Mother Tareka

**Mother Tareka** (the musical alias of Palestinian-Jordanian artist Tarek Abu Kwaik) crafts genre-blurring soundscapes that fuse electronic beats with traditional Arabic instrumentation and politically charged spoken-word poetry. Based in Amman, their work pulses with themes of resistance, displacement, and diasporic identity, often weaving Levantine cultural textures through tracks like *Levantine Poetic Vision* and *In the Key of the So-Called Free*. Releases like *Elephants* and its remixed counterpart highlight their knack for collaborative experimentation, pairing hypnotic rhythms with lyrical calls for collective imagination and social change. Mother Tareka’s music feels both urgently contemporary and deeply rooted, a sonic bridge between ancestral echoes and futuristic protest.
