Also from Gaza, oud player Reem Anbar is the heart of Gazelleband, a duo of Anbar and ethnomusicologist Louis Brehony, who plays buzuq. Now based in Manchester, Anbar is a part of a new generation of Gazan musicians that includes Said Fadel of Sol Band (of which Anbar was an early member) and Dawaween frontwoman Rawan Okasha. Here, Anbar and Brehony (who recently published an ethnography of Palestinian music) perform seven instrumental songs informed by Palestinian and Arabic styles like muwashshah (a classical Arabic poetic form found in “Salla Fina al-Lahza Hindiyya ”) and taqsim (improvisation). Brehony’s Irish background comes into play here too, with traditional jigs and reels providing the basis for the melodies in “Irlandiyat.” The song indexes a longer history of Irish-Palestinian solidarity that stems from both regions’ histories of colonization by the British Empire. But on “Nazih (Displacement),” Anbar’s own sound shines through in her musical reflection on the ongoing destruction of her hometown. Poignant without dipping into melancholy, “Nazih” remains a powerful expression of sumud in the face of terror. Influenced by older intifada songs as well as the music of Umm Kulthum, Farid al-Atrash, Fairuz, and Marcel Khalife, Anbar represents a new instrumental sound of resistance.
