Other music from other worlds (subtitle: 'listen to a fool)
Nadah El Shazly | ندى الشاذلي | Palmyra | بالميرا
"...and so you stay among yourselves listening to Peruvian groups with the bagpipes that are listened to by only a handful of people and that not even their relatives buy!" (quote)
HERE I AM! PRESENT! I, the pompous know-it-all, frequenter of the most foul-smelling and hidden niches, who "will never be part of a majority" as that guy said in that movie... I propose you listen to some of the most unimaginable things that have crossed my hands and ears over the years. You, listen to a fool, give yourself 5 minutes to lose by listening (reading, watching, eating, smelling...) to the same old stuff you already know how they are; if you don't take risks, it simply happens that your brain atrophies.

If the name of @[Annette] Peacock rings a bell, then spend 8 minutes and 47 seconds listening to this track by Nadah el Shazly and then look for her album "Ahwar" from 2017, because if Peacock had been born in Cairo (and about forty years later, but that - really - matters little in the economy of certain music...) she would sound exactly like this!
And, on the album, the music is even more experimental and dark. Nadah "radically reinvents the folk music of her native land from the early 19th century and explores new sound and harmonic frontiers. Using voice, field recordings, and instruments, she creates unsettling sound pieces and song forms that hijack the perception of time with their complex layers and dynamic structure." And our Nadah is not a novice: in Egypt, she was the singer of Shorba (who were quite well-known in her home country) and, even earlier, she started with a Misfitz cover band(!).
Music for all deserts that speaks of that "eternal feminine" which - for someone like me - remains the deepest and most fascinating mystery to continue to toy with.
