🧿 after 2 years, our debut album Ghoyoum غيوم is finally out. It has been a wonderful journey, we hope you enjoy it. The full lyric video for Hmool El Safar حمول السفر is out on YouTube. This is the first track we want to highlight, it’s a song that tells stories and paints images of home; it is inspired by the countryside in eastern Syria along the Euphrates River. It’s written in the style of the folk taalila song that is popular in the Euphrates area in eastern Syria.
