Abdel Wahab Hellawy: - “In my view, what Nada Al-Qalaa did is wrong and did not please me, and Nada bore the consequences of that.
Is it possible after this long struggle that I write a word that distorts the text that expresses my vision of politics in Sudan? ”

The Sudanese artist, Nada al-Qalaa, set off a fierce battle in the Sudanese arena, after she added the word “Qahh” (abbreviation of the term forces of freedom and change, the political incubator for the forces of the Sudanese revolution), to her song “Yama Politics”, arousing the displeasure of the author who denied that the word is in his text And the resentment of the voices affiliated with "Freedom and Change," which includes about 80 Sudanese civilian political groupings.
And the artist Nada al-Qalaa had added the word “Qahh” in the text of the song “Yama al-Siyasa,” which she sang recently, in which she criticized what politics had done in Sudan, and attacked all political parties and their marches, and what she called the game of chairs, considering that she is responsible for what has historically happened in terms of failures. And that the only constant is the simple people (who are in their condition), according to the lyrics.
The criticism came to Nada, who some described as "the enemy of the revolution", after she replaced the word "neither front nor communist" with the phrase "neither impudence nor communist", which means equating it with the "Islamic National Front", which expresses the salvation and rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, which exploded. The December revolution was against it, with the "forces of freedom and change" that led the revolution.
Words before "freedom and change"
The author of the song, the poet Abdel Wahab Halaoui, said in statements carried by Sudanese newspapers, “I wrote a poem (Yama Politics) five years ago, and the forces of (Freedom and Change) (Qah) were not present at the time, and I published the poem in the newspapers.
Finally, the artist Nada al-Qalaa called me, and she said that she liked the poem, and she wanted to sing it, so she agreed, but I was surprised by the insertion of the word (rude) during singing, and when I asked her where she came from this word, she said: It is an addition from me.
"In my opinion, what Nada Al-Qalaa did is wrong, and it did not please me, and Nada bore the consequences of that."
Is it possible after this long struggle that I write a word that distorts the text that expresses my vision for politics in Sudan? ”
It is noteworthy that Hellawi said in a press interview with the newspaper "Al Jarida" in January 2018, with a published text of the poem, that "I did not and will not have a relationship with politics, and I do not like those who mix the country with the government."
The singer has no right to change the words
The Sudanese journalist and analyst residing in Cairo, Abdul Jalil Suleiman, told Emirates Today that “the singer or singer has no right to change the lyrics of a song without referring to the author, and to obtain his explicit approval for this change in all cases, regardless of the lyrics or the area of the song.” .
Suleiman added, “Even saying that the song criticizes all political parties from all directions, and“ Qaht ”which means“ forces of freedom and change ”is an umbrella for political parties, it does not justify Nada al-Qala’s addition of the word“ Qaht ”without asking permission, because the word has a specific meaning, And a certain date, related to the December revolution ».
In response to what Nada Al-Qalaa said about her refusal of a specific party’s offer to join her ranks, Suleiman said that “Nada al-Qalaa had no political orientation in any given day, and the days of the ousted president Omar al-Bashir used to sing at government concerts, and therefore her words about the aforementioned show lacked credibility , And the Sudanese left was considered a defender of ideas rejected from his point of view ».
Regarding the position of Nada al-Qalaa on the Sudanese revolution, Suleiman said, “Nada did not appear in the December 2018 revolution, neither in the squares nor in songs from the studio, and before that she was closer to the Bashir regime, and her songs were linked to weddings, and were the cause of a media fuss every period, such as concerts Nigeria, and others ».
Regarding the criticisms made by the Sudanese artist, Nancy Ajaj, to Nada, after appearing in military uniform in the operetta, Suleiman said, “This happens in many other countries, especially when the country is in a national war.
But perhaps because we are in a transitional moment in which there is a partnership between military and civilian forces, and the Sudanese are waiting for a complete transition to a democratic civilian life, so shots like this may sometimes be viewed sensitively.
It is noteworthy that Nada al-Qalaa was born on the first of February 1975, and her real name is Nada Muhammad Othman, and the castle is the name of the area in which she lived in Khartoum at the time of its appearance.
Nada Al-Qalaa has been singing professionally for 23 years and has 240 songs, some of her composed.
The funny thing is that Nada al-Qalaa has become a subject of intellectual disagreement among Sudanese intellectuals, while the thinker and sociologist Dr. Haider Ibrahim considered that, despite being expressive of a subculture, “it was a phenomenon that represented a culture against official hegemony at the time of the salvation,” according to an article published by Ibrahim in “The Rakuba” 2008. The Sudanese writer, Mr. Al-Hashemi, considered her to be "the singer of power and security" in that era, and Haider Ibrahim also said that what encouraged him to write about her was the writing of the prominent Palestinian thinker, Edward Said, about the artist "Tahiya Karioka".
Song lyrics
"What a mail that leads to politics"
What mail yeh policy
Nor are governments basically
Because I am his front and not a communist
Because I am his mother and not a federation
My love stays between my ribs
I have eyes for my people and my country
I don't like playing chairs
Diamond after diamond ...
Relapse after relapse ..
And what a policy yeh mail
Reap insane ..
A bubbling sun
It is not an enlightenment, for it is its darkness ..
Reap insane ..
NASA is choking.
Not resolved to her crisis
And reap a gin ..
NASA claps
When you hear a word to her
Churning mills ...
Not available for her
And a tear of miserable people ..
And what a policy yeh mail
Nor are governments basically
God is my country workers ...
Reviewed by the Moroccan Hour
By God, our thunder sounds
In the Sindhi lands
God is for the people who are in their condition
Between its stems and its shadows ..
Between its drums and beating brass
And what a political post
Nor do governments ever ...
