Music Recommendations
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
I’m not familiar with thier earlier releases but I love this two-guys prog rock band not only because both of them has an afro but because they knew how to use the idea of the ’single’ to its full extent (They just released a 77 minute single, 5 tracks) and while SPIN magazine recommends ‘The Widow’ track and describes it ‘Like Led zepplin with a bigger organ’, I recommend “L’via L’viaquez” for the smooth transitions between prog rock solos and sweet slow latin parts and the almost Oud-ish solos by the end of the 12:28 minutes track. I don’t know what the title means nor some of the lyrics of that track (latin lyrics) but it just does it to me.

Ùيروز - بيتي زغير بكندا
Fairouz is realizing in this track how suitable jazz music is for her. She sang this track in two concerts in canada last month. This track’s music is not composed by ziad, which is like ‘what?’. It’s written by her daughter Rima Al Rahbani and composed by Louise Gaste. For my fellow fairouz suckers out there, I need five requests to put this track online.
