This concludes with quality-recorded intimate live music sessions, accessible to the world on the YouTube platform. From indie ballads & ethnic folk, jazz, rock and electronic sets—‘The Closet Sessions’ crew paint a canvas of musical colours for everyone to explore. Along the process of highlighting the layers of Jordan’s multicultural music scene, comes the regional and international music projects that complement the overall canvas of the current scene. ‘The Closet Sessions’ universal concept is not new, but it is the first of its kind in the Middle East, uplifting the musical scene and contributing to the universal dialogue of cultural production.
