DESCRIPTION:
New album 'Majesty' out now via Soundway Records:
https://lnk.to/flamingodsmajesty

The concept for the Rhama music video revolves around a mysterious society of Pakistani wrestlers that are present in Dubai. Dedicating their lives to a traditional form of wrestling called Kushti, their matches take place every Friday during sunset in a sandy lot of land in old Dubai. Over the past few months we have attended these matches, and got to know the wrestlers with the help of our Urdu translator. In making this video, the Barbu TV guys were invited to live in their rural Al Ain apartment for a few days. The video shows the culture surrounding the wrestling, and the symbolism and ritual behind it; as well as flashes of everyday Pakistani life in the UAE – perhaps a surprising visual given the country’s notoriety for being a glossy metropolis.

Lyrics:

Bring me garlands
made of gold,
carried from the same temple
i was born.
(back to the time)

Wash my tongue
it’s taken by yours,
i can’t speak my mother -
Wish i learned it younger.

Burn my possessions
with a flame,
captured from the holy mountain in our plain.
(bring me the sun)

Golden sun
i’m waiting for you,
i can taste my blessing -
To take me to my real home.
