An Anthem for Arab Freedom
February 4, 2011 1 Comment
I LOVE THE LIFE OF FREEDOM (Aheb Eisht Al Hurriyeh) is an anthem for Arab freedom composed in the 1930s by Egyptian poet-laureate Ahmed Shawqi and musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab. Now this song is once again revived in the aftermath of the democratic protests in Egypt.
A video (in familiar Bob Dylan-Subterranean Homesick Blues-style) created by Stephan Said shows the musician-activist with a notebook and the lyrics in simple script while the song plays. Said released the video “to be used freely by all those who are working to build the international movement for a more just society,” and invites viewers to create your own audio and video remix.
