Taken from 'Jarak Qaribak', out now: worldcircuit.ln...
Celebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. “Jarak Qaribak” translates, more or less, as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend”. It’s an expansive, inclusive sentiment. The songs on the album, and the singers, are drawn from all over the Middle East - and, in keeping with the theme established by the album’s title, each singer takes a turn at a tune from a country other than their own.

Why are you leaving, dear friends
Why are you living in grief
Why are you repenting the past
And he who forgot the love
I came to drink, to forget the grief
I poured love, it’s now mixed in my drink
I came to read, to shake off love
I poured your name, about you I always think
And he who forgot the love, love, love
He who forgot the love is a liar
I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough
Of being lonely and of my worries
I’m worn-out, worn-out, worn-out
My lover never called me
But don’t say I cried, oh I cried
A man’s tears are precious,
You’ll understand when he says I sought, I asked. You, my lover, who I longed for,
You’ll lie if you say I forgot, I forgot.
I came to drink ...
