An album by BETHLEHEM Released 2026-10-16 SUBSCRIBE TO CONSTELLATION https://mirlo.space/constellation/support In December 2023, as the genocide in Gaza unfolded, the Greek Orthodox Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem cancelled all Christmas festivities. Commissioned by Bethlehem-based arts centre The Wonder Cabinet and Radio alHara in response to that moment, BETHLEHEM brings together Beirut musicians Sary Moussa and Abed Kobeissy with Lawrence Sammour, director of the Church of the Nativity choir since 1970. Built around Sammour's voice and traditional liturgical hymns from the Greek Orthodox tradition sung in Arabic, BETHLEHEM unfolds through buzuq, electronics and drone. Recordings spanning 2023-2025 were integrated and mixed by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh at Montréal's Hotel2Tango.
