Jerusalem sound artist and vocalist Maya al-Khaldi used the archives at the Popular Art Centre in creating her 2022 album Other World. The fuzzy mijwiz (bamboo reed pipe) recording that opens the record is sampled from El Funoun’s archive; so is the rababa (bowed string instrument) that darts in and out between snatches of conversation with Tata Fatima Al-Khalidi.

Al-Khaldi is masterful in her interpretations of tradition. On “Zaghritu,” al-Khaldi begins with an awiha (also known as hahawi), a type of folk music sung by women at weddings and other celebrations. According to ethnomusicologist Ḍirghām Ḥannā Sbait, awiha typically consist of four lines of improvised or written praise for the groom and bride, followed by celebratory zaghrouta (ululations). For “Zaghritu,” al-Khaldi sings of the particular connection of Palestinian women to the land, extending the closing zaghrouta in hypnotic cascades.
