In Safa, Nizar delves into the depths of the solo Oud, tracing his musical journey from the instrument’s earliest days in his life to the present. The title Safa, which in Arabic signifies purity, refinement, and clarity, mirrors the album’s intimate and stripped-back nature. It also symbolizes a desire for sanity and lucidity, particularly amidst the recent harsh realities unfolding in Palestine and the broader Middle East. It became a way for him to confront despair and reaffirm the power of music, both as personal expression and as a reflection of collective identity.
