Stopping broken hearts “Farfour” in art – Race in politics – ✍️ Al-Tarifi Abu Naba
In the news, the Musical Professions Union suspended artist Jamal Farfour because he cursed the artistic community in a television interview, and the video that showed Farfour angry and insulting the artistic community did not show the real reason, although the insinuation reveals that there were those who betrayed his knowledge and did not treat him well among his fellow community members…
And if we do not write about the judgment of Al-Jabaliya, or before that, about the singer who shouts and repeats words that take the place of indecency and abomination, while she talks about the stench of smoke, foam and other unspeakable things, then we are obliged to write this time about Farfour, who excelled in singing the most beautiful songs, and he often arranged our feelings and refined our emotions with songs from the good old days… not to defend ourselves. of Farfour, but in justice to Sudanese art. We write… about the state of sense of loss felt by the artistic community, which revealed itself in images perhaps more horrific than the description given by Farfour…
The problem is that people generally don’t pay attention to the amount of pain you feel, only the reaction…
I think that passing judgment and revealing the facts in a video in which I want to convey what is in accordance with the whims of its editors would not be fair… However, I remember a story mentioned by Palestinian writer Adham Al-Sharqawi in his book “Broken Hearts” about the authority of Al-Shaabi, which said: A woman who was arguing with someone came to Shariha the judge, and when she stood before him, she opened her eyes to cry: then I said to Shariha… I don’t think that this miserable woman is anything other than oppressed, and Shariha said: “Youssef’s brothers have come. He refused them dinner and they cried. History is proof that the amount of pain and crying is not proof of an injustice that happened to them…
I hope that issuing a judgment to stop Farfour is not a victory for the pride of a person or their institution, but rather an attempt to heal and recover from the illnesses that the artistic community suffers from… In the past, one empire thought of invading another because the prince of that empire had kidnapped the king’s wife, so he prepared a huge army, then the king addressed the army, emphasizing that their battle was for honor, honor and preservation of the values of the empire, and when the two armies aligned, he wanted it. The prince wanted to save blood and stop the war, so the king said: I offer you a duel. If you kill me, the prince will take your wife and promise her, and if I kill you, your army will return where it came from… After some thought, the king insisted on fighting, and it was to get his wife back…
The wisdom is that we market events in such a way as to force others to sympathize with us, even if the truth is different, so that we do not feel helpless…
We must be attentive and think deeply about the events that happen to us and the rumors that invade us more than thinking about an emotion compatible with our whims…
