturesque poetry, made of metaphors where the things are said with half-words. Hence the difficulty and the complexity of its translation.
Under the pressures of its entourage and some of his friends, Cherifa ends up returning in studio and records her first album, an album which bears her name. An album: "Berber Blues" produced by "From a Distance" in 2002.

Driss el-Maloumi was born in Agadir, Morocco in 1970. He went on to study Arab literature at university and also attended the National Musical School of Rabat from 1992-4. As well as Eastern and Western influences, he also incorporated tribal Berber oud playing into his compositions.







Ninna Nanna- :- Lullabies by Monstserrat figueras : From the moment a baby is born, lullabies are a mother's indispensable ally in soothing her child for whom everything in the big, wide world in new and frightening. The baby recognizes in the song his mother's voice, her presence and her expression. The intimacy of the moment creates a space rich in ancestral symbols, in which words and music create a bond of pure emotion and truth. It is in this space that the child experiences his first dialogue, his first story, his first contact with the teachings of tradition, experience and culture, which over time build into an essential part of our collective memory.
Whoever sings a lullaby is moved by a desire to give of their very best, which in itself is an expression of love, and so the child begins to experience the essence of life.Montserrat Figueras–Nina Nanna artist's introduction
Figueras' words constitute one of the best distillations in pure emotional terms of the meaning and purpose of the children's lullaby as a musical form.
One of my favorite songs is Nani, Nani, a Berber lullaby from Morocco. Figueras uses her most sprightly vocal cadence to convey the lively melody of a song whose lyrics are quite mournful :

I met my brother, Sleep

And he asked me:

'What do you carry on your back?'
The moon is very sad.

I asked her:

'Where is happiness?'

And she answered:

'Happiness is with others.'
I carried the moon on my back

And I walked and wept.

'Moon, you are hungry,

You are sleepy,

All of nature shivers with cold.'
I met Sleep,

And he asked me

What I was carrying on my back.

I answered that I carried

Nothing but the moon.

And he said:

'Rock her to sleep, rock her to sleep.

The following Sephardic lullaby (from pre-1492 Spain, but first collected later in Morocco) is actually a song about marital infidelity cleverly disguised as a lullaby:

Lullaby, lullaby

Hush little child.

Mam's little boy

Will grow up tall.
Go to sleep my sweetheart,

Sleep, apple of my eye.

Your daddy is coming

And his spirits are high.
Open up, good wife,

Open the door,For I come home weary

From ploughing the fields.
I will not open up.

For you are not weary.

I know that you come

From another new love.
She is no more lovely

Nor worthier than I,

And the jewels that she wore

Are no better than mine.

Zebda Officiel Homepage

.

Zebda is a French music group from Toulouse "Arabic Roots". The group consists of seven musicians who met for the first time in 1985.

The name of the group, the Arabic word for butter (or beurre in French), is a play on the use of the word beur in French slang to refer to Arabs. Several of the group's members are of North African descent.
Their music is influenced by these roots as well as music from all over the world, for example reggae, rap, raï and rock, and their lyrics deal with issues affecting the Arab population in France. They are best known in France for their single "Tomber la chemise".
Their supporters claim that, unlike other immigrant musicians in France, they don't advocate fighting for social equality, but instead doing something about it. In March 2001 their political movement, called Motivé-e-s, won four seats on the city council with 12.38% of the vote.
