    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

Traditional children song & lyrics by El Far3i

يلاتنام يلاتنا..
وادبحلك طير الحمام
روح يا حمام لا تصدق نضحك ع ريما لتنام ٢
نضحك ع ريما لا تنام نضحك ع ريما لاتنام
نضحك ع ريما لتنام

Go to sleep, go to sleep
And I will sacrifice a pigeon for you [arabic saying]
So you can fall asleep
Oh bird don't listen to me
I am just lying to Rima so she falls asleep.

تيشه تشي تيشه تشي..
الخوخ تحت المشمشي
تيشه تشي تيشه تشي..
الخوخ تحت المشمشي
Teshitshe, teshitshe [sound of the wind]
The plum under the apricot tree [childrens song]
Teshitshe teshitshe
The plum under the apricot tree

وكلما هب الهوا بقطف لريما المشيمشة
وكلما هب الهوا بقطف لريما المشيمشة
بقطف لريما المشمشة..
And everytime the wind blows
I am gonna pick an apricot for you
And everytime the wind blows
I am gonna pick an apricot for you
Rima, I am gonna pick an apricot for you

يالله تنام ريما و نحنا نضا صاحيين
لإنه الواقع بلعب فينا و ريمة بتعرفش البلالين …
مش سامعه إلا صوت شبيه .. كثير شديد زي بوكس خبيب
غنوا قولوا .. انتي منا .. بلكي الجرح يطيب

Let us stay awake and let Rima sleep
Because reality is playing us and Rima doesn’t know balloons
She only heard a similar sound, very hard, like Khabib’s punch
Sing and tell her that she is one of us, perhaps the wounds heal

هذا الجرح ملعون ..هذا الجرح قديم ..
فكرت اني مسكون .. طلع الكل مريض ..
منضلنا نقول بتصير نقول بسيطة بكرة تفرج
غلطت و قلت دايمة فبيت الأجر واقف محرج

These wounds are vicious, these wounds are old
I thought I am haunted, seems that everyone else is sick
We keep saying it is ok, it happens, tomorrow it’ll go away
I messed up and said “more moments to come” at the funeral, now I am very embarrassed


جيبوا كمّادات كمامات سدات دنين
النوع الي بيعمي البصر جيبوا منه تنين
ماكلين مكسيين بستنوا بيوم الأمل يبين
حمينا يا رب من الماركسين و ابعد عنا بني أمية

Get surgical masks, tape and ear plugs
If there is any type that makes you lose sight bring it as well
They’re well fed and well dressed, only waiting for hope to suddenly show up
God save us from Marxists and The Umayyads

صدّق يا حمام بيذحبوك زي ناس كثير
من يومهم أصلاً فاسدين عملوا من الخوخة آيس تي
و قدموا بكافيه... بيحكوا عنا فيها إرهابيين
نسيوا ريما و راما ريم و إنه الليستا لسه طويلة ..

Believe, oh pigeon, they’ll slay you like they’ve done to others before you
They’ve always been corrupted, they’ve made ice tea out of the plum
And they’ve served it at a café where they call us terrorists
They forgot Rima , Rama and Reem and the list is still very long

تيشه تشي تيشه تشي..
الخوخ تحت المشمشي
تيشه تشي تيشه تشي..
الخوخ تحت المشمشي

Teshitshe, teshitshe
The plum under the apricot tree
Teshitshe, teshitshe
The plum under the apricot tree

و كل ماهب الهوا بقطف لريما المشمشة
و كل ماهب الهوا بقطف لريما المشمشة..

And everytime the wind blows, I am gonna pick an apricot for Rima
And everytime the wind blows, I am gonna pick an apricot for Rima
