I've discovered him recently and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with his whole vibe. I think he's underrated but at the same time, my little "secret" 💕
hey! here you go! sorry If it's not the best quality, I translated it exactly how he said it: 1) "What actually happened this past 2 years went really quick in Belgium and the rest of Europe. I am somewhere and 2h later I'm on the way to somewhere else. And now I am here for a whole week, a whole week at home. Sleeping in my own bed, it's pretty nice." 2) 0:28 "This is an ud, old in Arabic, it's a traditional Arabic instrument. It's similar to a medieval lute, but much cooler, I think (cute laugh). I have one because if my father. he had a long carrier in the music industry but he was never famous. The famous one was my grandfather, the father of my father. He was an actor, musician and singer. My grandfather occurred a lot in films, they sang his tracks in the movies. And so he became famous in Egypt and whole the Arabic world. His breakthrough movie is the most fun: Hassan and Nayime it's kinda like a Romeo and Julia story but in Egypt. He played the romeo figure: Hassan. He was 19y/old it was his first movie. Before that he was really poor but the movie made him famous" 3) 1:50 "(starts playing Cigar) As musician, as starting musician you always get asked: Who are your favorite groups? To what music do you listen? What music influenced you? And of course there are always inspirations but when I make music I don't really think about that stuff. Songwriting it is something.. I call it exploring of being the subconscious, it's the only thing you can really do on tour. " 4) 2:30 "Yes I didn't expect it at all, it's a crazy existence as artist that released an album (sings habibi as an angel). lot's of waiting but that's fun, lot's of creativity comes from boredom. Sometimes I like to be bored"
C'est très sympa de l'écouter dans sa langue. Il n'est pas timide et parle de la musique avec la même passion que quand il chante. Effectivement le flamand n'est pas un langage courant. C'eût été génial d'offrir une traduction....
