EME NAKIA's Blurbs |
About me:
Eme Nakia is the title of a unique 16-minute film that Tony Hajjar along with his band Sparta will release as part of a special edition of their new album, Threes. The word Eme means Mother in Arabic, and Nakia was the name of Tonys mother. The album and short film will be available on October 24, 2006 from Hollywood Records.
The film grew out of a desire for the band to make a movie while recording their third album. Jim Ward, frontman and guitarist for the band, suggested telling the story of Hajjar's (Spartas drummer) remarkable personal history: He was born in Beirut, Lebanon and at the age of 5, along with his family, fled his country during the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990. They immigrated to the United States, settling in the sprawling west Texas border town of El Paso. When Hajjar was fourteen his Eme died after a bout with cancer and his father, who had been distant, left the family. His brother, only 18-years old at the time, assumed responsibility for the family and raised Tony and his sister. In the film, we follow Hajjars early life story, showing his challenges and ending with him in present-day.
