BAND OF MUSIQ FEAT.

Baby Wolf RADIOSTATION CREATIVE PROJECT

(music at the background) Welcome to our show Band of Musiq, a broadcast of world music, live
from our festive garden, in Herentals, it is 20 past 2, we have sunny weather of 24 degrees. An ideal
day to relax and enjoy the music with drinks and appetizers as we have served here. Unfortanetely
we cannot endulge in these appetizers and drinks together because of corona isolation, but the
music we can share at all times.
With our broadcast we attempt to unite people with music and so to bring their different musical
preferences and traditions together. We hope to introduce our viewers to new artists, and new
musical cultures, genres and stories..

So this is the deal: we select one local musical guest that will perform their own songs in a studio
nearby, but in return we ask this musical guest to search around their neighbourhood for people and
musicians of different cultures and to give a voice to their musical stories. Throughout the broadcast
we then show a mix a mozaique (BEELD VAN EEN MOZAIEQUE) of video’s, pictures and audio’s of
jams and new artists and of the live songs of our musical guest.
It is time to introduce our band and today that is Baby Wolf. It’s a project by two musicians from
Antwerpen; (FOTO VAN FREKES) he writes the music, she sings and writes the lyrics (FOTO VAN MIJ
“she is not the presentator). The music is intimate, it’s only guitar and voice, it is melodious and
colourful pop, as they describe it. The past months they worked on their songs but also weekly
organized jams at the Rode Kruis opvangcentrum of Linkeroever, Antwerpen; They really found
incredible music and people that you’ll hear all about of if you stay tuned!
Let’s kick off with a song of their own. Here is Baby wolf with “you gotta look”
1. You gotta look – Baby Wolf [LIVE] (4 min)
HVH Thank you Baby wolf this was you gotta look, which is a song they have told me about
relationships and communication. And what better way to communicate than through music,
honestly. Especially the communication or absence of it with the ones you love and that is what the
next artists are singing about, let’s have a look.
2. Ya Tayr van Fairouz 1:31
HVH One of the first people Baby Wolf met at Linkeroever was Esayas who is from Eritrea and he had
brought a special instrument with him, namely the Krar. We will first show the Ethiopian version to
arrive at the Eritrean type that is played by Esayas himself in the video at the end.

HVH Let’s now switch back to Baby wolf with another song called pyrimads, they say the song is
written as a critique on having fixed ideas in your mind about your own future, that we build our own
individual pyramids of expectations and of materialism. Which is an image adopted by the writer
Hariri. Indeed one must look for something, but not for fixed ideas and circle of thoughts that get
stuck in the mind. Instead one needs to reset their desires and live goals once in a while. Here is

5. Pyramids – Baby Wolf (4 min)
HVH Ihabel tahhan is a virtuosic keyboardplayer. In his region a lot of musicians are keyboard
virtuosos who play at weddings and other big festivities. Unfortunately, the western keyboards here
are not in microtonal tuning, as Ihabel Tahhan is used to play, but nevertheless he showed us some
beautiful songs on a very basic western keyboard. Here is a demonstration jam.

HVH Another visitor of Baby Wolf’s music sessions at Linkeroever was Alex Cristofer who had just
arrived from El Salvador, South America, he is a piano player and not once did he hesitate to play
covers of Celine Dion and Alan Walker for us. When asked however about his country and the music
he said “you want to hear some cumbia, really?” yes we want to hear some cumbia

HVH Baby wolf wanted to let us know that they would like to tell a lot more about the many
habitants that come and go at the linkeroever opvangcentrum and that a lot of them have the wish
to learn an instrument or to tell about their music. So after this period of isolation at our homes let’s
all go out to places with our instrument and share music. For now our time is up, and I am still here
at my home studio garden with the rest of the drinks and food for me to endulge in, I advise and wish
you all to do the same! Have a nice evening and thank you for watching!

O Bird that flies unto the edge of the world
If you could tell the loved ones about me, o bird
Go ask them about the one whose loved ones are far off
Afflicted by the wounds of love, what avails him.
anguished, but never speaks of what ails him
And reminisces about the childhood days
O bird that flies unto the edge of the world
If you could tell the loved ones about me, o bird
O bird that travels away with the color of the trees
There is nothing left but the wait and ennui
I wait beneath the sun on a cold stone
Perplexed, and the great distance disables me
O bird that flies unto the edge of the world
If you could tell the loved ones about me, o bird
I swear upon your feathers and the rest of my days
I swear upon the thistle flower and the rise of the wind
If you are calling on them, my love is insufferable
Take me with you, if only for a moment, and bring me back
