Marwan Abado

Oriental Jazz | Lebanon + Palestine

Marwan Abado is a Palestinian singer, composer and oud player. Born a refugee in Lebanon, he later moved to Austria to pursue his studies. He is currently performing as a solo musician and member of various ensembles in Austria and worldwide.

Abado´s influences range from traditional Palestinian music to jazz. The richness of his music finds its roots in the classical Arabic musical tradition of “taqâsîm”; contemporary Arab poetry and prose also play an important role in Abado´s lyrics; his texts often feature thought-provoking commentary on the political realities of the Palestinians.
