The members are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham, spanning the divides from Amman to the Galilee, the Golan Heights to Ramallah (Palestin). 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.
The current lineup of 2014 includes:
Z the People (vocals & synths)
@zthepeople
El Far3i (Derbakeh, Mc/Vocals)
@el-far3i
Walaa Sbeit (percussion, Mc/vocals)
@dub-key

Find on screen she won′t make it over
Phase between worlds I catch-up with you afterways
Some things never change no matter how you play them
انت يالغزالة الشاردة
مش مسؤول عن الي بقولوا على طول ما في حلول للمسأله
نوعك لو مين ما اعترف .المسؤول اجا يسحب
مين على الطرف ؟ ... ولا حد شايفني بفور . كله بيتطلع بالمنشور .و بقول
وا بلادك باردة... سمرا و شرقية و غاربة
هذه الرساله عن كل حرف بيطلع عن هاي الحرب متجمد
بالظرف .لو ارجع و اشوفك . و راسك عالي... و مرتاحة نوم
انت يالغزالة الشاردة
Overload face the road block the sense and blend in
Thrown out no buying shade stuck inside a fence-in
Trapped like a zoo animal by these mans' pretension
Innit – يا الغزالة الشاردة
Ghost illusion
Might be your future
But you didn′t catch it up with the proof yet
انت يالغزالة الشاردة . سمرا و شرقية و غاربة
هذه الرسالة من
خوفي يجي بكرة و الأمس يصبح ذكرى
خوفي يجي بكرة و الأمس يصبح ذكرى
و تكون بلادك باردة
انت يالغزالة الشاردة انت يالغزالة الشاردة . سمرا و شرقية و غاربة
وصلت رسالة
خدوني ع جزيرة ما بعرف حدا بيها
حملوني هالوراق وقالوا تفضل لاقيها
طلعت بعدها ع برلين رحت ادور بلندن
رجعت لقيتك بعمان وما تعرفتي عليا
سألتك مالك يا بنية, ليش بتبعدي عني
قلتيلي يا خيا ليش تترك اصلا من اوليها
يا حامل المفتاح رجعنا للصباح
يا عازف المفتاح رقصنا للصباح
Keysدخلك يا لاعب ال
دقلي عالمجاويز
Keysدخلك يا لاعب ال
انده ع حادي العيس- يرقصني على المجاويز
لوحها بالمحرمة, وامشي مشي الحنجلة, ع الدرب الميسرة, ولو كانت معثرة
لوحها بالمحرمة وامشي مشي الحنجلة, لو كانت معثرة, واصبر صبر الحنظلة
سمعني صوت الخشب, سمعني صوت القصب, سمعني صوت الحلو
وريني لون الدرب, وريني لون العشب, و ان شوفته لا تسأله
يا باب السجن ليتك خرابة بعدت بيني و ما بين احبابي
من عرق صدري لأعمل شبابة و أرقص كل الي كانو يحبونا
انت يالغزالة الشاردة . سمرا و شرقية و غاربة

The lyrics to 47soul's song "Ghazal" reflect on the search for identity and belonging, capturing the struggles of displacement and the longing for connection. The line "Thought the search finally is over, Find on screen she won't make it over" suggests that the singer has been searching for someone or something, perhaps an ideal or a sense of belonging, but realizes that it is not achievable or attainable through the virtual world.
The song explores the idea of being caught between two worlds, as expressed in the line "Phase between worlds I catch-up with you afterways, Some things never change no matter how you play them." This can be interpreted as the feeling of being stuck between different cultures or identities and the realization that certain aspects of life remain constant regardless of one's efforts to fit in.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of struggle and resilience, as seen in lines like "Trapped like a zoo animal by these mans' pretension" and "Keysدخلك يا لاعب ال, انده ع حادي العيس- يرقصني على المجاويز." These lines portray a sense of resistance and defiance against societal pressures and expectations.
Overall, "Ghazal" is a thought-provoking song that explores the complexities of identity, the challenges of displacement, and the longing for a sense of belonging.

انت يالغزالة الشاردة
You, the lost gazelle
مش مسؤول عن الي بقولوا على طول ما في حلول للمسأله
I'm not responsible for what they always say, there are no solutions to the problem
انا اعبر ولا نقوم و نضل و لا نشكي الذل للبهدلة
I cross over, neither rise nor continue, nor complain about the humiliation of the disgrace
نوعك لو مين ما اعترف .المسؤول اجا يسحب
Your type, even if no one admits it, the responsible one comes and pulls
مين على الطرف ؟ ... ولا حد شايفني بفور . كله بيتطلع بالمنشور .و بقول
Who's on the edge? ... No one sees me immediately. Everyone looks at the post and says
وا بلادك باردة... سمرا و شرقية و غاربة
And your country is cold... dark-skinned, eastern, and setting
هذه الرساله عن كل حرف بيطلع عن هاي الحرب متجمد
This message is about every letter that comes out frozen from this war
بالظرف .لو ارجع و اشوفك . و راسك عالي... و مرتاحة نوم
In the envelope. If I go back and see you with your head held high... and peacefully sleeping
Overload face the road block the sense and blend in
Overwhelmed, confront the obstacle that hinders understanding and assimilate
Thrown out no buying shade stuck inside a fence-in
Excluded, unable to find shelter, trapped within a confined space
Trapped like a zoo animal by these mans' pretension
Confined like an animal in a zoo due to the arrogance of these individuals
Innit – يا الغزالة الشاردة
Isn't it? Oh, lost gazelle
Ghost illusion
Phantom illusion
Might be your future
Could be your destiny
But you didn′t catch it up with the proof yet
But you haven't yet grasped it with evidence
انت يالغزالة الشاردة . سمرا و شرقية و غاربة
You, the lost gazelle, dark-skinned, eastern, and setting

وصلت رسالة
A message has arrived
خدوني ع جزيرة ما بعرف حدا بيها
Take me to an island where no one knows it
حملوني هالوراق وقالوا تفضل لاقيها
They carried me these papers and said, 'Here, find it'
طلعت بعدها ع برلين رحت ادور بلندن
Then I went to Berlin to search in London
رجعت لقيتك بعمان وما تعرفتي عليا
I returned and found you in Amman, but you didn't recognize me
سألتك مالك يا بنية, ليش بتبعدي عني
I asked you, 'What's wrong, girl? Why are you distancing yourself from me?'
قلتيلي يا خيا ليش تترك اصلا من اوليها
You said to me, 'Oh brother, why do you leave in the first place?'
يا حامل المفتاح رجعنا للصباح
Oh holder of the key, we returned to the morning
يا عازف المفتاح رقصنا للصباح
Oh player of the key, we danced to the morning
لوحها بالمحرمة, وامشي مشي الحنجلة, ع الدرب الميسرة, ولو كانت معثرة
Point at it with the forbidden, and walk with the swagger, on the easy path, even if it's stumbling
لوحها بالمحرمة وامشي مشي الحنجلة, لو كانت معثرة, واصبر صبر الحنظلة
Point at it with the forbidden, and walk with the swagger, even if it's stumbling, and have the patience of the hanzala plant
سمعني صوت الخشب, سمعني صوت القصب, سمعني صوت الحلو
Let me hear the sound of wood, let me hear the sound of reed, let me hear the sweet sound
وريني لون الدرب, وريني لون العشب, و ان شوفته لا تسأله
Show me the color of the path, show me the color of the grass, and if you see it, don't ask him
يا باب السجن ليتك خرابة بعدت بيني و ما بين احبابي
Oh prison door, I wish you were destroyed, you separated me from my loved ones
من عرق صدري لأعمل شبابة و أرقص كل الي كانو يحبونا
From the sweat on my chest, I will make youth, and dance with all those who loved us
و تضل بلادك باردة
And your country will remain cold
