شاغبني الضيّ فابتسمت ووهبتُه عيناي فهزج فجرُ البيدِ ورمحَتْ خيوله وارتدت الشمسُ اللؤلؤ ورنّمت وانسابَ الحمام على نسمات الهواء العنبرية فالتفتُّ رأيتُ النُسّاكَ شاخصينَ تجاه الأفق المتفجّر فنظرتُ رأيتُ الله قد احتال فيها عيداً فذبتُ فيهِ ورقصتْ ------------------- Fajrolbeed [A Desert Dawn] A poem by Ramez Farag Translated by Nariman Youssef Teased by light I smiled And offered my eyes The Desert Dawn sang And set his horses galloping The sun put on her pearls And started humming Doves flowed On the umber breeze I turned I saw the monks rooted Before an explosive horizon I looked I saw God Celebrating I dissolved in Him And danced

about

Thulth takes us to lush and complex grounds with its rich sound, flowing with gentle melancholic melody and multiple sonic layers, and equally taking us into sudden ferocious walls of sound - a sharp reminder of Tamer Abu Ghazaleh’s abilities as one of the few to imbue the region’s sound with sentiments of fury and restlessness, vocal prowess, gutsy modal twisting, fragmented structuring, constant shapeshifting in styles and – sometimes - dizzying vocal harmonies.
