Flamingods - Rhama
1351 votes
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.

The event featured 12 mariachi bands, and a total of 150 musicians, both well known and emerging artists. With this first edition of the Mariachi Marathon, the city hopes to have started an annual tradition.
Embers of the Sun, by Ariana May
'Embers of the Sun' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May. 'Embers of the Sun' is a wistful yet strong song about the fading of a relationship. The song shows that beneath this dying flame lies a spark that will always remain. With its upbeat tempo and evocative lyrics, it reflects the inundating power of memory. The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.
