Amira Kheir - Mashena

The Network Africa video sessions continue with this stunning performance from London-based Sudanese-Italian singer, Amira Kheir at our Bush House studios.

She writes and performs in Arabic seeking to reinterpret traditional Sudanese music with the more contemporary musical influences in her life.

Accompanied by Iain McLeod on guitar and Anna Wright on kora, she performs the beautiful Mashena, meaning 'On our way'.

A bit poor according to traditional Sudanese music and taste. Lyric in Arabic is poor but good luck for people who like her

going on

and will continue going on ..always

We stand up again, when we fall

whatever it takes time and age ..... will continue

we lost our way

But we surviive and will continue going on the right track

what happened happend , we have to continue going

we will go on

My favorite song. Oh how many times I've sang this song in tears. But such is life, people come and go.

Tewesta has a CD coming out Aug.9 with an instrumental named "Mashena" but it's nothing like this. Great song though. Described as Ethiopian jazz.
