Badawi - Protection Vol.1 '2024

Tracks list

Badawi was born Raz Mesinai in 1973 in Jerusalem. By spending a lot of time with
Bedouins in the Sinai desert as a youngster, he picked up on their unique
musical style. When he reached the age of seven, he was taken under the wing of
dervish sheik Murshid Hassan (of the Palestinian refugee camp of Balata), who
taught the youngster all about exotic Middle Eastern drumming. Soon he had
mastered such percussive instruments as the bendir, zarb, and darbukka. He also
discovered spirituality along the way, following the Hasidic rabbi and folk
musician Harav Shlomo Carlebach. After moving to New York City, he found himself
immersed in the burgeoning NYC Academy of Underground DJs (which included DJ
Spooky and a host of others) and changed his name to Badawai (which means
"desert dweller" or simply "Bedouin"). 

Dedicated to the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan, Congo, Yemen, Syria, Haiti
and all other countries being fucked over by western imperialism and racist
colonialism. This will be one of four albums coming to wrap up the prolific and
prophetic Badawi project after 30+ years.
