Happy to share the first track from 'Songs We Carry' a collab between myself and British singer-songwriter Ana Silvera where we explore the common ground between our heritages – the emotive melancholy of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music and the rich Maqams and intricate melodies of Arabic song.

Matjar Adib متجر أديب aime tisser des liens. Entre le passé et le présent, entre les répertoires savant, sacré et populaire du Proche-Orient, entre le public et les musiciens. Son nom, « Magasin d'Adib », provient d'un rêve : redonner vie aux cassettes autrefois vendues dans le magasin d'Adib Al-Dayekh, célèbre chanteur Alépin.

Saied Silbak is a Palestinian composer and oud player born in Shafaa`mr, in the lower Galilee of occupied Palestine. He began training in classical piano at the age of four, before moving onto the oud in his early teens to delve deep into the nuances at the base of Arabic music. Silbak has a unique understanding of different types of music, from Arabic, Turkish and Indian to classical Western styles. 

His signature sound, created through his artful ability to fuse these styles together, has seen him perform around the world at festivals and concert series in the UK, Belgium, France, Palestine, Morocco, Argentina and beyond.

In recent years he has worked with many artists on interdisciplinary projects and has been involved in educational and community work, developing a politically and socially engaged practice.
