Wijdan (Arabic: وِجْدَان) is a term that conveys sentiment, nostalgia, and deep attachment. The project seeks to shape a modern musical identity rooted in Libyan folklore, bringing authentic melodies from Libya to the world stage.
This will be my debut album and one of the first to emerge from Libya with this contemporary sound. Drawing on Sufi/Andalusian traditions, North African grooves, and Mediterranean melodies, my music blends Middle Eastern maqamat with Oriental Jazz and global influences. Wijdan reinterprets Libyan heritage while creating bridges across cultures.
If you’re interested in the project, feel free to contact me directly.
