“Osha’na,” meaning “an exclamation of praise and glory to God” and “the leaf/branch of a palm-tree” in Assyrian/Chaldean, is a transcendent Afro Tech track that embodies a rich tapestry of cultural and musical influences. It melds the ancient with the contemporary, evoking a sense of reverence and exaltation through its powerful composition.

At its core, “Osha’na” features emotive chants of Middle Eastern origin, serving as a spiritual anchor that conveys a profound message of praise and glory. These vocal elements are woven seamlessly into a vibrant Afro Tech framework, creating a unique blend that is both soulful and invigorating.

The musical arrangement is a masterful fusion of emotive pianos, lush synthesizers, evocative strings, and the haunting melodies of a Turkish clarinet solo. This clarinet solo adds a touch of mysticism and depth, weaving through the track with a fluid grace that enhances the overall sonic landscape. The inclusion of the Oud, a traditional Middle Eastern stringed instrument, further enriches the composition, bridging the gap between ancient traditions and modern electronic music.

“Osha’na” is more than just a track; it’s an experience that invites listeners to connect with the divine through the universal language of music. Whether on the dance floor or in a moment of personal reflection, “Osha’na” promises to uplift the spirit and ignite a sense of awe and inspiration. Prepare to be transported by this captivating blend of Afro Tech rhythms and timeless melodies, a true testament to the power of music to unite and elevate.
