Mai Mai Mai & Tareq Abboushi
Initiated during a residency at Radio Alhara’s Wonder Cabinet studio in Bethlehem, Palestine, this special collaboration brings together the electronic and research-based practice of Mai Mai Mai with Tareq Abboushi's buzuq, keyboards and voice. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, and educator Tareq Abboushi showcases a diverse background that can be heard across multiple genres ranging from classical Arab, to Jazz, Electronic and film scoring. Mai Mai Mai explores the haunted intersections of Mediterranean folklore, ritual and memory, blending archival material and field recordings with contemporary experimental music. In dialogue with Abboushi's musical language, the project opens a space where sonic traditions are not preserved as static heritage but reactivated and transformed in real time, intertwining analog electronics, field textures and traditional instruments.
Presented by Radio Alhara & Wonder Cabinet
