The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Huda Asfour, Rehab Hazgui, Maurice Louca, Aya Metwalli, Sam Shalabi and Aalam Wassef - Mophrodat Songs for Kids, Vol. 1: AFFRATTA

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE


WHAT WE SAY

​A wonderful pan-Arabic meeting of multi-disciplinary minds enabled by the altruistic Mophradat organisation, who have brought together some amazing musicians with childrens book authors to put inspiring, imagination sparking and loving messages to music. Start them young and love will come.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

أغاني مفردات للأطفال، العدد الأول: عفرتة 

دعت مفردات في عام ٢٠٢١ الكاتبات أحلام بشارات (فلسطين) وهديل غنيم (مصر) ويسرا سلطان (مصر) والموسيقيات والموسيقيين آية متولّي (مصر) ورحاب الحزقي (تونس) وسام شلبي (مصر/كندا) وعالم واصف (مصر) وموريس لوقا (مصر) وهدى عصفور (فلسطين) للتعاون على إنتاج ألبوم من الأغاني للأطفال صغار السن. نسق الفريق عدداً من اللقاءات عبر الإنترنت نتج عنها «عفرتة» وهو ألبوم للأطفال مكون من ست أغنيات عربية بلهجات مصرية وشامية للأطفال من سن الرابعة حتى السادسة، وهي المرحلة العمرية التي يتبلور فيها اكتساب اللغة وفهمها كأداة ومعاني. 

إيماناً من مفردات بالدور الهام الذي تلعبه الموسيقى في تعليم الأطفال التعبير عن المشاعر واستيعاب القصص وسردِها، بدأت مشروع «أغاني للأطفال» للبحث عن طرق لتقديم موسيقى مبهجة تحفز الأطفال على التفكير وحب الطبيعة والخيال وتنمي فيهم صفات الطيبة والفضول وحس المغامرة. 
تدرك مفردات محدودية الإنتاج الموسيقي للأطفال في العالم العربي ولذلك سعت من خلال هذا المشروع لإشراك موسيقيين مجددين ومبدعين من المنطقة في إنتاج موسيقى للصغار. 

مزج الألبوم رضوان غازي مومنة وأتقنته كيتي تافيني. 
غلاف الألبوم من رسم جمانة إميل عبود وتصميم جود طعمة. 

تم تنفيذ ملتقى «أغاني للأطفال» بفضل التعاون مع مؤسسة أليانز الثقافية.

In 2021, Mophradat invited children’s writers Ahlam Bsharat, Hadil Ghoniem, and Yosra Sultan, along with musicians Huda Asfour, Rehab Hazgui, Maurice Louca, Aya Metwalli, Sam Shalabi, and Aalam Wassef, to collaborate on producing an album of progressive songs for young children. The music is made for children around the ages of four to six, the moment where their acquisition and understanding of language as form and meaning starts to take shape. The process, which took place online across countries, led to Affratta, an album of children’s music comprising six 
tracks.

Mophradat Songs for Kids is a project that is looking
 for ways for children to be offered joyful, nature-loving, non-patriarchal, imaginative, and evocative music that encourages them to be kind, curious, adventurous, and loving. Music and song are one way children learn, express emotions, hear and tell stories, and get to know their bodies. The Arab world, unfortunately, has limited offerings of musical production for children, and this project is one of Mophradat’s first attempts to engage some of the region’s most exciting musicians with this genre.
