{"product_id":"zreik-firas-tarabesque","title":"Zreik, Firas - Tarabesque","description":"With \u003ci\u003eTarabesque\u003c\/i\u003e, Firas Zreik delivers his boldest and most visionary work to date. Fearlessly placing the kanun—the shimmering Mediterranean harp—at the center of a jazz quartet, a hybrid ensemble, and an Arab Takht ensemble, Zreik reimagines the instrument as both a rhythmic engine and melodic force. He builds a world of Maqam-driven melodies woven through rich harmonic and modal landscapes that feel fresh, organic, and defiantly new.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBased in New York City, Zreik is a Palestinian composer and kanunist who recently received Grammy recognition as a songwriter and performer on Residente's award-winning album Las Letras Ya No Importan, and composed The Art of Kanun, a film music album commissioned by Universal Music Production France. He is an official showcase artist at WOMEX 2022, a MacDowell Fellow, and has performed at Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, and The Jazz Gallery.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith \u003ci\u003eTarabesque\u003c\/i\u003e, Zreik signals the emergence of a new musical language—merging Tarab, the ecstatic listening state central to Arab musical traditions, with global influences to create a sound timeless, urgent, and entirely his own.","brand":"Maqam Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51392127861014,"sku":"RMX-69228","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51392127959318,"sku":"RMX-69229","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/201375131415.jpg?v=1780669720","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/zreik-firas-tarabesque","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
