"Raoud", qui signifie "tonnerre", fusionne les styles lyriques tribaux avec la composition de la chanson Sahara Blues moderne. Les paroles peuvent être décrites comme une lettre d'amour à la pluie, typique des traditions tribales au Sahara, et appelle au son du tonnerre à rouler sur les montagnes désertiques, en apportant de la pluie et en apportant vie à tous les êtres vivants dans le désert.

The Destruction of Daraa (Part 1)
Click here to watch part 2 now! http://bit.ly/1s0RMYV
In March 2011, Syrian citizens began protesting oppressive government rule in the city of Daraa. Assadi government troops fired on the protesters, resulting in the beginning of the war in Syria.
Three years later, rebels are still in a deadlocked civil war with President Bashar al Assad and his sympathizers that continues to rip the country apart.
VICE went to Daraa to see out where the revolution started, where it continues, and where the loss to the people of Syria can be seen on every bombed-out street corner.

A Decade of Conflict - Children of Daraa
Ten years ago, anti-regime slogans appeared on a wall in Syria’s Daraa. A group of children were detained, igniting protests that culminated in a revolution. A decade on, and with the war in Syria still raging, TRT World’s Sara Firth meets Bashir Abazid, one of the Daraa Freedom Boys who was detained over the graffiti.
