Firstly, thank you Nour for your trust, and congratulations for your new project "Qafiya", What are the musical genre you aim to play, and what are the main concepts of your stuff?
For starters we're gonna play rock music in Fusha lyrics, but actually we don't wanna stick to one genre.
When I decided to form this band, I told myself I wanna make music that's different from the scene. My music idol is Steven Wilson and the reason why I love him as an artist that he doesn't like to stick to one genre and also he pleases himself before he pleases his audience.
And that in my opinion what makes the musician successful, you have to feel and believe everything about what you're doing.
Regarding our lyrical themes, we're gonna talk mainly about social issues, human feelings and anything that's not cheesy. Besides writing original lyrics we are also gonna take famous Arabic poems and use it as well.
How did you choose the name of the band, and why?
Our drummer Tala Tourgane suggested the name and we fell in love with it.
We wanted to choose a catchy name that also represents our stuff, we're gonna sing all songs in Fusha and also we're gonna use poems so that's why we chose Qafiya.
As I checked the line, I found that the members have a various taste of music, How do this various backgrounds will affect the process of music writing?
I think it's important to have band members with different taste of music, because everyone will add something new and in the end it's gonna be something unique. Regarding the music writing process, me and Tala Tourgane (Drummer) are the composers and the lyricists.
We write the lyrics together and also the melodies and then Leo arranges the music and then after that all of us sit together and try to work on the music and everyones suggests something different every time and although this may take a lot of time, but in the end we come up with a good song lyrically and musically and hopefully people like it.
So, When will you release your first track?
We will release it in early September. Once we finish the recording and the mixing process ,we will announce the date on our page.
