  • I am so so so so so so so jealous!!!

  • Seariously inspiring!

  • The main rhythm in the second half of the music, taken or rather heavily influenced by the church chant played by begana in the great fasting season known otherwise- Hudade. This chant is called ye bela hala it is a call to enchanted with the holy spirit.
