Songs of Innocence (Album)
Songs of Innocence is a collection of eight original English-language songs from Talib al-Habib, a student of the sacred sciences and Medical Doctor. Its subject matter has been aptly described as, ‘love of Allah, love of his Prophet, love of teacher, love of family, and love of mankind.’ Adapted from a series of poems composed over ten years, they were set to music in a six month period following Ramadhan 1425, in response to the encouragement of several nasheed artists. Talib drew on his childhood experiences of choral singing in arranging the songs, and utilized the daff for percussion after consultation with recognized scholars of traditional Islam.
Najumul Layl (by Children)
Shaheed Alkawn was born Shane Conning in September 1978 in Durban, South Africa. Coming from a musical background he realised the addictive force of control that music has over the masses, and thus honed his talents to deliver the Message in an optimal manner. Shaheed has performed across South Africa with his unique brand of music, and released this his first, much awaited album in October 2002 in that country. The album was met with much acclaim and created an unprecedented furore around his style of Islamic rap. Shaheed chose rap as it is infectious, trendy and an effective tool in getting a message across through music. In a recent interview, he reflected that, ‘My rapping is actually a sermon, but accompanied with rhythm and sound, young people are drawn to hear what they otherwise would not.’
Another unique feature of Shaheed’s music is that it is unaccompanied by any musical instruments. His versatility as an artist enables him to accompany his vocals with a complex system of beat-boxing and harmony that has marvelled many.
