Raje3 Raje3 Yet3ammar?

A very expressive piece of art, done by political artist/activist Carlos Lattuf.

On another note, Reem Kelani, an overshadowed singer with Jazzy musical background, reviving the old traditional songs of Al Jalil (Galilee) in her debut studio album, Sprinting Gazelle. Probably released back in February, but definitely a good one!
I just love the cover art, simple and reminiscent of traditional weaving.

Oh, I'm having a DEJA VU! I hate Deja-Vu's! Anyway, people if you see me around the net, just kick me out. Examination week next week and I gotta start working! Wish me luck. I hope Amino and Roba had a safe trip to Egypt, and also, safe trip to Lordess who might be going to Turkey! - AH, I miss Istanbul!
