Moira Dela Torre enters new creative phase with Ben&Ben, Sam Concepcion collaborations
OPM singer-songwriter Moira Dela Torre has opened a new chapter in her music career with the release of two new collaborative tracks: 'I'm Okay' with award-winning folk-pop band Ben&Ben, and 'Mapasakin Ka' with singer-actor Sam Concepcion. 'I'm Okay' marks Dela Torre's third collaboration with Ben&Ben, following the success of their earlier hits 'Paalam' and 'Pasalubong.' The latest track offers a reflective message on emotional vulnerability and the non-linear journey toward healing. 'It's been a while since our last collab with Moi, but every time we work together, it's just as special as the last one. Thank you for letting us add a piece of ourselves into your already beautiful song,' Ben&Ben said in an Instagram post. In a separate project, Dela Torre also released 'Mapasakin Ka' with long-time friend Sam Concepcion. Dubbed the 'Queen of Hugot Songs,' Dela Torre's latest work underscores her passion for creating music in collaboration with those she deeply values.

Who are the pilgrims riding from Spain to Makkah on horseback, reviving an Andalusian tradition?
In this episode of Culture Bites, hosts Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews trace the journey of pilgrims who rode all the way from Spain to Makkah on horseback. The riders crossed 6,500km over seven months to arrive at the holy site in time for Hajj. Inspired by a promise that one of them made to himself 36 years earlier, the journey recreates the Andalusian tradition performed by Muslims 500 years ago. Enas and Farah reflect on the pilgrims' role in representing their faith and community to the world. The hosts also discuss the South Asian and Arabic influences in western pop music and hip-hop. The latest example is Sapphire, a new song by Ed Sheeran in which he sings a line in Punjabi. But he is certainly not the first. Our hosts recall some of the big hits from artists such as Jay-Z, Britney Spears and Aaliyah that have sampled tracks from the region, and they pose the question, where do we draw the line between collaboration and appropriation?

Ed Sheeran sings in Punjabi in new song Sapphire
Ed Sheeran has paid tribute to India in his new song, singing a line in Punjabi. In Sapphire, the English singer breaks into Punjabi for one line in the chorus, which translates to 'they sparkle just like stars'. Sheeran has collaborated with Indian playback singer Arijit Singh on the new single, a collaboration he described as the 'final jigsaw piece' in recording the track. Singh also plays the sitar on the track. The video for the song is filmed in various locations around India, and was shot earlier this year while Sheeran was on tour in the country. ' Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading,' Sheeran wrote about his new single in an Instagram caption. 'It's why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India.' Speaking of filming the video in India, he wrote: 'We wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture.' He added that the song is his favourite on the album and he has recorded a version entirely in Punjabi with Singh, which he promises 'will come out in the next few weeks'. Sheeran took his +−=÷× Tour (said The Mathematics Tour) to India in January and February this year, performing seven dates in six locations, last year he also performed a standalone night in Mumbai. Sheeran's upcoming album, Play, is set to be released in September. He has already released singles Old Phone and Azizam, as well as Sapphire. Azizam is heavily influenced by the region. The song was co-written by Swedish–Iranian songwriter Ilya Salmanzadeh. Discussing the single on Instagram, Sheeran said the track draws on Iranian musical influences, which he found echoes aspects of traditional Irish folk. 'I wrote Azizam after Ilya suggested trying out music inspired by his Persian heritage and culture,' he said. 'I love learning about music and different cultures the more I travel and connect with people. It was like opening a door to a completely new and exciting world. 'I loved how a lot of the rhythms, scales, melodies and instruments were different but similar to the Irish trad music I grew up with. It showed me that music connects us all – it really is a universal language. This whole album is about being playful, explorative and celebratory.' In March, a large heart-shaped balloon was put on display in at Bla Bla beach club and dining venue in Dubai's JBR district to promote the single.
