Part 2

An interactive workshop where Tamer AbuGhazaleh, Maryam Saleh and Maurice Louca will dissect several tracks from their album Lekhfa, giving insight on the creative process around each track, the instrumentation, the role of the poetry and how it influenced the music making and the structures of the compositions.
