As Muslims for Progressive Values team began to create the Muslim Musical Mosaic Project we identified five artists and creators to partner with bringing diverse musical expertise. The diverse demographic background and musical experience was paramount to the project as we wanted it to reflect the very diverse demographic makeup that represents American Muslims. As a cohort, there was an agreement that despite the very rich musical history from our respective heritages, what was lacking is “that next thing”, a uniquely American Muslim musical tradition. We also agreed that some of the common denominators of our musical heritage were percussion, the maqam scale (Eastern scale), and a call-answer structure.
The Muslim Musical Mosaic Project event will anchor the rich conversations held by the Mosaic cohort about our history and anthropology with live performances as an illustration of that history as well as two new compositions: a blues rendition in Urdu and a modern rendition of the old gnawa music.
