Fairuz's "Khidni Ya Habibi" Translated into English by Dr. Ramzi Salti

Here is my modest attempt to translate Fairuz's song "Khidni Ya Habibi خدني يا حبيبي " [Take Me Away, My Love] from Arabic into English. This song has always had a special place in my heart, as does the operetta/musical Petra in which it was initially performed, back in 1978. I have uploaded a special video of the song, with optional English subtitles, to my YouTube Channel. To view subtitles, start playing video then click on CC at bottom of video screen/window. For bilingual English/Arabic version, scroll to bottom of page. Watch below or at https://youtu.be/Hi4-DAq72s8 [Narration] An Egyptian man arrived one night Carrying with him the mysteries of the Pyramids And the sublime color of the Nile He appeared out of nowhere Just like joy itself And he gave us hope. [Song] Take me away, my love To a house that has no doors Take me away my love To the moon that guides the forgotten Leave me in a deep slumb...

Lina Makoul's Latest Track Connects Art and Capitalism

Lina Makoul: Exploring the Art-Capitalism Paradox Lina Makoul's Artistic Activism: Lina Makoul has long used her international profile to address social and political issues close to her heart and her new single, 'Fish Masari,' serves as a prime example. You can listen/watch below or at this link . Exploring the Art-Capitalism Paradox: Written and produced by Makoul and Nasir AlBashir, 'Fish Masari' delves into the intricate relationship between art and capitalism.

Arabology Spotlights Top 20 Podcasts from/about the Arab World

Arabology's Top 20 Podcasts of 2024 Arabology's Top 20 Podcasts from/about the Arab world When I started my Arabology radio show and podcast in 2012, quality podcasts from/about the Arab world were few and far between. Those days are (fortunately) gone thanks to the advent of a wide variety of programs (audio and video) that deal with different cultural and political aspects from the region. Below are Arabology's Top 20 podcasts for 2024. Most are available on such music platforms as Apple Podcasts and Spotify but newer ones are increasingly being hosted on YouTube which gives these shows a nice visual component. Most importantly, Arabology 's Top 20 Podcasts of 2024 are all hosted by Arab creators around the world or, in some cases, by podcasters whose knowledge of the region enables them to offer a much needed, nuanced representation of a region and people(s) who have been too often stereotyped in Western media. 1.

Raafat Majzoub's Book Reviewed in Kalimat Magazine

Original Post may be found in Issue 04 (Winter 2012) of Kalimat Magazine Book Review of Raafat Majzoub's Book Fetish Systems It was the writer Italo Calvino that suggested a writing that—rather than pointing at or recreating an object or character—envelops, surrounds like a fine mist. This suggests their existence rather than attempts to simply recre- ate them, allowing the reader a measure of engagement and creation with the text. The writing in Fetish Systems, a new written work by multi-talented Lebanese author Raafat Majzoub, warrants this comparison. His bio alone which adorns this slim volume is merely suggestive: “he is trained as an architect, yet refuses the title – he is currently working on several construction projects, a few books, something that might be a painting, a table and would like this bio to end with an et cetera.” “To live in Beirut, is to know that one must accept circumstance. We have become numb—all of us—numb—in a state of trance, where ‘elastic’ wou...
