"The Sifr," a global Muslim jam session (music video)

[Video Link]

Aman Ali is one of the guys behind "30 Days Ramadan," a Muslim media project, and he writes:

This one one of our proudest creations. I got 12 of my music friends around the world to put together a collaborative music video. I got a drummer in Morrocco to jam on a cajon drum and sent the beat to MCs/Poets/Singers in Malaysia, Germany, Pakistan, England and a bunch of other places to put this bad boy together. I literally forgot today was 9/11 because I've been so giddy the past few days putting this video together. Hope you enjoy it!

A full list of musicians and crew here.

  Why is their religious affiliation mention in the title of this post?

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Because it’s part of 30 Days of Ramadan.  And I’ll let you look up the meaning of sifr.

    • [Jardine]

      Scalable Inman Flash Replacement?

  I get kind of the same vibe off the lyrics of this as I do watching earnest young people singing about Jesus at Bible camp.

  • [Boundegar]

    Yea, they’re religious.  How does that vibe make you feel?

    Personally, I found this beautiful, although I’m sure a lot of it flew right over my head.

• [El Duende]

  Nice video. Reminds me of the Playing For Change videos.

  You “literally forgot”? As opposed to what, you “figuratively forgot”? The misuse of the word “literally” has infected almost everyone.
