Oghneya

by Ferkat al Ard

Arranged by Lebanese visionary Ziad Rahbani, this unique gem fuses traditional Arabic musical frameworks with Brazilian bossa nova and lush baroque pop orchestration. Created during the tumultuous period of the Lebanese Civil War, its deeply poetic lyrics reflect the anxieties and hopes of the era. The album stands as a breathtakingly sophisticated anomaly in Middle Eastern popular music.
