The album The Remaining Voice: Tribute for Juliano Mer Khamis in collaboration with Abu Recordings marks eleven years since the assassination of the Palestinian thinker, actor, director, activist and revolutionary, Juliano Mer khamis. Until now, there has been no further investigation into his killing. Juliano was assassinated on the 4th April at 3pm in 2011, just outside The Freedom Theatre, the space he founded in Jenin refugee camp for the local community.
Note from Majazz Projects: All proceeds raised from this album will be go towards a new participatory theatre, playground and outdoor space supporting the arts, education and biodiversity in Jenin.
Over several years, Mo’min Swaitat has amassed an archive of rare tapes and vinyl from Palestine and beyond, spanning field recordings of weddings to revolutionary tracks and synth-heavy 80s funk. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Jenin in the north of the West Bank. The Majazz Project is a research project borne out of the archive, focused around sampling, remixing and reissuing vintage Palestinian cassettes. It is a collaboration between Arab and non-Arab DJs, producers and artists interested in shedding new light on the richness and diversity of Palestinian musical heritage.
