Flamingods - Rhama
111 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.Directed By: Barbu.tv - Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/barbutv // Facebook: https://goo.gl/zQubL8 Cameraman: Yannick poffet Edit: Maxime Cramatte Drone Operator - Sameer Antulay Opening Credits by Raimund Wong - http://www.raimundwong.com

Prelude/Thriving
This is the introduction and 1st track off of my album 'The Longer Now' which was released in June 2024. It began as a reworking of one of my old pieces called 'Longmarsh'. I had been asked by the incredible tabla maestro, Pandit Sanju Sahai to perform with him and an ensemble of other wonderful musicians at the opening concert of the Thrive Festival 2023 in the Great Hall at Dartington, an absolute honour, and an experience that I will never ever forget. Sanju Ji asked me to bring one of my pieces, which is how 'Thriving' came about. It became the opening piece for the concert that we played together.This is my solo reworking of this piece.
