This collection of new recordings marks a hug milestone in Mohammad’s career as it’s the first album that features all original compositions. And with a full band! We had the great help of Syrian Cellist and composer Naseem Alatrash to help with the string arrangements. The resulting record is a beautiful journey into a timeless Middle Eastern and North African sound akin to the likes of Fairuz or Umm Kulthum with a fast Kurdish Dabke tempo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI Love You Ireland is an incredibly personal album for Mohammad. The title alone, much like his debut ‘I Am Kurdish’ is as personal as it it’s political. To express such love for a place in music is saying, thank you for making me and family feel safe. Thank you for taking us in. A stand out track titled ‘Ah Yu Donia’ is Mohammad’s first real public moment of grieving for the loss of his son at the murderous hands of Isis. In this song he asks God why he was taken. Trying to figure the sense in the actions of fundamentalists. The strings sections are sad, but not morbid. Acting like a release or companion to the horrific reality of losing a child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Al Huriya’ is Mohammad’s first attempt at using an Irish rhythm known as a Reel, as appose to his usual Middle Eastern rhythms. Again, this is a beautiful way for Mohammad to give thanks to all the musicians and supportive people his has met in Ireland since 2011.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHO IS MOHAMMAD SYFKHAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMohammad Syfkhan is a Kurdish\/Syrian Singer and Bouzouki player. He began\u003cbr\u003eplaying music in 1980 while he was in college studying nursing. When he got\u003cbr\u003ehis degree in 1983, Mohammad moved to the city of Raqqa, Syria where he\u003cbr\u003ebegan working as a professional singer and started his own band, The Al-Rabie\u003cbr\u003eBand which played concerts, parties, weddings and festivals all over Syria. The\u003cbr\u003eAl-Rabie Band were a much sought-after group. Their live sets included Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish and some Western songs as well as Mohammad’s own original material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMohammad continued to play with his band while also working as a surgical\u003cbr\u003enurse until the war broke out in 2011. This unfortunately brought tragedy to\u003cbr\u003eMohammad’s family when one of his sons was killed by Isis thus threatening\u003cbr\u003ethe lives of the rest of his family. His family had no choice but to leave their\u003cbr\u003ehome and seek safety in Europe. Three of Mohammad’s sons were resettled in\u003cbr\u003eGermany while Mohammad, his young daughter and wife were taken in by\u003cbr\u003eIreland. Mohammad has spoken at length of his confusion and despair with\u003cbr\u003efundamentalists and how their message is a far cry from the teachings of love\u003cbr\u003eand understanding that he considers the true message of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSide A\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1.
