With a vast discography featuring both emerging artists and some of the biggest names in Arabic music, Sleiman Damien is completely tapped into the region's pop genre. We asked him what he thinks of the phrase “Arab pop fusion”, which metrics actually matter to him, and why he thinks legacy superstars have more sticking power in today's fickle industry. We reflect on the role of ego in the region's music industry, comparing the “old guard” to emerging musicians and their approach to collaboration. Sleiman also talks about his experience working as a ghost producer and how he reacts emotionally to his own work. He also shares his mental health journey, especially when it comes to the emphasis placed on performance metrics and an obsession with knowing how people feel about his own creations. Sleiman Damien is a music producer, DJ and audio engineer from Beirut, Lebanon. Much of his work is focussed on the Arab pop genre. He has worked with music talents from across the region such as Georges Wassouf, Nassif Zeytoun, Haifa Wehbe, Assi Hallani, Ragheb Alama, Abeer Nehme, Dana Hourani, Maritta Hallani, Adonis, Zef and many more. Theme music: "Peninsular", Tarek Yamani
Faris Rahoma ist Journalist, Drehbuchautor und Schauspieler. Sein großes schauspielerisches Talent hat das arabische Publikum eine Spur vor dem Europäischen erkannt. An der Seite von Haifa Wehbe, der arabischen Rihanna, wie Faris sie wertschätzend nennt, wird er durch eine TV Serie über Nacht zum Superstar. Der George Clooney aus Österreich, wie ich Faris wertschätzend nenne, schafft seinen Durchbruch hierzulande spätestens mit dem Kinofilm „Die Migrantigen“. Weniger grantig, dafür ziemlich intrigant agiert er als Friseur Raoul mit den Vorstadtweibern, obwohl er doch im echten Leben ein ziemlich grader Michl ist. Ist das ein Grund weshalb er immer wieder Rollen mit dem Namen Michael spielt? Nicht als Michael, sondern als Faris bricht er gern Klischees und wünscht sich mit dem Namen Faris Endris Rahoma nicht weiterhin regelmäßig in eine Schublade gesteckt zu werden.In dieser Podcastfolge spricht er darüber, dass die enge Zusammenarbeit mit Familienmitgliedern auch Konfliktpotential mit sich bringt. Am Ende überwiegt jedoch die Freude über den gemeinsamen Erfolg. Außerdem gesteht er, kein guter Nein-Sager zu sein. Dabei ist ein Nein zu jemand anderem doch oft ein Ja zu sich selbst. Die Kunst - unangenehme Gedanken gezielt einfach einmal leiser zu drehen - beherrscht Faris hingegen sehr gut.

This week we're catching up with Angie Assal (who you might remember from previous episodes) Lebanese-American artist, dancer, aspiring musician, and creator of Sound of Mazzika, a line of jewelry and more inspired by Arabic music and culture. Angie explains why she got started studying Arabic percussion, and how it also led her to practice the martial art Bagua. She also talks about recovering from injuries and COVID hospitalization, and dream collaborations for her jewelry business (Haifa Wehbe, please listen). We also discuss how hypermobility is confusing, why we like showing up to parties when no one is there, and…

This episode is dedicated to the great Mr. Owain Phyfe, who has inspired me in so many ways since discovering his work now many, many moons ago. The picture below is exactly how I remember him; the day I first plowed dreamy-eyed but determinedly through the VA Renaissance fair, to find out where that -enchanting- music was coming from. And ever since, I have been positively captivated by his incredible voice, his passionate, unique creations, and his lyrical style. To my knowledge, Mr. Phyfe was a self-taught musician, ancient & medieval linguist and surely, a scholar, and for that, he blows me away even more. Sadly, he passed this year due to pancreatic cancer, but his memory, through his artistry and pure, captivating music, will live on. Thank you for your song, Mr. Phyfe. You were the first and only real bard I think I've ever met, and you inspire me to this day. ♥♥♥On a brighter note, I'd also like to give a shout-out to Madlenka, Bagoas, Mavi, Nina Amaya, and my other friends who're currently attending the Darbukastani Independence Days celebration this weekend. :D I wish I could be with you all, but my hips are shimmying in time with your music and my spirit is with y'all, wherever we each may be. :) ♥♥♥..Now, on to the music!
