Liron Amram & The Panthers-The Dawn



"Israel 2014/15 is a place where beliefs, religions and opposing views create an uneasy environment, and a tense creative space. But is it possible to take all of these components and use them as raw material for a new cultural statement?

Fortunately, there are those who can: As a negative to what is happening around us, the music of Liron Amram & the Panters can ignite the lost imagination even if only for a few minutes, to resonate a more beautiful and relaxed reality".

Taken from their facebook page, this passage captures the beauty and magic of Liron Amram & The Panthers. Much more than just really good music to dance to, their music can be seen as part of a refreshing Mizrahi revolution. In "Safart" Amram intoduces us to a song that his father, the great Yemenite singer Aharon Amram, wrote and adding his own twist he gives it the style and sound of 2015.

Happy New Year!
Oh, props to Michael Moshonov for directing such a cult-worthy video.

Dawn has already risen and I did not sleep at all
The memory of love is aging like wine
Wherever I go and wherever I look
It again returns to me and ignites my pains

And what if I'll see you again in the streets of the city
Will I kiss you or run will I touch you or turn pale

Only you I knew
And there is nowhere to return
And how you touched me then
It's difficult not to remember

Dawn has already risen and I did not sleep at all
The memory of love has sunk in a glass of wine
Wherever I go and wherever I look
The stars do not tell the future

And slowly I realized
You were never
What I was so looking for
And I will always ask

And what if I'll see you again in the streets of the city
Will I kiss you or run will I touch you or turn pale

Only you I knew
And there is nowhere to return
And how you touched me then
It's difficult not to remember
