Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's debut album Mir'ah (Mirror) was released in 2008. Recorded with a group of Palestinian and Egyptian performers, the record's seven turbulent, entrancing and sometimes frenzied songs were written during a turbulent period of demonstrations, bombardment and invasion of Palestinian cities.Visit product page →
Composed during curfews, the album expresses everyday human emotions - love, hate, comfort, boredom, excitement - that were informed by the unreal experience of living in Palestine during that period.
A restless and inventive performer and promoter of a wide range of music and artistic activity, Tamer Abu Ghazaleh is a leading figure in modern Arabic culture.
The Palestinian singer, multi - instrumentalist, composer and producer has over the past few years collaborated in many music projects, released a debut album and founded eka3 (2007), a regional platform dedicated to promoting, producing, distributing, and touring independent Arabic music.

Thulth takes us to lush and complex grounds with its rich sound, flowing with gentle melancholic melody and multiple sonic layers, and equally taking us into sudden ferocious walls of sound - a sharp reminder of Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's abilities as one of the few to imbue the region's sound with sentiments of fury and restlessness, vocal prowess, gutsy modal twisting, fragmented structuring, constant shapeshifting in styles and - sometimes - dizzying vocal harmonies.Visit product page →
