Innawaation: Empire & WMD present Gloub Faydha

« Gloub Faydha », a rap song created within the Bab El Beat project, is a cry of revolt against the established political class and a call for resistance against police repression. The clip alternates between the fictional universe reflected in the song’s lyrics and Nawaat’s video coverage of protests. In form, these videos match the music’s accelerated tempo and hard core percussion. In substance, they illustrate the song’s theme and lyrics.

Nawaat has a rich stock of audiovisual archives that could be used in this video clip. Such images could serve not only as a visual support but also as a link between the country’s political reality and song’s imagined universe. These archives constitute an ideal visual support in the artist’s efforts to bring together an artistic practice that is rooted in the urban arts—which is so familiar to young protesters—and a media outlet which covers the topics that interest them and denounce the injustices they face.
