Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's Thulth takes the listener to lush and complex grounds with its rich sound, flowing with gentle melancholic melody and multiple sonic layers. It also takes the listener into sudden ferocious walls-of-sounds, it's a sharp reminder of Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's abilities as one of the few to imbue the region's sound with sentiments of fury and restlessness. Thulth also shows Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's vocal prowess, gutsy modal twisting, fragmented structuring, constant shape-shifting of styles and dizzying vocal harmonies.

2008 release. Tamer Abu Ghazaleh's debut album Mir'ah (Mirror) was released in 2008. Recorded with a group of Palestinian and Egyptian performers, the record's seven entrancing and sometimes frenzied songs were written during a turbulent period of demonstrations, bombardment and invasion of Palestinian cities. Composed during curfews, the album expresses everyday human emotions - love, hate, comfort, boredom, excitement - that were informed by the unreal experience of living in Palestine during that period. Tamer Abu Ghazaleh is a leading figure in modern Arabic culture. The Palestinian singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer has over the past few years collaborated in many music projects and founded eka3, a regional platform dedicated to promoting, producing, distributing, and touring independent Arabic music.
