Lebanese singer/composer Ahmed Kaabour who has been singing social and humanitarian concerns oriented songs during Ramadan for more than 15 years, returned this year with his new song Wa Tetlaa Haltanhideh (This Sigh Goes Out), according to the daily Al Hayat.
The Lebanese singer prepared his song to be directed by the Future TV channel and sung as usual by the children at Mohammed Khaled’s Social Establishment.
Kaabour held in his new song an attitude against the horror that has stricken the world in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in the US. “I felt that I was strong with the children’s tongues,” he said.
The song tells about the story of a small girl who makes drawings on the walls of her house as other world children do. The evils come and disfigure the drawings and change the name of the girl. They handcuff her and prohibit her from drawing. At this moment she screams and says, “I want to sing always. My tiny hands will grow bigger and stronger in future.”
Kaabour has another musical performance in the series Al Bahth A’n Saladdin (Search for Saladdin) directed by the Syrian director Najdat Anzur which is aired during Ramadan by more than an Arab satellite channel.
“This is the second time in which I collaborate with Anzur after the musical introduction for the series Bakaya Sowar (Remains of photos),” he said.
The music time in the series is one hour but its preparation took four months. Despite the Lebanese artist humbleness, he considers his music in the series as a turn in the world of music nowadays. This is due to the fact that it included different musical climates. Among these is the European climate dominated by the church, clerical and power nature and depicted by the scenes about Crusaders and their wars.
The Arab Islamic climate is depicted by the scenes on Saladdin wars and victories including the song Tala’a Al Badru A’laina -- Albawaba.com
