Lament for Al-Andalus - Epic Arabic Music

[@faryafaraji]

Vocals by Youssuf Nasser, oud by Mohab Attalah, ney and kawala by Peter Iskander, arrangement by Farya Faraji. The melody is not mine but based on traditional recitations of this poem using this melodic motif. This is a poem by Abu al-Baqa ar-Rundi, who lived in Al-Andalus in the 13th century and saw its conquest to the Catholics during the Reconquista, an event he laments in this poem, giving us an insight into the contemporary Muslim view of the conflict. The maqam used here is Bayat, and the instruments are basic ones from the Arab world and used in Andalusian music of the Middle-Ages; a frame drum, oud, and two traditional Arabic flutes; the ney and kawalla.

[@abduljaleel4467]

I'm not in anyways against Spanish people and i respect them. but while looking at a general overview of history fall of al andalus was disastrous consequences for for not only Muslim world but for the entire world as well. Also it bore a new evil called colonialism

[@pablogarcia.05]

@abduljaleel4467 Firstly, the fall of Al andalus didn't cause colonialism, but globalism, colonialism was a merely part of this new globalisation. And in fact it didn't even happen because of the fall of Al Andalus, but because of the fall of Constantinople, which forced Iberians to explore new routes to the Indies

[@abduljaleel4467]

@@pablogarcia.05 true i don't think you are wrong but Constantinople was a major part of it. But also the fall of Granada was the second major factor which contributed to the development of colonialism as queen isabella and king Ferdinand got the political power, political will to see make a new empire for spain. Thus imperialism kinda kick start as well

[@abduljaleel4467]

@LeanWasoski buddy what is the difference between colonialism and conquest. Has ottoman empire massacred the entire balkans and filled em with turks, has ottoman empire forced converted Orthodox Christians forcibly has ottoman empire economically exploited the balkans to the point they starved to death. Again asking did if the aforementioned questions apply to Al Andalus. Do not mix up a coloniser and a conquerer

[@sunnitemalikiteasharite8005]

@@pablogarcia.05 I am from North African Andalusi family, and your words are not correct, a colonial policy on the conquered islamic territories with spanish settlers from northern iberian peninsula roots background and southern french, germans, italians, dutchs etc is in historical chronicles. The so-called "reconquista" was a series of international crusades launched against the Muslims of al-Andalus and colonial policy. Some academic genetic studies have confirmed this population replacement through the analysis of ancient Muslim individuals from the Islamic era and current Iberian populations living in the same area, they observed that some admixtures (including the North African) are lower in current populations living where these bodies were discovered. We must not forget that in addition to the colonial policy on conquered Muslim lands, there were also mass deportations, this is why many North Africans like my family are from al Andalus roots, you must not be revisionist and deny History. As is often the case unfortunately, many spanish and portuguese (not all but the majority) prefer to keep quiet about this great tragedy, but our families are witnesses to this policy. Moreover, the Portuguese and Spanish Christians continued their policy of expansion and colonization in North Africa after conquering al Andalus (just as example the city of Oran in current Algeria which was after the conquest etc "fully" spanish and christian), proof that the conquest of al Andalus did indeed open a new period, and these conquests in the Maghreb had the same motivations and objectives, Ceuta and Mellila are remnants of this colonial policy in Africa. It's just that they didn't succeed in Africa in doing the same thing that they succeeded in al-Andalus and then in the Americas, excepting in Canarias Islands (even if original canarians people were not muslims but north africans pagans).

[@Ayhan-j8l]

I have a question for you, do the Spaniards hate the history of Islamic Andalusia or are they proud of it?

[@gergerger5888]

@@Ayhan-j8l That's a good question. It depends both on the age of the person and its region. Usually, elder people educated during Francoism tend to have a more negative opinion about islamic Spain, while younger generations (lets say people under 50) tend to have a more positive one. It also depends on religion and ideology. Also, Andalusians tend to consider islamic Spain more positivelly than northern Spaniards. And very catholic and conservative people tend to dislike it while progresists and liberals seem prouder of that part of our history. But I would say that the general opinion is positive. What it is usually taught in schools is that muslim Spain was one of the most richest and culturally advanced regions in Europe, while northern Christian kingdoms were poorer. Muslims also introduced Greek maths in Europe and they did major contributions to medicine, astronomy or agriculture. So, to sum, I would say that people in Spain are generally proud of the Al Andalus legacy of Spain. Even me, that I am from a town in the Aragonese Pyrenees (where islamic presence was null), and I would define myself as conservative, I am proud of it, although you could find people that tell you the oposite, maybe it is like 80%-20%.

[@Ayhan-j8l]

@@gergerger5888 Thank you for the good and complete answer you gave❤️, I always study the history of Islamic Spain and Portugal, and I know that golden age. contrary to what you said, in the Middle East and Iran, all this is the opposite, and older people have a more positive opinion about Islam, but the generation Its young people, who are often uneducated, consider ancient Iran to be more glorious, and there is a huge wave of anti-Islam among the young generation of countries like Iran and Turkey, who consider all Islamic governments to be a black spot in their history.

@@Ayhan-j8l I mean Iran was like one of the most culturally and economically richest places in the world before Islam, i think it's pretty normal to have respect for that past and it is not a sign of being "uneducated" on the contrary. Not like the maghreb countries who apparently their history starts with the arab invasion and have forgotten their berber, roman, and phoenician past. To your question about how spaniards feel about the islamic period, is usually positive as in the end the vast majority of muslim people in Spain were basically converted natives or mozarabs, so it doesnt feel like they really were some strangers.

Thanks for this version! it is a somhow classic lament for the Al Andalus defeats during 13th century, but it also reminds me a fragment of the Coplas por la muerte de su padre, by the knight and poet Jorge Manrique: ¿Qué se hizo el Rey Don Juan? Los Infantes de Aragón ¿qué se hicieron? ¿Qué fue de tanto galán, qué de tanta invención que trajeron? ¿Fueron sino devaneos, qué fueron sino verduras de las eras, las justas y los torneos, paramentos, bordaduras y cimeras?11 ¿Qué se hicieron las damas, sus tocados y vestidos, sus olores? ¿Qué se hicieron las llamas de los fuegos encendidos de amadores? ¿Qué se hizo aquel trovar, las músicas acordadas que tañían? ¿Qué se hizo aquel danzar, aquellas ropas chapadas que traían?

I know this comment is going to be lost in the sea of others, but Farya, i have specific questions about a specific song, done by Lisa Gerrard; The Silver Gun. Supposedly it's Urdu, but I can't find out at all if it's her re-working and "covering" (for lack of a better word) a traditional Urdu song that was "originally" performed by Robert Palmer for a western audience, or if it's something that was made up by Mr. Palmer entirely. I'd love to hear what this song sounds like within the original musical context it existed in, if it ever did, so that's my ridiculous request for a future piece of music for you to tackle at some point. I mean, my other request would be "do something inspired by the Scythians," but I'm pretty sure that would be a much harder task, hah, since all we have is a few musical instrument discoveries from tombs.

As andalusian I could also give a little insight if you want a real actual song of the last moments of Al-Andalus: I suggest you to investigate about the romance "Paseábase el Rey Moro" (The moor king was walking), as long as I can remember is the story of the last moments of the kingdom of Granada it was kept and told in spanish (My rough translation): The moor king was walking, in his city of Granada, from Elvira gate, to Bibarrambla's gate. Alas, my Alhama! (Alhama of Granada was the first place to fall into the Catolic Kings counteroffensive) Letters were sent that Alhama has fallen, the king threw them in the fire, and killed the messenger. Alas, my Alhama! The king dismounted his donkey, and he mounted a horse, galloped the Zacatín road up to the Alhambra Alas, my Alhama! He ordered his trumpets to thunder , his silver trumpets were played, and the drums, he made them to play, roaring for the bloodthirsty Mars Alas, my Alhama! One to one, two to two, the moors in the land and Granada each one calling themselves and going towards his king, Alas, my Alhama! "What's this my king? Why do you call us with all this sound?" "A bad new I give to you all, that brave christians have taken Alhama" Alas, my Alhama! There was an old alfaquí (a fiqh, a sage of the Law) with his long and white beard He spoke like this to his king, to the king of Granada Alas, my Alhama! "Good done my lord, good done! You killed the Bencerrajes (A prominent family in Granada known as warriors) the very best of Granada, and took from Córdoba Tornadizos( A "Tornadizo" was a christian that had become muslim, they were seen as less reliable)" Alas, my Alhama! "For that my lord, you deserve a very doubled doom To lost in one day, the kingdom and Granada!" Alas, my Alhama!. Also I find very interesting that the musical and rythmic motif used in this song and in the romance I translate are quite similar, I can see how it could be transformed one to another.

@LeanWasoskiI find this guy in every single comment. Interesting 🧐

[@Pokesus]

More music and poetry from Al-Andalus please, i'm from Spain. :)

[@noorali-s5f8n]

But it's over

[@abhishtsrivastava9985]

The singing and the lyrics both are hauntingly beautiful, eerily reminding of the later fall of Constantinople. It'll be great if the original Arabic lyrics can be provided in Latin transliteration. Also few requests: Delhi Sultanate Battle of Kadesh John Brown's body

Hey Farya - have you considered doing music from fiction - like Lord of the rings or something similar, but with your own rendition and thought behind the idea of songs. Doing a different melody for "Misty mountain" or "Song of Durin" for example. I think that it would sound really good, and the timing for it might be great right now. Cheers you wonderful human being!!

[@Jeremiah-h4u]

He did one for the elders scroll, and total war way back, I think for this channel he rather focus more on historical and folk music if I’m not to be mistaken

RECONQUISTA SYMPHONY LETS GOOOOOO

[@kaykysoares9152]

Wow, that would be legendary lol A song in occitan comes to mind, "Senhor, Per Los Nostres Peccatz"... Seeing a Faraji version of this song would be amazing!

[@TheHideousStrength]

Yeah, all of Farya’s Occitan songs are really great, including that one written by Richard the Lionheart

[@DM5550Z]

DEUS VULT

[@justinianthegreat1444]

We making the moors cope with this one frfr

[@nathanielmartins5930]

This is not at all a reconquista song. This is a Requiem of what the Reconquista wrought.

[@KyrieIngiusEleison]

After watching your documentary on Orientalism, I understand I was ignorant and I am glad you've educated myself and allowed myself to experience traditional music. For that I thank you. I will admit as a *filthy*(Sarcasm) "westerner" it does sound 'off tune' in a way I without a music background cannot articulate correctly, however not unpleasant. I enjoyed this track.

[@creatureplayzallways3519]

we need more of this it’s so nice and good, I wish more of these genres of songs that has to do with arab empire prime

Off topic but I would love to see you collab with history youtubers and film composers. It would add a degree of authenticity to works compared the musical tropes and stock music they usually use.
