Palestine’s Lost Tapes: The Majazz Project
Mo’min Swaitat trained at the Jenin Freedom Theatre in the West Bank, occupied Palestine, and is now based here in London. It was on a trip home during the pandemic that he re-discovered a long-abandoned dusty tape shop- a faint memory from his childhood. A sensorium of thousands of Palestinian tapes, many of the tracks he found were produced during the first Palestinian uprising of the 1980s.
The treasure trove of revolutionary tracks have since been re-released under his archival label of Majazz Project, and are powerful, defiant and deeply moving sounds of resistance, of loss and of hope. May your listening be part of strident collective efforts to protest, to mourn and to learn.
Medea (Ancient Greek Μήδεια; meaning “planner”)
The Little Argonaut has eclosed as The Medea, to illuminate the margins of patriarchal narrative.
