"Salamo A'alaykom" may peace be upon you
my name is "Mohamed Samir"
and I'm a Freedom Fighter "LOL"
And the time will come
and "Holly Land" will be free
but how ! .. can we even talk
can we at least sit together
Kayan "Entity"
I joined the band
since almost one year
"Mohamed Maher; Band Manager" I joined at first
because they were my friends
we're friends
before we even play music
maybe I didn't knew "Mohamed Samir"
the Guitarist and the founder of Kayan
but we have the same message
"Sherif Al-Shazly, Lead Vocals" but I believe in this message before I meet him
and he also believed before he meet me
"Mohamed Samir, Guitarist and Founder" Kayan had an old line-up
all the members were replaced
only Samir stayed
he is the Guitarist and the founder of the band
the new line-up is:
Sherif on Lead Vocals
Karim on Guitar
Yahia on Bass Guitar
and finally Adham on Drums
and for sure Maher as a Band Manager
we're talking about the "Positive Resistance"
there is allot of challenges facing any "Muslim-Arabic" young man
so from this principle
we tried to understand the world around us
and be able to connect our "Qura'an" and our "Sunnah" to this world that we're living today
also able to know, what we were, what we've reached to and what we will be!
we've lost our Arabic touch
we've lost all of our Arabic traditions
and we try to bring this back
we don't really offer a solution, but we try to say that there is a problem here
all the western life style from technology to the movies we watch and everything being given to us
trying to control our minds and Kayan trying to escape from this
when you're talking about Kayan, you're talking about a band who has an Religious and political Ideology
it is very hard to make your message reaches everyone
so we choose a language that anyone can understand .. Music
and as we love Rock and Metal music .. we decide to present our message through it
and some times music can deliver a wrong message, so why it can't deliver a good message !!!
me and the band members believes that music must be delivered with message behind it
and this message must come from our origins
we're talking about topics that no other bands don't dare to go through it
some bands are playing for the society, some plays for love, some plays for peace .. but its all look the same, nothing new!
but no one speaks about controlling our minds !
we've mentioned the "Palestinian Resistance" in a track called "nightingales land"
Engineer "Khaled Abu Bakr" in his collection of poems calld "Manifestations of the stones of Jerusalem" was trying to say
that the stones of Jerusalem reached to the idea of resistance and the people around the world didn't get it
I believe this is was the main Idea of this collection of poems
we played in allot of events and festivals
and we shared the stage with some big bands like "Belmaa'loob" and "Azraq Samawy"
Kayan loves its origins, that's why they present their message in the Arabic language
we sing in Arabic because it's our language, we've been born to speak Arabic
Rock music always contain this rage, attitude and anger and you can say that this is our attitude .. we're angry and we don't like what is happening around us
we are the only band in Egypt who have this message and attitude
and there a question here you would ask me!, you think that only music can make a change ?
If there is anything we can do now to deliver the message with a more practical way, tell me because I will be the first one who do it
the message we try to deliver still didn't reach yet for so many people, but the time will come and it will be reached
