Exotic Love Song and Instrumentals from the Egyptian 60's
Beautiful compilation that I used to be absolutely obsessed with. Perfect listen for the spring time! Sadly I don't speak Arabic but the sweet and diverse sounds speak for themselves.
Favorite Track: Asmar Ya Sokkar 🌸

Happened upon this record while browsing a store yesterday and listened tonight. light and breezy Egyptian singer with notes of jazz, pop, disco. Opens with a live renedition of the album (which besides that recording is only 3 tracks).
I imagine this would be perfect for a summer night, but instead I am savoring it in the dead of winter.

Recently rewatched this movie and fell in love with it all over again. It's a slow paced movie by the director Chantal Akerman that. The movie follows Michèle, the protagonist, through her day and like the title says, paints a picture of a young girl at the end of the 60s in Brussels.
I guess my takeaway from the movie is that love can present itself in different forms and there are no right or wrong ways in going about that and exploring the different ways to love. This movie leaves me with a deep love for life, even though I'm not quite sure wether that's what the film is trying to provoke or if it's just because every time I hear the song Suzanne by Leonard Cohen I'm high on it for days, which kind of leads me to my last remark: The use of music in this movie is absolutely fantastic and feels like a delicately placed punch in the stomach.
It's on youtube for free (see the link) and only an hour long!
P.S.: This is my first post, I don't even know if this is the right way to use this website???

Probably my favorite movie! It's funny and sad and tells a story between life and death.

Helena, or the sea in summer by Julià n Ayesta is a beautiful short and romantic book thats perfect for summer! Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan and L'étranger by Albert Camus both explore darker topics but are in my opinion also easy reads, fit for summertime (maybe just because they both have lots of scenes on the beach lol)
