Sovarasma opens 2025 with an earnest song about Palestinian identity.

 

zeyne is a Palestinian-Jordanian singer, songwriter and producer. zeyne is known to blend Western music with traditional Middle Eastern instrumentation, harmony, melody and style, drawing inspiration from Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa. The

 

"Asli Ana" is a song of reawakening, exploring the concept of decolonisation by challenging the Western concept of "civilisation", which unfortunately has become a tool for oppression and imperialism. It highlights the importance of preserving the culture and history of the ancestors and indigenous people, in the world where assimilation has become common. The rhythm of "Asli Ana" is of the traditional Levantine folk dance dabke. The video shows her dancing alongside professional dabke dancers, while also featuring traditional Palestinian embroidery, or tatreez. She also wears traditionally male garments, which breaks stereotypes. The song is a tribute to Palestinian folklore, and contains instruments and melodies of Palestinian heritage. All in all, it is a song of Palestinian identity and resistance, as zeyne explains, “It’s about owning who we are, without compromise.”

 

Asli Ana feels like a culmination of this space (a platform for Palestinian art and culture), a vibrant expression of identity, history, and resistance.

 

After more than a year of relentless and indiscriminate assault and attack from I*rael, many Palestinians have lost their homes and struggled to find a safe place to survive. There is a real threat of the erasure of the Palestinian identity. This song really moved me for its unwavering perseverance of identity, and it's especially sombre with how politics are shaping up globally, with the underrepresented and oppressed becoming increasingly susceptible to mistreatment and being silenced.

 

 

Although I only sent the song part of the music video, please take time to watch the monologue in the first 2 minutes which explain the context pretty well. :D

BJSC 172 marks the 50th entry for the country Sovarasma

 

The song was first released in 2012, and a studio edit of this song came out 3 years later. Pim Stones is an English singer with Thai heritage. I first got introduced to this song through YouTube recommendations I believe back in 2012. I instantly fell in love with his deep vocals and the emotional nature of the ballad. I also love the orchestral nature of the song too, with the epic brass coming in the final chorus. This song came first in my personal chart for more than 30 weeks, and every year until 2015 I think this song came back to re-enter at number one to mark its anniversary of release. It has such an impact on me that I spam voted this song in multiple personal charts. 😭

 

Niceland will know this one and the lore of this song with uhsting in their teen years :kink:

Sovarasma withdraws from BJSC 173

ezgif-2939e2e61bad70.jpg

Sovarasma will not be present in the upcoming Buzzjack Song Contest (BJSC) since BJSC 132

The official Sovarasman broadcaster Longorama of Sovarasma (LRS) cites financial difficulties as the primary reason of withdrawal. The decision comes after a series of commendable performances by Sovarasma. Notably, in BJSC 161, held in January 2024, Sovarasma was predicted to be a strong contender. Forum member RobBot anticipated a top-five finish, stating, "I think Sovarasma will dominate on the 18s front though but think Cor Lupus might have a tad more universal appeal." Then, Sovarasma competed with Fat Dog's "King of the Slugs" which came 1st with 354 points -- no winner from thence has surpassed this points record. Unfortunately, hosting BJSC 162 and 163 has proven to have cost LRS a colossal amount of money. The expenses have not yet to this day been offset by rising tourist figures. This also comes after inviting one of the biggest Sovarasman artists Pim Stones to compete in BJSC 172, which surpassed non-qualification predictions to finish 28th in the grand final. However, despite their musical successes, the financial challenges have proven insurmountable at this time.

As BJSC 173 approaches, the contest will undoubtedly feel the absence of Sovarasma's unique contributions, such as their introduction to new languages and impactful concepts. The situation serves as a reminder of the various challenges that participating nations may face beyond the music itself. LRS will be sorting out their finances and hope to make a triumphant return to the contest in the near future.

BREAKING: LRS Executive Goes Missing — Broadcaster of Sovarasma Sounds Alarm

image.png

Longorama of Sovarasma (LRS) – The national broadcaster of Sovarasma is facing a crisis this morning after a high-ranking executive has reportedly gone missing, prompting widespread concern both within the media community and among government officials.


Who is Missing

According to internal Longorama sources, Celia Maravich, Deputy Director of Programming, did not report for duty. She was scheduled to review content plans for several upcoming shows but did not show up for a board meeting the following morning. The meeting, normally held at LRS Headquarters in Agerson, proceeded with her absence awkwardly acknowledged but without formal explanation.

Maravich is considered one of the key figures in Longorama’s leadership team, known for spearheading the broadcaster’s push into digital platforms. Her disappearance has raised urgent questions about the stability of ongoing projects and the safety of other senior staff.


Response from LRS and Authorities

LRS issued a brief statement late last night:

“LRS is cooperating fully with law enforcement agencies to locate Deputy Director Celia Maravich. We ask the public to respect her privacy during this distressing time. We are committed to maintaining broadcasting operations without disruption.”

No details have been released regarding any suspected cause — whether her disappearance is voluntary, accidental, or involves foul play.

The national police force in Sovarasma has confirmed that an official missing persons report has been filed. Officers are investigating Maravich’s last known whereabouts and reviewing surveillance footage from public transit and the areas surrounding her home and workplace.


Public Reaction

Social media in Sovarasma has been awash with speculation. Some outlets question whether the disappearance could be politically motivated, given that Maravich has recently overseen content that criticizes government policy. Others suggest personal reasons or safety concerns.

Journalists and staffers at LRS are reportedly anxious. Several internal meetings have been suspended, and there is talk of heightened security around executive offices.


Looking Ahead

Authorities have asked anyone with information on Maravich’s whereabouts to come forward. LRS have also indicated that they will appoint an acting Deputy Director of Programming in the coming days, to ensure that ongoing operations are not compromised.

The public and media will be watching closely. Whether Celia Maravich is found safe soon, and whether any underlying causes are revealed, could have lasting repercussions for LRS leadership and the integrity of Sovarasma’s media environment.

BREAKING: Missing LRS Executive Behind Money Laundering

arrested.jpg

The missing executive has been located, which is found to be conspiring with Why So Sirius against Sovarasma's BJSC participation by taking most of the funds set for the contest. Several LRS employees have discovered the shamed executive's disgust for Sovarasma's artistic direction in the contest, most notably their non-qualifications last year with The Blarney Stone, Hertan and I.Y.D.K. Why So Sirius originally didn't have enough funds to participate but a boost in contribution from the arrested executive until the funds dried up had sustained their participation in BJSC for 6 editions, culminating in 5 qualifications. The head of delegation for Sirius Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), the broadcaster for Why So Sirius, is seen visibly upset when they discovered that the executive cannot provide more funds to continue their participation. Hence, the executive had recruited The Map, the spokesperson for Sovarasma in BJSC 167, to expose Neliönoir's location and kidnap the delegation for money to keep their participation going.


Response from LRS and Authorities

The Longorama of Sovarasma (LRS) has been working closely with the Neliönoir delegation to identify the missing executive and arrest the perpetuators. Thankfully, the suspects have been identified and caught with the help of Buzzpol, the international police in Buzzverse. We expect SBC to have their broadcasting license revoked after the next general assembly to be held in Morpeth Cove, République d'Áskorza.


Future of Sovarasma in BJSC

Amidst the siphoning of money, Sovarasma has managed to receive secret donations from several countries, not to be named due to confidentiality but can confirm they have been assisting us in exposing Why So Sirius shady operations in Neliönoir and vowing to help Sovarasma return to the contest. This means Sovarasma is financially able to participate in the next contest.

Song submissions have opened and we expect to announce our next artist and song shortly once the deadline has passed.
