about

For the third and final release in the ‘Thawra Records & Found Sound Nation’ co-release series, 4 expert musicians join forces to present the collaborative project “Baada Ab” (“After August”), a “super-group” of musicians formed by Mayssa Jallad (Safar), Omaya Malaeb (Mashrou’ Leila), Dani Shukri (Tanjaret Daghet) and Ezra Tenenbaum (Ezrat/Onebeat). The group was conceived during FSN’s Onebeat Lebanon music residency, creating two meaningful and impactful songs. Jallad’s brilliant lyricism tackles, with mature sensibility, sensitive themes of grief, loss, depression, and how we try to overcome it all. Both songs are a genuine and honest reflection of the collective shared experience and trauma of a people following the August 4 blast, its aftermath, and the simultaneous collapse of the Lebanese state. “Bi Kheir”, meaning “I’m okay”, captures the voices of the survivors in the few moments after the explosion, recounting each of the first conversations that the band members had with family and friends after surviving one of the largest non-nuclear explosion in human history. The looming question is “am I really okay?”. In turn, “Fil Aatma”, or “in the dark”, portrays a desensitized people, waiting for answers, stuck in a surreal realization of total loss of control and agency, displaced from reality, and watching time go by, like shadows in the dark.

With its expertly measured lyrical and musical performances, Baada Ab is a beautiful ode to the souls we lost, the grieving souls still with us, and essentially, the artists’ way of expressing and dealing with their grief, while echoing the thoughts of all those surviving in Lebanon today.
