Ameen and Thorben developed their own sound of arabic melodies mixed with classic harmonic structures, enriched with baselines and kicks. Piano, synthesizer, drum machine, percussion and vocals find their new home in oriental Slow-House. The feedback was amazing. Since that Shkoon played together on famous festivals and clubs like the Fusion Festival and Kater Blau in Berlin. They are also playing a lot on political and cultural events to spread their idea of intercultural sound.
“We feel good with jamming and performing live and love to spread positivity around, just to proof there is no borders between cultures.”

Shkoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
قالت اخاف الناس
قآ لت اخاف الناس
قلت لها ارفقــــي، يا فتنة الحسن
يآ فتنة الحسن الخليـــــج الأسمري
رفعت حجاب الحسن
رفعت حجاب الحسن عن وجناتهـا فتساقط البلور
فتسقط البلور فوق الجـوهر
النـآس الناس بليلها ترتاح و انا مساهر عيوني يابا
النآس النآس الناس
الناس بليلها ترتاح و انا مساهر عيوني
يابا حبـــيـبي اللي كنت امشي وياه و نقض اللــــيل
تسمونك؟
حبيبي حبيبي حبيبي حبيبي
In this song, Shkoon tells the story of a veiled woman that he meets and asks her to remove her veil, and she tells him that she is afraid of people's judgment. He then tells her to be gentle as she is beauty from the Arabian Gulf, and she agrees by removing her veil, which causes crystals to fall from her face onto the ground. Shkoon then becomes emotional and asks his listeners to hear him out as he expresses his sleeplessness due to his lover leaving him.
The lyrics touch on several themes, such as beauty, identity, and societal expectations. The veiled woman represents the insecurities that people feel and the pressure they face to conform to societal norms. Shkoon, on the other hand, recognizes and celebrates her unique identity and beauty, encouraging her to be gentle instead of fearing the judgment of others.

She came veiled, so I said to her
She said I fear people
She said I fear people
I said to her, Attach me, O allure of beauty
The allure of beauty Al-Asmari Gulf
Beauty's veil lifted
She lifted the veil of beauty from her cheeks, and the crystal fell
The crystal fell above the substance
Of course, I want to say loudly, oh people, listen to me
People sleep at night and relax while I watch my eyes as yaba
People people people
People rest at night while I watch my eyes
Dad, my dear, who used to walk and break the night
Do you call you?
My love my love my love my love
Watch someone try correct it
By all means go ahead
