Middle Eastern rhythms and the democratisation of gender roles
Files
Abstract
Using well known and beloved Lebanese folk tunes, an original composition and arrangement as metaphors toward the dialogue of gender equality and artistic expression in the Middle East. Through interpreting Middle Eastern musical traditions through a jazz sensibility, I wish to explore the potential of increased democracy within a musical ensemble setting, using this metaphorically to open the conversation of female inclusion in the arts community and canon in the Arab world.
