“Over the rooftops of Beirut, Nadia’s will is dancing for beauty, peace and emancipation. Lurking in the shadow, a darker will tries to take control”
Background
AHAWA (“Hey you” in Amazigh) is a symbol of freedom where the singer’s disembodied shadow goes wandering around in the city, dancing to the beauty of life… But a danger always lurks around. Should it be her inner fears or an outer enemy? The only chance of overcoming this “monster” is most probably facing it.
Ahawa was produced in 2006, on a small laptop, during the Israeli raid on Lebanon. Sheltered in the mountain, I felt like twisting reality with a pinch of romanticism.
