Cassana<p>Oh come on, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/random" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>random</span></a> country website! Today it's <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Tunisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tunisia</span></a> 🇹🇳, while yesterday we had its neighbour Libya. OK then! one of Tunisia's biggest genres is Malouf, but I've shared that the first time we did Libya, so let's go into new genres.<br>This is دارت الايام(Daret Layyem; "and the days passed") by Nawather; a band formed in Tunis in 2013. The <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/genre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genre</span></a> could best be described as <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Arabic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arabic</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/folk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folk</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metal</span></a> or <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Oriental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oriental</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/symphonic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>symphonic</span></a> metal, since it incorporates <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bass</span></a>, electric <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a>/s, and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DrumKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrumKit</span></a>, but also Arabic <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/instrument" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instrument</span></a>/s such as <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/darbuka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darbuka</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nay</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/qanun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qanun</span></a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/strings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strings</span></a> in a rather tasteful <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fusion</span></a> of styles. The lead <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/female" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>female</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/vocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vocal</span></a> is nicely <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/melodic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>melodic</span></a> while the metal vocals, which we only get briefly, add an edge, but aren't over the top. FYI this was the first time I've heard metal vocals using Arabic. Their overall lyrical themes seem to be <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hope</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/resistence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resistence</span></a>, and struggle.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nWXOQZ8ys" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nWXOQZ8y</span><span class="invisible">s</span></a></p>
