2008 release. Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's debut album Mir'ah (Mirror) was released in 2008. Recorded with a group of Palestinian and Egyptian performers, the record's seven entrancing and sometimes frenzied songs were written during a turbulent period of demonstrations, bombardment and invasion of Palestinian cities. Composed during curfews, the album expresses everyday human emotions - love, hate, comfort, boredom, excitement - that were informed by the unreal experience of living in Palestine during that period. Tamer Abu Ghazaleh is a leading figure in modern Arabic culture. The Palestinian singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer has over the past few years collaborated in many music projects and founded eka3, a regional platform dedicated to promoting, producing, distributing, and touring independent Arabic music.
