Baqi Nhessek

باقي نحسّك

I still feel you. A slow oud ballad for a night alone: her perfume still in his clothes, her shadow at the door, a glass left where she put it and the coffee gone cold — «باقي نحسّك، ونمدّ يدّي» — he reaches out and wakes up by himself. Voice and oud open the song, the violin answers in the second verse, and the last words are whispered: don't wake me, only in my dream can I find her. Written and performed by Mourad Youssef Bouajaja.

Ellila Liltna

اللّيلة ليلتنا

Tonight is our night. A Tunisian wedding song: the family fills the house, the bendir comes out, the zaghareet answer every chorus — «اللّيلة ليلتنا، زيدي معايا» — and the promise underneath the party is the quiet one: coffee and tea tomorrow, growing old together, patience when the day is hard. Gasba answered by violin over a fezzani groove, with a Raï-Phonk kick underneath. Written and performed by Mourad Youssef Bouajaja.

Ya Munaya

يا منايا

O my desire. A classical qasida in Maqam Sikah, sung the old Damascene way: a free mawwal opens it, then a takht of oud, qanun, violin, cello, ney, riq and darbuka moves unhurried under the verses. A shadow passes the curtain, the oud confesses what the heart hid — «باح عودي بأسراري». Written and performed by Mourad Youssef Bouajaja.

Bla Hsab

بلا حساب

No calculation. Love that keeps no ledger — «نبغيك هكّا، بلا حساب»: I love you like this, without counting. A night mawwal opens it, then the slap bass and darbuka take over and the chorus becomes a dance. Written and performed by Mourad Youssef Bouajaja.

Galbi Darha

قلبي دارها

The answer to Ghaddara — the same heart that never asks permission chose again, and this time it chose right. Raï-Phonk's first love song: it opens as a mawwal, then slap bass, darbuka and gasba lift into a dance — قلبي دارها، دارها بيّا.

Single · 2026

Ghaddara

غدّارة

The betrayer — a Raï-Phonk heartbreak. It opens as a mawwal in pain, then the bass slaps in and the whole street answers: غدّارة يا الغدّارة. One vow survives the wreckage: غيرك أنا ما نبغي.

Rai & Phonk

راي وفونك

The title track of the genre itself — gasba over drill 808s, Darija and French in the same breath, and a bass that shakes the road. This is what Raï w-Phonk sounds like.

Darb Assoumoud
