This popular song performed by Siar Hashimi takes us to the frontier between Afghanistan and Pakistan and the most particular art of Qawwali. Tablas and an electronic drum pad alternate to set the pace for a flute, suggesting a place where tradition and modernity may meet.

lyrics

Siar Hashimi :
If your tousled hair is caught
By the westerly wind
Wherever a heart might be
It shall be entrapped
We launched the vessel of our patience
Into the ocean of bitterness
We know not where the flotsam
From this storm may run aground
If your tousled hair is caught
By the westerly wind
Wherever a heart might be
It shall be entrapped
Should the Sultan of these lands
Be impoverished by fate
Should he yet
Look to the poor?
If your tousled hair is caught
By the westerly wind
Wherever a heart might be
It shall be entrapped

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
