We’re thrilled to announce that our MaSC team was involved in the ambisonic recording of “Ramadaniyyat: The Boom Diwaniya,” in partnership with the NYUAD Music Program. This event connected Arabian Gulf and Swahili Coastal communities through a celebration of their shared musical traditions.

Held as a musical salon, “The Boom Diwaniya” featured performances by traditional groups such as The Hamad Bin Hussein Ensemble and The Mayouf Mejally Ensemble, alongside guest artists like violinist Layth Sidiq and multi-instrumentalist Mbarak Ali Haji. The evening was a vibrant homage to the cultural heritage of the Western Indian Ocean, highlighting the traditional sea arts and the Kuwaiti diwaniya.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this unique and culturally rich recording experience!
