Compilation of our live performances - including with Mira Awad, Cigdem Aslan, and only the Core Ensemble.
Makam Salam with Çiğdem Aslan
Makam Salam with Mira Awad
0:00 - 1:50 – This particular rendition opens with a special tribute to Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha, a Palestinian music teacher who continues teaching children and community members in Gaza amid the destruction. Surrounded by the constant buzz of surveillance drones, he creates moments of resilience by making music with the drones themselves.
2:00 - Zaamat Naamat (Leadership & Sheep) starts, a powerful song about corrupt leadership and blind following.
Makam Salam with Mira Awad
Makam Salam core band only
Makam Salam core band extended with Olcay Bayir - a beautiful, heart-opening shared meditation with the audience, sending prayers to those affected by the conflict
These recordings were made live during Makam Salam's recent show at Pizza Express Jazz Club, capturing the energy of our live performances. Studio recordings and album coming next year.
