Ramzi Aburedwan رمزي أبو رضوان One artist whose music has been indelibly influenced by the long lasting social repercussions of Partition. Ramzi’s life trajectory has by no means been ordinary. This Palestinian artist was born in Bethlehem in 1979 and grew up in the Al’ Amari refugee camp in Ramallah. His grandfather was forcibly removed from the village where he lived in 1948. Ordered to leave his home, a picturesque place dotted with lush eucalyptus trees and sweet-smelling citrus orchards, Ramzi’s grandfather then took up residence in Al-Amari, a refugee camp in Ramallah, West Bank. Ramzi himself was raised in the same neighbourhood – a cramped concrete jungle where poverty presided. Now Ramzi is an accomplished musician and has released his debut album, Reflections Of Palestine (2012) on Riverboat Records. On the album he plays the bouzouk, a long-necked lute related to the Greek bouzouki and Turkish saz. ramziaburedwan/1?locale=en
