“بين ضفتين (Between Two Banks – Tussen Twee Oevers)” is a musical family portrait, a love letter to roots, memories and the bridges between worlds. in this album by SmusiX, he weaves his Fathers Egyptian origin with his Dutch reality – and sketches a life between Egypt and Zeeland, between pride and pain, between the past and the future.

Each track is a chapter, built up with rich Egyptian instruments such as oud, qanun, ney, baladi darbuka, and enhanced by authentic street sounds, intimate harmonies and literary Egyptian lyrics.

Tracklist & Themes:

بيت الكوس (House in Kous)

A nostalgic tribute to the parental home in Kous. Family history, honour and gratitude in musical form.

اسمي شادي (i’am Shaady)

A playful and proud self-introduction by Shaady, with a rhythmic ode to family members – between self-mockery, identity and power.

حلم الغربة (The dream of alienation)

A dreamy but fearful reflection on his mother’s displacement, safety and prophetic intuition during difficult times.

صرخة من بلاد الأم إلى بلاد الأب (A cry from the motherland to the father’s country

A powerful double ode to both the motherland (Netherlands) and the homeland (Egypt). A call, a bridge, a hymn of roots.

ضايع في الصمت (Lost in silence)

A poetic unloading of sorrow, hope and healing – about loss, growing up, and finding strength in silence.
