Here’s our first music video!

Khach’s heart is in the mountains and since my heart follows his, we found each other up there!😂
There was no better place to represent the track Wholeness from our album Home to be released this Tuesday April 8, than this scenery between Tarchich and Sannine!
Thanks to the one and only Mark Khalifé who made this video, with the precious help of @eligenehmeh and @clara.nacouzi !❤️

One year ago, we were in the studio recording Hayeli’s debut album! Here is one of the rare moments captured that remained on the album and that shows the fun we had improvising for 5 days!
Join us for the Release Party on April 8 in Metro El Madina. We will also play a short set with @charbel_sawma and @abdosawma ! 🥳✨🤗🌺🌹🌷🔆

As promised, I’m revealing the title of the muwashah I recently arranged and recomposed parts for , though unfortunately, I won’t be releasing it for security reasons 😅
It’s “Ya man hawa warda el riyadi”, which is actually registered in SACEM under the Rahbani brothers (needless to say, I didn’t know that beforehand!).
Anyway, I’ve decided to move on to another muwashah. I have a couple of ideas in mind, but I’d love to hear your suggestions. You had plenty to say on my last muwashah posts 😉🤗
Yalla, let the ideas flow ! 😁 by @khalifedonna

While waiting for the sixth mass extinction, i wrote lyrics on Bach’s invention n4, here they are 👇🏼

Life can be so thrilling if your neighbours would let you live free and happy
Narcissism is a vice to fear when you’re involved involuntarily in games that lead to your defeat and consume in vain your energy
To confront is very hard, play the victim is not smart
Helplessly waiting for this to end and not fall apart!
Ah ah aaaaaaaaaahhhhh
The scream that dwells within my head and heart when lying has become so easy , can it be that life depends on interests of very few psychopaths to say the least, how can we do to kill the beast?
Imperialism, white colonialism, serving the big evil masked as sionism, accusing all the world of anti semitism
Can Justice be done for once sometime???
Writing those words bring relief but they won’t change our harsh and mere reality , Can i be crazyy???
Life can be depressing when you see what’s happening on and on , for generations with no hope to build a future filled with light and not some big fat stupid morons!!!!🤬

Being an independent artist today means having multi-craft skills.
One of the things I’ve learned during this journey is how to build my own website! ( and keep updating it 😅) without AI of course!
I’m proud of myself .

Here’s the middle part of my new arrangement of a Muwashah! Care to venture a guess which one it is?

P.S. There are no hints whatsoever! 😜
