Abdullah Miniawy

"Fall Down, Wise Man featuring Erik Truffaz (Live in Beeflat Bern, Suisse)"

Previously unreleased

The trio Abdullah Miniawy consists of Abdullah Miniawy, an Egyptian expressionist, writer, singer, composer, 3D generalist (programmer) and actor, Robinson Khoury, a Lebanese trombonist, composer and arranger, and Jules Boittin, a French trombonist. This track also features Swiss-French trumpeter Erik Truffaz. All four of them are based in Paris.

The track “Fall Down, Wise Man featuring Erik Truffaz (Live in Beeflat Bern, Suisse)” is composed by Abdullah Miniawy and arranged for trombones by Robinson Khoury. Alongside the track, Miniawy has written an accompanying poem with the same name as a tribute to his father who passed away last year.

"Fall Down, Wise Man"

Welcome me where you enter,

and the greatest honor is in hell

telling the teller,

Both surrounded with twisted four branches,

and the breastfed language,

Default like a child distended to write years ago

waving through the eyes of a ferry

to the meeting point where afterlife awaits,

where tons of grace awaits,

open the gates to a kisser

to let them kiss the Repentants,

Allow the Muezzin

to preach against Lucifer,

and the eyes are wet enough

to see the bitter bars

Destiny was written years ago

FALL DOWN BEAUTIFIED OPINION

FALL DOWN TO WISEMEN
