About this release
Recorded at home in 1987, The Intifada brings Riad Awwad together with his sisters Hanan, Alia and Nariman, using equipment he built himself. Their voices sit over synthesizer lines and lively percussion, connecting Palestinian songs and poetry with a homemade electronic sound. Lyrics by Hanan Awwad and Mahmoud Darwish form part of the recording’s account of place, identity and resistance during the First Intifada. Originally distributed on cassette, the music was later recovered through Mo’min Swaitat’s archive and reissued by Majazz Project. The album preserves both the intimacy of the family performances and the circumstances in which they were made.
