Record Label

Maqām Records is dedicated to bringing both historical and contemporary maqam music to global audiences. The label focuses on creating high-quality recordings that document traditional maqam repertoire while creating innovative interpretations through new commissions and collaborations. Building on our foundation of releasing works by master practitioners like Hamid Al-Saadi and Amir ElSaffar, we are expanding to showcase emerging artists from Iraq and the broader Middle East, while supporting the publishing of new creative works coming from Maqām Productions, including new works from the artist Residency and Commissions programs. Maqām Records contributes to both preservation and innovation inspired by the tradition.
