Dounia by Dar Haleshla
Dounia means “life” in Arabic and is the third single from the EP “Feenkoum”. It follows the same style of the previous two singles, house music beats and arrangements, percussion, dub reggae sound effects and Mouna Eddrou’s Sufi singing. Dounia differs in that the percussion uses Middle Eastern or “sherki” rhythms and drums and whole track is more sparse and ambient while keeping the hypnotic, trance-like qualities of the other tracks from the EP.
