Fakrenha Out Loud
During the times that I am not busy screaming about terrible schools, delightful sons, too much snow, writing/editing my novel, I am dancing — just about every night.
Fakrenha is a Natacha Atlas song that has taken hold of my mind, and I don’t even know what it means (yet). I have a few calls in to different Arabic-speaking friends. The song starts slow, almost seems to lack a rhythm; but then, after a few phrases, the drums come in, and the Egyptian strings, and then — wow! A fantastic Arabic-European song.
I danced to it in this, my new black cossie .
and in this, my red Eman Zaki:

That black costume is worth not eating for. Delicious!
You know it, Drama. And I’ll start not eating… um… uh…
My friend told me what “Fakrenha” means: “Do you remember her?”
