Main activities:
Up until now the group had several official meetings in Jordan, Israel and Sinai - Egypt, recorded original songs in Hebrew and Arabic, participated in some radio interviews and articles around the globe, performed in front of diverse audiences around the Middle East and gave several workshops in Jordan and Israel. The group just returned from a performance in Amman Jordan at the URI 10th anniversary celebration.
Each Musaique meeting takes place in a different spot around the region. In the meetings, the core group is interwoven with the local community, getting inspiration from the roots of the land and its people. The group's work is a fusion of Ancient Sacred music and prayers with old and new musical instruments and genres, forming a new musical language.
we are learning from the different cultures of each other and sharing discussions about our conflicts, history and future.
