Bab L’ Bluz - Ila Mata (Official Video)

Buy the album: ’Ila Mata’ is taken from Bab L’ Bluz’s debut album Nayda!, which is out now on Real World Records. The lyrics are inspired by the Tunisian poet Anis Shoshan, and aim to awaken the sleeping consciousness of a majority of individuals, indoctrinated by racist statements considering some humans superior to others and condemning all the richness that the fact that we are different from each other can bring us. It is also a call to search for what can unite us instead of going towards everything that divides us. Video created by Alden Volney. Supported by the AFAC (Arab Fund for Arts and Culture). [English translation of original Arabic lyrics] Ila Mata From the bottom of my heart a salam (the salvation of the Muslims) full of peace for all my sisters and brothers regardless of their origins. A fear that grew inside us that has led us astray from the straight path A disease that has affected everyone and destroyed the earth with everything on it. Our brains have become prisoners Allies to the herd owners Humans are considered worthless And our differences are now criminalized Until when will ignorance rule? How long will the injustice last ? Until when we are forced to remain silent ? Until when Violence will be glorified ? Until when will injustice rule? Till when ignorance will be glorified ? Until when will the human remain despised ? How long will violence triumph?
