Nilay Dancing to Makaan for Natacha Atlas Mounqaliba Album contest entry

[bellyinbrno]

Hi. Do you happen to know what the song is about?

[ooOnymphetOoo]

@bellyinbrno No, unfortunately not. Do you? I'd love to learn. Meanwhile, I made my own story to it :)

[bellyinbrno]

@ooOnymphetOoo Hi again. I find out that it´s a spiritual song. So definitely not anything about love. Makaan means place.

[ooOnymphetOoo]

@bellyinbrno Wow, thanks! Now you said it, made sense about the name. In Turkish "mekan" means place. Must have been an Arabic rooted word. I didn't say I thought it was about love, though. I thought it was a bittersweet song. I sensed a bit of grievance. Thanks for letting me know.

@flazzaro Thank you Frank, can't wait to do a live show with you. Was just watching your work at Rachel George's Drum DVD... So glad I just have bought it... You play so many different rhythms!!! Just marvelous...
