SUMMARY:Palestinian Sound Archive comes to DC
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWashington\, DC\n\nThe Palestinian Sound Arch
 ive is coming to DC on Monday\, Feburary 24th!\n\nJoin us at Nabiha DC a
 nd El Secreto De Rosita for a joint venue event filled with mesmerizing 
 sounds and stories from Palestine.\n\nEvent Details Below:\n\nInside the P
 alestinian Sound Archive: Preserving the Audiovisual Legacy of Palestine\,
  One Record at a Time.\n\nUncovered from old shops and markets across the 
 West Bank\, this archive compiles vinyl records and tapes along with stori
 es of their production\, distribution and relevance to Palestinian history
 . Founder Mo’min Swaitat tells us about the origins of the project.\n\nT
 he Palestinian Sound Archive is a celebration of music\, spoken word and a
 lbum artwork from historic Palestine\, mainly from the 1960s – 1990s. It
  is part of the Majazz Project\, a Palestinian-led record label and resear
 ch platform founded by actor\, director and filmmaker Mo’min Swaitat in 
 2020.\n\nOver several years\, Swaitat amassed an extensive archive of cass
 ettes and vinyl records from Palestine and beyond\, spanning everything fr
 om field recordings of Bedouin weddings to revolutionary albums from the F
 irst and Second Intifadas\, instrumental tracks\, poetry\, soul\, folk son
 gs and jazz. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Swa
 itat’s hometown Jenin\, in the north of the West Bank.\n\nPalestinian So
 und Archive was born out of the archive and is focused on sampling\, remix
 ing and reissuing vintage Palestinian and Arab albums\, shedding new light
  on the richness and diversity of Palestinian and Arab cultural and musica
 l heritage.\n\nSwaitat comes from a long line of Bedouin musicians and sto
 rytellers\, and the archive references his rootedness in music as a means 
 of celebrating one’s culture and sense of belonging. He plays everything
  from jazz to funk\, soul to dabke\, field recordings to spoken word\, and
  folk to electronic music from Palestine\, the broader region and across t
 he Global South.\n\nThis event explores archival practice as a decolonial 
 methodology and act of resistance\, through sharing archival sounds and im
 ages that preserve and document Palestinian heritage\, culture and resista
 nce.\n\nThis listening session features sounds from the Majazz Project\, P
 alestinian Sound Archive and friends\, with merchandise on sale to support
  the project.\n\n**Food and drinks will be also available for order. Proce
 eds from tickets will go to support the work of the Palestinian Sound Arch
 ive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
