Oxford Maqam

Oxford Maqam’s musicians are some of just a handful in the world exploring the repertoires of the early 20th century with authenticity. This was a period of creativity and artistic licence in which Arabic sound recordings set the musical tone across the Eastern Mediterranean and Arab world.

Their brand of music- beautiful and engaging recreations of Egyptian and Levantine songs from the mid 1800s through to the early cinema era - offers an opportunity to listen to a repertoire now seldom performed.
