ABOUT
About Us

Maqam is an arts, music, and cultural event management company that was set up in 2012 with a simple goal – to create and get involved with high-quality culture and non-mainstream events. As simple as that.

Maqam aims to enrich culture and music in the Middle East scene as well as supporting and developing local music talents from Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt mainly. Why? The answer is simple again. We have great talents who are not having proper chances to excel and to be creative with our connections with various cultural networks and hubs in Europe and the Middle East.

The company was set up by two young professionals with backgrounds in the field of music and culture. The company founders have had many years of experience in event creation, management, and production including festivals, performing arts, theatre, corporate events, product launches, and community projects. This experience gives a fresh and unique perspective in the development and management of events.

Our Mission

The mission of Maqam is to give local musical talents the opportunity to express themselves and their music through various channels, including live performances, music competitions, album recording, and more. We also aim to introduce a new generation of Arabs to unique cultural experiences. With a little nourishment and guidance, these talents can blossom into leading musicians on the regional and international stages.

Our Services

We provide full-service capabilities to manage and produce high-quality cultural events for corporations, associations, and organizations, to provide destination management services, to promote Arab heritage and culture worldwide, and to create opportunities for musical talents to showcase their music.

Our services range from communications, event planning and management, artist management and booking, and music distribution and promotion in addition to the Label Maqam, which takes care of many artists' CDs and digital content amid the growing data and content piracy.

Main Project Productions

Maqam was awarded in June 2013, The Project “One Woman-The Arabic Version:” a project by United Nations Women. The Project consists of the production of a song and a documentary involving 25 well-known artists from the Arab region to promote global women's rights and women's empowerment.

“Jowwa al Ahlam” The Muppet Show by Macadi Nahhas

Macadi Nahhas, a prolific Jordanian Folk and Jazz singer, produced in 2010 a family album where many Arab virtues and messages were presented to kids through an interactive colorful album. The album received excellent reviews and critics, and a theatrical play was made by Maqam which was transformed into a Muppet show. The show was sponsored by Jordanian Telecom Mogul Zain for three shows which will be presented at the end of August 2013 in front of thousands of kids in three different malls in Amman. The Show will roam the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to underprivileged villages and will involve rural and other municipalities.

Production of Macadi Nahhas Album 2014

NOUR (Macadi Nahhas's new record) is a subtle mix of styles ranging from Classical Oriental to jazz, passing by Latin styles like Bossa Nova and Tango. The mix will, however, rely heavily on Arabic maqamat and melodic structures. Rhythmically the palette is wide, but what is important to producer company Maqam is not to lose the feel that defines us as a region.

With Macadi's beautiful, rich, and melodic control and imagination combined with Maqam’s vision and approach; an enchanting experience promising a new fresh sound for the acclaimed singer is on the horizon. Macadi’s fifth album will embark on a new era in her career where she composes and even arranges most of the songs in the album. Stay tuned for an enchanting and exhilarating album which will redefine Macadi again on the artistic and cultural scene in the Arab scene and internationally too.
