Friday Breakfast Blend presents:

My original intention was to make a show for the 2017 Graduates, but there were a few things I wanted to get in in addition, namely there’s a ska festival this weekend in Fredricksburg which I thought you should hear, and my a couple of my favorite Palestinian musicians just released new albums, so you know I’m going to play that along with some North African Rai goodness. I’ve also got SOCA, Arabic pop, and some killer female fronted Jazz/rock/swing to share.

Song: Laissez Passer
Artist: Toot Ard
I do not exist on the ID card
A string and a piece of wood are my gunpowder
Without a nationality, without borders
And if you ask me I would say,
I play the ´oud.
Laissez Passer; your name…your image isn’t familiar
Laissez Passer; your origin…your roots aren’t known
Laissez Passer; your country…your homeland isn’t known
With music I become a flying bird
I change my feathers, I change my strings
between my letters…words of fire
Arabic, African, ´oud, and guitar
Laissez Passer; your name…your image isn’t familiar
Laissez Passer; your origin…your roots aren’t known
Laissez Passer; your country…your homeland isn’t known

Haji
Apo and the Apostles
Ta’aal nk’od nshrab cahwe (Let’s sit down and drink the coffee)

Doktor halel koondarji (A doctor has become a shoe-maker)
Akoolak e, akoolak el saraha (Let me tell you something, something honest)
Bali balo bas maskhara (My will, his well, it’s all mockery)

Ana mish dayel, mashetha (I won’t stay, I’ve played my part)
Haji, keef el hal ya man (My old man, how are you)
Sa’alooni wen el zaman (They’ve asked me where the time has gone)
Ta’aal ntla’aa nokol mansaf (Let’s go eat some mansaf)
