Al-Ehtifal Project is a musical ensemble based on the idea of integrating spontaneous thoughts into performance moments, as a way of communication. The word Al-Ehtifal comes from Arabic and translates as The Celebration.
In a musical landscape dominated by polished narratives, Al Ehtifal Project stands as a form of unapologetic authenticity. We learn together through a continuous exploration of experimental sounds and a stubborn dismissal of established norms. The project has a flexible body of musicians. The core members are based in Bucharest, Romania.
