CD Production

The newly established Palestinian music groups and singers are not well know on an International level.  This is partly due to the fact there exist no functioning local distribution network for the music products, tapes and compact discs.  It is very difficult for Palestinian music bands and singers to promote and sell their tapes or CDs, despite of their quality.

This project is aimed to produce and market CD's with a variety of quality Palestinian songs.  The income generated from the CDs sold will be invested in a Palestinian Cultural Fund that would provide small - scale grants for cultural activities.

"Palestinian Sounds", our first production

The following are the tracks for the CD:
1.  The Oriental Music Ensemble (2 tracks)
2.  Sabreen (2 tracks)
3.  Rim Banna
4.  Washem
5.  Yuad
6.  Aaras
7.  Mustapha el Kurd
8.  Marwan Abado
9.  Baraem
10. Karloma
11. El - Funoun
12. Oudeh Tourjman
13. Khaled Jubran & Ahmad al Khatib

The production of the CD includes the translation of selected songs into English.  The songs texts is included in a small booklet with information about each group.  The design of the CD cover is done by "Turbo" a professional designer company in Palestine.

The project is a joint work between:

Yabous Productions is responsible for producing and marketing the CD (re - mix, Translation of songs, design, contacting groups, general administrative work needed, etc)

The National Conservatory of Music is responsible for the artistic part (selection of suitable songs, quality, control)

UNDP - United Nations Development Program - will serve as overall executing agency for the project
