Global Music Performance

“Nawwar” is the closing song of the self-titled debut album Al Tase3. The song is about a relatable human experience of everyday life and long-term love. Navigating increasing economic hardships, the term “Nawwar” relates to a person you would attribute as the light in your life.

Musically, Nawwar smoothly flows between multiple rhythms and musical ideas that are able to capture an interpretation of both traditional Arabic music and Rock, without any unnecessary bias from either genre, but rather serving as a direct translation of the shared emotional intensity in the heart of both.

Speaking of emotional intensity, Nawwar lyrically captures the understandable tensions that arise between loved ones facing rising costs and growing worries, while finding the strength and beauty in the enduring fight and love between them, which helps them get through even the darkest of times.

“Things are hard, but life is okay.”

The chorus of the song, a light in the face of a tough life, serves as a reminder to always focus on the light that your loved ones bring into your life, even if you don’t see eye-to-eye all the time, even if life is difficult. This made Nawwar a fan favorite during which the heart-light and love is shared between the band and the crowd. People are dancing, smiling, and casually feeling lighter… And just like the album, Nawwar is often the closing highlight of the band’s show.

Nawwar was recorded with the intent to capture a genuine performance that can relay the much needed love and light to regional and global listeners who, like us, are equally worried about the future and the difficulty it brings.

The feeling of warmth and closeness that this song creates, and its ability to bring people together, remind them of the love and light in their lives, and take them to a space where everything is going to be ok, is what makes “Nawwar” worthy of your consideration.
