Abstract

Zemlje Bliskog istoka vrlo često traže komadiće povijesti po kojima se razlikuju. Ono o čemu posebno vole imati rasprave je kultura. Njihove povijesti isprepleću i jasno je da kultura nije mogla ostati lišena toga. Arapska glazba je posebno bila važna za te zemlje u zlatnom dobu za vrijeme 20-ih i 30-ih godina prošlog stoljeća. Dvojice glazbenika koji su bili izuzetno važni za njezin razvitak su Daud i Saleh al-Kuwaiti. Oni su bili irački Židovi koji su u Bagdadu bili crème de la crème kulturnog svijeta. U Iraku su stvarali sve dok se 1951. godine nisu bagdadsku adresu zamijenili onom u Tel-Avivu. Međutim, slavu koju su imali u Iraku nisu niti približno okusili u Izraelu. Arapska glazba i arapski jezik nisu bili društveno prihvaćeni te su na druge načine morali snalaziti. Postalo je jasno da Izrael ima ogroman društveni problem. Više se nisu bavili glazbom te se na njihovim pjesmama skupljala prašina zaborava. To se promijenilo 2011. godine kada je Daudov unuk Dudu Tassa odlučio obraditi njihove pjesme i pružiti im modernu produkciju i aranžman. Tassa je do tada bio poznati rock glazbenik, ali je ovog puta njegova glazba nadišla debele granice Bliskog istoka i Magreba. Uz to, Tassa je počeo pronalaziti dijelove svoj identiteta koje potiskivao radi diskriminirajućeg izraelskog društva.

Abstract (english)

The countries of the Middle East very often look for pieces of history that distinguish them. What they especially like to have discussions about is culture. Their histories intertwine and culture could not remain without it. Arabic music was significant for those countries in the golden age during the 20s and 30s of the last century. Two musicians who were extremely important for its development were Daud and Saleh al-Kuwaiti. They were Iraqi Jews who were the crème de la crème of the cultural world in Baghdad. They lived and worked in Iraq until 1951 when they replaced the Baghdad address with the one in Tel-Aviv. However, the glory they had in Iraq was nowhere near once they moved to Israel. Arabic music and language were not socially accepted and they had to find another job. It became clear that Israel has its struggles within the country. They were no longer involved in music, and the dust of oblivion gathered on their songs. That changed in 2011 when Daud's grandson Dudu Tassa decided to cover their songs and give them a modern production and arrangement. Tassa was a famous rock musician until then, but this time his music went beyond the thick borders of the Middle East and the Maghreb. In addition, Tassa began to find parts of his identity that he had suppressed due to the discriminatory Israeli society.
