Release Notes:
The same sun shines into the house of two unsuspecting souls, whose front doors play a game of hide and seek. The game is over as soon as their eyes meet. Jarra translates to neighbor, evoking the dance of side-by-side homes and their dwellers glimpsing fragments of each other’s lives. Through effusive downtempo, Shkoon re-ignites a traditional Iraqi story, one that sings of neighbors falling in love, weaved with melancholy and celebration, transposing of the aurora of a simpler past onto the poignancy of the present.
Stories travel through eras and peoples, carried by those who conjure them. Jarra comes alive to the tune of Shkoon’s vocalist Ameen alongside his fellow countryman the gypsy Violinist Maher and the German Musician Thorben. The remixing artists infuse folklore with evocative modern soundscapes; Nacim Gastli’s progressive passion, Boshoco’s frenzied grooves, Keybe Segg & Pandhora’s emotive deep house heights. They all explore a different facet, with words, sounds, gestures and signs of the past coming alive as a musical tale is revived for dark and light dance floors alike.

Lyrics ~
ليش ليش يا جارة ما تردين الزيارة
زعلانة انتي علينا ما تردين الزيارة
يابا لش يا جارة يا جارة يا جارة
كل كلمة حب نحييها معانا
وكلمة العذال نرميها ورانا
ما يهزك ريح يا مركب هوانا .. مايهزك ريح
طول ما حنا على بحرك مشينا
ما علينا .. يا حبيبي ماعلينا
من كلام الناس ما كنا درينا
لو يقولوا عننا مهما يقولوا
انتهينا عاد نحنا الا بدينا
كلمة ونظرة وإشارة صرنا نحبك يا جارة
صارت الدنيا لجنة وحبنا كثرت اخباره
