Sabreen Group
Hases Maz'ooj (Feeling Bothered)
$17.99
A radical departure from the art music and traditional instruments that Sabreen is known for, this recording is street level popular music with a message, delivered by a diverse group of artists brought together by the Sabreen ensemble to create a new musical commentary. Unlike the traditional and classical instrumentation of their earlier recordings, this is a studio production of samples, loops and electronics, overlayed with the acoustic instruments but driven by the machines. For Sabreen, this is as radical as the message of the songs.

The Sabreen group's satement about this recording:
The production is an ironic political compilation of songs that describe the social, political and economic realities in Palestine The lyrics are simple and express the colours, the siege, the frustration and the request for change. It tackles daily issues of a daily life.
Hases Maz’ooj was recorded and produced at Sabreen studio in Jerusalem and in cooperation with Muhammad Bakry and Hind Ayyoub, two leading theater and cinema artists, Reem Talhami and Wissam Murad, two leading Palestinian singers and Charlie Saleh, a particular voice and talent. The production includes 6 musicians of different oriental and western instruments. Said Murad composed lyrics and original music.
The continuous and very rapid changes that occur in this area turns what is true for today, into what is not true the day after. This production is an expression of our reaction to this situation.
It is inspire by Palestinian folkloric styles of music and poetry zajal, folk music, story telling, with classical Arab singing influences and
notions of rap music.
