    On December 6th, the German-Syrian band Shkoon will release their long-awaited debut album “Rima”, sending out a message of cultural diversity to the world. Shkoon’s concerts have attracted a diverse audience for many years, bringing together people of all religions, colours and backgrounds.

    Musically, the album is situated between influences of electronic downbeat, deep house, dub and hip-hop. The band members come from a variety of different musical backgrounds and have created their very own sound with a mix of influences between the Arabic and Western world. Piano, violin, synthesizers, percussion and vocals merge oriental melodies with western electronic beats, taking the listener on a journey that blurs the boundaries of cultures.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Rima via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Lyrics by Ameen Khayer

هي المهمة تغيَّرت و المشكلة ما تحلحلت
فالحب في زمن الطُهُور كل العشق في ترمستنة

It was so important that things have changed
But the problem remains unsolved
The love to the cage of traditions is like loving tera mastana [nonsense rubbish]

و انتاجت اخت المسألة
كل الحلول مظلمة
هذا حلال هذا حرام
و الدنيا هي سبه له له

So the sister of this problem is fucked
All solutions to the problem failed

This is halal this is haram
It doesn't matter because life is random

َِانسى المهم و اركب حلا
طول النهار وأطول
انت وانت المسألة

Forget what’s important and make love with Hala all day long and even longer
Because at the end you and you are the reason

هي المهمة تغيرت يا خيي و تدهورت و تطربقت
فالحب في زمن الطهور كفيل عشق لنملة
و انتاجت اخت المسألة
ياخويي و ضاع الحل من جم سنة
خليك ع المستور مكسور بس مهما ما انكسرت تقوی
،فالحياة لمن يعيش بها وليس غابة والبقاء للاقوى

It is so important that it changed, brother
And it got even more fucked up
Because the love to the cage of traditions is like an elephant loving an ant
And again the sister of the problem, brother, got fucked
The solution of the problem got lost years ago
Stay poor but in a hidden way
But no matter how many times you got knocked out, each time you fall, you get up stronger
Life is for the people who are living it
It's not a jungle where the strongest survives

بس اتذكر انو هي قصة عنبر
هي قصة كل مظلومة
هي قصة كل مظلوم
هي قصة قصيرة مكتوبة بقلم مشظوم..

لكي تزيل الهموم

Just remember it's a story of “anber” [double meaning: prison cell, ambergris]
It's a story of everyone unjustly treated
But in the end it’s a story that was written with a broken pencil
So it removes all of your concerns
