Acid Arab - Gul l’Abi (feat. A-WA) [Music Video]

A video clip project that expresses the mergence of diverse cultures and comprehensions by prioritizing aesthetic concerns. Influenced by the eastern culture, the project suggests a new “new world” concept, that is called “Neuland”. Indestructible denied by the women characters, masculine-dominant infrastructure has been faced a small yet an initiative response by taking down the imposer with what was imposed.

We would like to thank, primarily Acid Arab; for inspiring us with their song Gul L’Abi and allowing us using it, and everyone who took part in pre-production, production and post-production, who were there to contribute and to support our project.

I'm a manager in a big warehouse and we bump music all night while we work. I have this track in a couple of my playlists and one night one of my associates came up to me and asked "hey, what's that song that sounds like a snake charmer who took a bunch of mushrooms?" I knew exactly what song they were talking about instantly.

[وسيمالشرعبي-كر]

A wonderful song without description with the Yemeni dialect 🇾🇪Greetings to you from Yemen

[femidakr]

Шикарно. Этот завораживающий арабский контраст и драйвовый трек в арабском стиле. Спасибо, приятно смотреть и слушать. Украина!

[yvc]

The best kind of youtube suggestion, the ones out of nowhere.

[cuyalk]

I got here because I was looking for colored clips of Ariana grande but I misspelled her name and now I have a new favorite song

[BloodMoonASMR]

There's something so primal and timeless about Middle Eastern music: it's a trip and a half, mashallah brate!

[PSL_Lover]

I remember when this came out. I still haven't translated the lyrics but in so many ways I don't need to. I can tell the powerful, visceral effect the singer feels through her words. Thank you, acid Arab for bringing this song to the world. Its what we needed!

[madamedex]

I don't speak Arabic, but I love the tonal quality of middle eastern music. I wanted to hear an upbeat version so searched "Arabic pop." Ended up here and was not disappointed. Yt algorithm come through now with more recs!

Evocative Arabic sounds wrapped up in cool Euro electronic packaging - great cultural collaboration and nice to see someone building bridges between the two cultures rather than blowing them up

[laerica]

Arabic and the music: a very trippy experience!

[tempestblack]

This is one of those times that the Youtube rabbit hole brought me to something worth paying attention to.

[deborahk]

Literally no one:
Me:
Youtube: Here's a song by acid arab with three girls in niqabs vaping under neon lights.
Me: You had me at acid arab

[djinking]
