Entering the Live-Gig-Phase
سلامات Salamat dear Musiqa-Followers,
I hope you're all doing well,
The last months here were characterized by great times, but also ups and downs in our workshops. All in all we had a great time and beautiful rehearsals and just in time with the Palestinian summer heat we started performing with our Workshop-Band a few weeks ago.
Below you find a link to a video of one of the songs we played at our first concert at a "summer school project" in Beit Sahur, close to Bethlehem. We performed 4 songs, the one recorded is an Arabic-Pop-Rock Song, "Waynek min Zaman", "where have you been since (such a long) time".
In the video, from left to right, you see me, Theresa, Ahmed (the co-teacher), Yazan the trumpet player, Fatma, Christine and Mary (vocals), Fuad and Tamer (Tabla and Drums).
Entering the phase of performing is one of the corner stones of our musiqa project - so I am happy to tell you that we successfully took this step and realized our first small concerts.
We're hoping to play some more gigs and of course I will keep you informed about it.
Keep up the vibe, Thanks for your support and all the best,
The "Musiqa"-Band and Philipp
