    Al Hamra is a musical journey that started at the moment I left Syria. The name of the album reflects a hidden intersection between two places that influenced me: Al Hamra street in Beirut, Lebanon, The symbol of pluralism and diversity, and Al Hamra castle in Granada, Spain, which is one of the most magnificent representations of the arabic cultural influence in Spain and Europe.
    The music is based on three main musical directions, The Arabic music, expressed by the Oud, the Arabic lyrics and traditional music elements. The flamenco music brought by the grand flutist Jorge Pardo, the distinguished name in the flamenco scene, and the percussionist Sergio Martinez who twists the flamenco with groovy vibes, The Jazz music, introduced by the delicate pianist Albert Sanz through his rich harmonics, and the unique double bassist Masa Kamaguchi.

about

I finally got my first schengen visa to Spain and Europe, after a long process of waiting.
This kind of waiting is pretty typical for citizens of third world countries where we face daily war and instability.
At the moment I received the visa, my family had a big fiesta. My wife served us champagne, and said with her french accent: Chenchen (salut, or cheers) my mother replied spontaneously to her: Schengen!
Since then Schengen become our new cheers, this kind of happiness you get when you escape your country to start new chapters somewhere far away.
Yes, It is that kind of happiness which exists to resist the heartbreak of the war.
