Can you hear the living breath of the mawwal? The beauty of muwashshah poetry and the passionate melodies of the maqam? These artistic pearls combine to form the intricate necklace that is Syrian music. Yet what happens with a guardian of these traditions opens the door to the world and all its influences?
A faithful defender of her country’s musical heritage, the outstanding singer Maïs Harb is not afraid to draw inspiration from cultures the world over, and this evolving perspective is reflected in her music. Armed with a fresh artistic vision informed and influenced by her many travels, Maïs Harb’s perspective is that of a Syrian, but also of a foreigner.
Returning to My Native Syria tells the story of this deeply moving transformation, a tale of coming home following a profound metamorphosis.
