All Yours: Arabic BDSM Song
Cheb Douzi has a new song out called “Kolli Laki” (I Am All Yours) which I personally find to be a revolution of sorts. Part of the lyrics goes as follows:
My heart belongs to you
My life and soul belong to you
HabibatiTake me, and imprison me
And bind me
And untie me
And hold me tight
HabibatiMy eyes belong to you
My lashes belong to you
My sanity
My insanity
I am all yours
Very interesting, no? One would think taboo subjects like religion and sex and whatnot are not normally treated in Arabic songs, but here we are with a song that I personally find to be pleasant, and it’s about Cheb Douzi’s masochistic fantasies. How avant-garde!
your sarcasm is just overwhelming here.. LOOOOL
This Cheb Douzi is really a shame to all those Maghribi singers of Rai who through the subject matter of their music that includes religion, alcohol, sex, and identity formation have challenged the social, ideological, and political oppression they faced in both the Maghrib and France since the early 1920s.
