Isam Bachiri from outlandish
Hey guys,
Thanks for your interest and for listening. This album wasn´t really planned; it just happened. It didn´t take me long to record, but unconsciously I have been working on it for about a year. I went into the studio with Outland thinking that NOW we were going to produce new material but something stood in the way. I was writing and thinking in DANISH...
I had a word with the boys and came to the conclusion that I wasn´t able to find peace to work on the Outland album until I got these Danish songs out of my head. Then I went into another studio with a completely new line up and three months later the result was there and August the 27th. you will have the possibility to listen to it.
It has been a very painless and easy process to make this album, and I have learned a lot from working this way. Everything is live; from the musicians to the beats. All people involved have done a tremendous job and have given me lots of inputs. I have felt creative in a very pleasant way; no ego, only inspiration. The songs are about my thoughts and my environment in Copenhagen. The topics vary from social conditions to some more personal and complex; hope, loss, patience and happiness.
As a lyricist; to write in Danish is to me not the same as to write in English. I have always felt more protected by the melody and the language barriers, when I have expressed myself in English. In Danish everything is more naked, more direct, more actual. Ever since I recorded "Man Binder Os På Mund Og Hånd", I have loved to sing in my "native tongue", and I hope to record many more albums.
The title of the album is "Institution" and it is the first release on my own label, Elmoro Records. My aim is to release music with soul, self-esteem and originality. No limits in terms of genre, language or expression.
Thanks for the support.
Isam B.
English Translation from the song Institution
From institution to Institution
Born in Thorsgade,
On fifth dimension
Trust is my treasure
Success, my partner
Melancholies my friend
My harbour and my passion
From institution to institution,
Coming downwards at the street with my situation
Knowledge is mine town
Reason is my path
And love is no doubt my basics function
From institution to institution,
Coming downwards Langebro - in good position
Endurance my clothes - quite in my nature
And pray is the stone in my eye, - my structure
Don't come here and say
That you don't know what it's about
(Don't come here and say that you don't know what it's about)

Smukt :).
Hvor er det dejligt at have så talentfulde musikere med så stærke internationale rødder og fornemmelser turde fortolke gamle danske sange. Hvor ville jeg ønske vi havde flere som dig Isam til at bygge broer i det danske samfund. For det er det du gør med din musik.
Fantastisk. :)
