El mutakallimun (masters of the word)

Description

Dans El Mutakallimun (Masters of Word), Souad Massi s'est plongée dans la poésie arabe et a utilisé quelques-uns des plus importants poèmes du Millénaire comme paroles pour sa plus belle collection de chansons."I was fed up with all the images associated with Arab culture. I wanted to pay tribute to these mutakallimun because they left us so many beautiful things to share with people who really know nothing about Arab culture."Energizing, demonstrative, a witness to reality, ambitious well beyond the present: all this is gathered in this remarkable work. In the perception of the world, Arabs are caught between extremists and caricature."I was immersed in a lot of beauty through poetry, through tolerance, and now they are trying to describe us as animals, while it is my ancestors who invented medicine. I simply cannot accept it."However, poetry will always be there, invaluable for its excellence, ready to be rediscovered, to reconnect lost souls with a past that is worthy of pride. "When you read these poems, they make you humble. There are geniuses who have left wonders behind them. And what I am trying to undertake is to raise awareness among people through music, through beautiful poems, and maybe one person will be drawn to this culture, this beauty and will chart their own path."
