Extracts from the Palestinian Sound Archive: Mixed by Mo’min Swaitat

The Palestinian Sound Archive is a research platform and record label, part of the Majazz Project, dedicated to preserving and sharing Palestine’s musical heritage. The archive collects, restores and reissues historic recordings – from poetry and spoken word to folk, jazz and field recordings – highlighting the richness and diversity of Palestinian musical heritage, while approaching archival practice as a decolonial act of cultural preservation and resistance. Here, founder Mo'min Swaitat compiles a mix made up of sounds from the collection.
