Before the heart, there was time. Then the miracle occured. The heart came into being. With the command, the beat began. The first blow and the substance shakes with “Fuad” the inital moment of life where movement is born.
“Fuad” is power, sound and rhthym. The heart begins life zealously, beating fast… Speeds up, slows down ; gets high, gets down. Desire, fear, love, joy, sorrow, music,ecstacy, shock, fatigue, attack, disease, halt and restart.

Then a signal to the substance, and comes the moment of ceascing… “”Fuad”". From the minute infinity to the magnanimous one, from nothing to being, “Fuad” commences the universe. There, neither the first nor the last can be defined. Absolute being is the sole reality. Before the heart, the moment of the heart, after the heart; this is the question. There are moments when the heart is broken, that’s the instance that break “Fuad”. The happiest moment of the heart is “Fuad”. It sees, hears, touches, tastes, smells, loves, discerns, feels with “Fuad”. And we think with “Fuad”.

The talent we have and the talents we can never discover are “Fuad”. Logic is formed at the heart, and might be cruel or loving as granted. “Fuad” is in the service of matter, whether human or not, known or unknown, and whether will be discovered, be it living or non-living. Yearning for “Fuad” is a gift to the dreams of humanity.

Album: Ila Hounak إلى هناك
Artists: Amine & Hamza M’Raihi أمين وحمزة المرايحي
Country: Tunisia

Amine and Hamza: two Tunisian brothers, playing respectively the Oud and the Kanoun the two major instruments of the classical Arabic music.
Since their very young age; those two virtuoso brothers were raised with the classical Arab music which allowed them to develop an amazing mastery of their instruments. Nevertheless, they have since then evolved into diverse musical traditions including classical western music, jazz, flamenco, indian, persian music and many other musical traditions…
Amine and Hamza are leaders of a new voice into the Arabic music scenery; anchored in the classical Arabic tradition but opened on the diverse musical styles. They are the image of a new generation proud of their multiple identities but open and tolerant towards other cultures.
Amine and Hamza have performed in many prestigious scenes all over the world including The Arab World Institute in Paris , the BBC ……., the Medina Theatre in Beirut , Cairo Opera house etc…..
They have recorded and published 6 albums featuring musicians from all over the world and from different musical traditions all from their composition.
Far away from the musical stereotypes, an open invitation to travel and dream in a world where frontiers and geographical barriers are abolished…
