Sabreen Group
–
the Palestinian Music
Group was formed in 1980 with a vision focused on
the development of the Palestinian modern song,
reflecting the humanitarian and cultural reality in
general, and the suffering endured from the
political situation in particular. Thus, their
recordings remain imbued with a sense of hope, yet
reflect the frustrations and longing associated with
Palestine.
Its music is constantly
taking new directions and forms and as such,
embodies the spirit of creativity and innovation.
Sabreen music is a language and a world of its own
and is derived from local sources (folklore,
traditional music) as well as international sources
(jazz, rock, etc.). This unique blend of music and
cultures continue to distinguish Sabreen's music
thus presenting it as a recognized Palestinian and
International voice.

Rather than remain static, producing new albums but
churning out the same sound year after year, its sound
has evolved and matured to mix soulful lyrics with a
fusion of musical influences, including classical oriental
Arabic, and musical traditions from the east and the
west. Its music is constantly taking new directions
and forms and as such, embodies the spirit of creativity
and innovation.

As they cannot be placed in the standard, tidy categories
of most commercial productions in the music industry,
Sabreen's recordings are laborious to promote, difficult
to market, thus requiring sustaining financially. It
is a blend of stubbornness and flexibility that
has sustained Sabreen through the passing years, as
it has had to compensate for the lacking infrastructure
necessary for its growth.
