The members are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham, spanning the divides from Amman to the Galilee, the Golan Heights to Ramallah. This new sound of 47SOUL has rapidly amassed fans in the Middle East and Europe by blasting the electric Arabic debka sound through underground music scenes.
On top of the beats that have been bumping in the Middle East for centuries, 47SOUL hypes it up with analog synthesizers, hypnotic guitar lines, and shattering verses from the four singers. Every show ends in relentless dance and trance from all parties involved.
Their lyrics, mixing Arabic and English, call for celebration and freedom in the struggle for equality, inside Bilad Al Sham and throughout the world.

no motivation for anyone new
i remember your swagger from the photos you dropped
meet me at the clouds i'll unravel your suit
catch the beat up like you catching a cold
i moved the floor you were no where at all
the club is a trap for a lover
but we sajal 3la tape till it don't matter
يا أم عيون الكحيلة، و الجديلة الطويلة،
ميلي علي الليلة ننزل على صف الشام ستب.
و على صف الشام ستب، لسجل على الكاسيت تييب،
و قللك غيرك ما بحب، و يا أم عيون الكحيلة.
where do you go, where do you go
يا أم عيون الكحيلة
maybe you go, maybe you go.
و الجديلة الطويلة
Let me cut to the Shamstep part of this…
يا حاملة الهوية، لا تنزلي عل حاجز،
على الحاجز دورية، على رؤياك أني عاجز.
على حفل ال ٤٧ .لا والله محنا نازلين طول ما حبابي عالقين
و الفرح منو جايز
cut down by the dagger eyes
and you know that you're gonna get lost in it
so tell me why, why wait
sooner later i'll be turned back again
where do you go, where do you go
يا أم عيون الكحيلة
maybe you go, maybe you go.

بعيش الحلم من أوله .ناسي ممنوع يتجوّلوا
كيف أعمل "Pause" لو بينزل حدى دكّان .طب افرض طوّلوا
ففرشت العدة شبكت الخط .بخط الدبكة تحوّلوا
أنا ليش بالزبط عشقت الشط .و انت ما لقوا زيّك و دوّروا
لقوا مين ابن مين ؟ عرب .عرب
من وين "I don't care where you from "...خلص
بجيكي بجيبلك جديد جديد

The song "Meeli" by 47 Soul, a group combining Arabic roots and contemporary sounds, reflects on themes such as longing, love, and nostalgia. The song begins with the singer searching for someone in a club, with no interest in anybody else. The lyrics describe how the club is a trap for lovers but they dance to the beat until it doesn't matter anymore. The second verse mentions the "Amu Ayyun Al Kahila" and the "Jadilah Al Taweela," two poetic Arabic descriptions of a woman's dark eyes and long hair. The lyrics express the desire to go down to the "Safa Al Sham Stab," which could refer to Damascus in Syria, to record on cassettes and celebrate without worrying about anything else. The Shamstep part of the song introduces traditional Arabic instruments mixed with electronic music, adding a unique flavor to the song. The verses that follow mention the dream of shutting down the street, connecting with the people through dabka dance, and spreading love and joy.
