Despite the challenges posed by the outbreak of the new “Corona” virus on the people of the world, he was credited with inspiring a number of Arab singers to produce works that express this stage and its difficulties, as they provided songs in empty streets during the curfew that glorified the sacrifices of the “known” soldiers, from doctors Nurses, workers, journalists, civilian ambulance teams, army and police soldiers.
In a new video, singer Ragheb Alama appears at the intersection of Ring Street in the center of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, which was the scene of the October 17 protests, putting a protective mask on his face as he stood alone performing a song called "Knights of the Stage." In the scenes of the song that was directed by the Lebanese Sami Saab, a sign walks through the streets completely empty of passers-by, and then returns to his home to address the workers, under the difficult circumstances “in a decided fear that kills us, and it is difficult to get through with the difficult conditions ... this time you are our hope even if you were if you were Qallal .. All the world is afflicted by what happened to the matter .. You are the knights of the stage and the heroes .. You are not tired of your anxiety .. In the first row, I stood you .. and the country was eaten with your neck and your hopes were pinned on you. ”
The lyrics of the song, written by Lebanese poet Nizar Francis, composed and composed by composer Jean-Marie Riachi.
And Alama said: «There are doctors, nurses, workers, journalists, and civilian ambulance teams, and before them there were soldiers on the fronts and warriors .. all of them are real heroes and knights and they deserve to be saluted. We did not feel the greatness of their actions except when they gave us the life line and gave us life. ''
He added: “My song is for every warrior and steadfast person who decided to kill fear, disease and epidemic, and fought a battle for survival. This is a message to humanity, and our role as artists is to be present and influential. The song was filmed completely safely, as everyone who contributed to it worked from its location, whether at home, the office or hospitals that deal with cases of Corona infection.
In keeping with the decision not to mix, the poet, the poet, writes words from his home, the composer plays the role remotely, and the singer records from his home, while clips of doctors, nurses, paramedics, rescue teams and a red cross are displayed. Mark was keen to give space to hope at the end of the song, as a child wearing a medical protective mask appears on the same street, but he strikes off this face, indicating the end of the struggle with this disease one day, as Mark affirms. Ragheb Alama was not the only Lebanese artist to initiate the "Corona" crisis, and his fellow Marwan Khoury gave a short song that he did not want to consider as an integrated work under the title "Heidi is not rich". Her words say: “Heidi is not rich. Hi, God is a greeting .. For those who are tired, and risk their lives, like the rest of the sand .. And this is the greatest issue .. a human being carries .. Khieu Man .. in the name of humanity. ”
Khoury said: “The songs in the next stage will be affected by the event that struck the entire earth. We are no longer alone in the universe. A fierce visitor has come to us and will impose his reality on us to realize with him the value of familiarity, encounter and social customs, which we suddenly lost without warning.” On the other hand, there is an army of warriors fighting this killer, and the least estimate is that we salute the championships of this standing army in front of doctors, nurses, journalists, security forces, and paramedics, and the conditions have been that they are at the front while we are isolated.
Khoury believes that “before (Corona) will not be the same after him on all levels,” saying: “As an artist he has always sung for unity, isolation and separation from loved ones, but this time he experiences a new experience, where unity and isolation have turned into a fixed reality, not from artistic imagination. ».
Khoury plans to release another song soon, which says her words: «When life hardens you and traps you into a room .. It feels a moment tired and surrenders, it is not enough .. and its hour understands how joy, laughter, and familiarity are .. The price is not what happened by chance .. Completely .. She no longer looked behind .. In Ischia, the pain between the lines would write her with a tapra. ”
For his part, Jordanian artist Omar Al-Abdallat released a singer poem in the style of the Jordanian Badia, accompanied by playing the Rababaa instrument entitled "Corona", written by the Saudi poet Dr. Saleh Al-Shadi, in which Al-Abdullah addressed many of the scenes that took place in the countries of the Arab world and the world as a whole. The performance, he said, “What happened? Where is the truth, where is it? What changed the situation, may God make it good .. Washington today complains about it and Beijing .. And everyone seeks the conclusion and its interpretation .. I said God knows best and we do not know and do not know ». Al-Abdallat released the song "Corona", through its official channel on the site "YouTube", including the lyrics and their verses, as part of a video of a number of scenes of the Jordanian capital, Amman, on its empty streets during the curfew.
Ragheb Alama: «In a determined fear that kills us and in difficult conditions ... this time you are our hope, even if you are a slogan .. and a homeland, eat your neck and your hopes hang on you.”
