about

After her debut on renown French labels such as Ritmo Fatale and Dischi Autunno, Zaatar is now self-releasing her new track called Leaving For The Sky.

The lyrics are based on the song « Zahrat al-Mada’en » written in 1967 by Said Akl for the Lebanese singer Fairuz, and which extol the city of Jerusalem (Al-Quds) and and its future liberation. The track is considered a music and a literary reference in the Arab world. The selection of words that Zaatar kept for her own track express the prayers towards the people who lost their life not only during the violent events that took place in Jerusalem in the past but also the ones that are taking place today in the whole area.

The track is following the style that Zaatar has been developing in her previous work such as Abiad Al Layali and Zankat Mimosas which she defines as "Transarabic Body Music" and that she shares on stage during her sets as a DJ.

lyrics

يا ليلة الأسراء يا درب من مروا إلى السماء
عيوننا إليك ترحل كل يوم و انني أصلي

O night of Isra, O path of those who passed to heaven
Our eyes go to you every day and I pray
