Where dust transcends into being, where Life alloys divergent identities, where paradox foreshadows reconciliation...only there can Music be found…
From Eastern to Western soil, from the Latin aria to the Oriental reverberation, a nostalgic echo to the classical nobleness of the Violin…
Life cannot be contained, a single segment cannot possibly sustain it...the Violin encompasses many strings where Life plays its parallels, with each string bearing an identity…
Nostalgia, where Past espouses Present, where Mystery espouses Clarity.
The idea behind both the music and the video was to capture the essence of Spain through the mellifluous tunes of the Arabic violin, traveling in time to the olden days of Andalusia, and the fusion between arabic and Spanish cultures. Sarah Baras, a flamingo dancer, sought to convey the emotions that both Spanish music and folkloric dancing stirred in her, while Hanine extended her with the oriental tunes of the arabic violin to set the tone, and concretize the notion.

Two parallels converge into a mellifluous harmony with darkness espousing light in Salma...what Hanine sought to convey through two opposites is the seemingly immiscible elements of human nature.
Light and darkness, while clearly standing at diametrically irreconcilable poles, collide and model us. Salma is a tale of paradox, of rebellion, of defiance, of energies, of mud turned into gold, and of a musical climax reflecting upon life’s odds harmoniously communing with one another…
