Cairo, Egypt Jul 12, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Afaq Art Production continues to build on an artistic approach that bridges the depth of Arab spiritual heritage with the tools of contemporary musical arrangement, through its new release "Bejamalen" (With Beauty) — a poem written and composed by Sheikh Abd Al-Ghani Al-Umari Al-Hasani, performed orchestrally by Syncope Orchestra under the direction of Maestro George Kolta.
"Bejamalen" draws on the Sufi poetic tradition that celebrates Divine love, spiritual witnessing (shuhud), and divine knowledge (ma'rifah). The poem is distinguished as a contemporary Sufi poem written in a poetic language with its own internal rhythm and symbolic imagery, echoing the tradition of praise poetry devoted to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), referred to in the poem's closing lines as "Al-Hashimi," in reference to his noble lineage.
Afaq is committed to preserving the original spirit of this heritage in its authentic essence while giving it a contemporary musical form through an orchestral arrangement that blends Eastern and Western instruments —This artistic vision was performed by Syncope Orchestra under the direction of Maestro George Kolta, an ensemble that has succeeded in combining three musical traditions in a single work: classical, ensemble, and Eastern/Arabic.
Through this blend, Afaq aims to deliver an artistic experience that appeals to a range of musical tastes: listeners well versed in Sufi music and religious heritage will find in "Bejamalen" an authentic continuation of that art form, while listeners more accustomed to contemporary musical production will find, in its orchestral arrangement and sound treatment, an accessible entry point that does not compromise the work's spiritual depth.
Afaq also seeks to bring Arabic music closer to Western audiences, showcasing its breadth and expressive power through works capable of transcending language barriers via the shared language of music.
This direction builds on the path Afaq set out on with its first release, "Althulathia" (The Trilogy), in 2023, which drew wide attention from audiences of refined Arabic music. "Bejamalen" affirms this same mission today, marking a new step in the company's journey to highlight the elegance and beauty of Arabic music and open new doors to discovering its depth and expressive power for audiences across the Arab world and beyond.
"Bejamalen" music video premiered on July 2, 2026, on YouTube. You can listen to "Bejamalen" now on Anghami, Spotify, and all major music platforms.
