by Maya Al Khaldi - مايا الخالدي
The album "Other World", is composed, written and sung by Maya Al-Khaldi and produced by Tawleef.
The album is inspired by Palestinian folklore, influenced by the present, to imagine a sonic future. All songs include either lyrics, melodies, or recordings from the audio archive of the traditional Palestinian music of the Popular Art Center in Ramallah.
The singing and composition of Maya Al-Khaldi is influenced by different western music styles, but in this album Maya learns and practices Palestinian traditional music, arriving at a new vocal expression of her own, which is in constant flux.
In this album, Maya Al Khaldi uses repetition and layering of melodies, sounds, and lyrics in songs as a way to reclaim and re-interpret folkloric music.
