Majdi and Seraj Aljelda
We are Majdi and Seraj Aljelda, musicians from Gaza City, Palestine. We started learning music when we were children (year 2000), at the Palestinian Music Institute. We started learning music theory and how to play music through piano. From 2003 onwards we participated in many concerts in Gaza and started to learn other instruments including guitar, accordion, oud, and percussion.
We were members with Edward Saeed National Conservatory of Music and participated with Orchestra of Gaza band, Eastern music band, and others bands through the conservatory. We were also with the Al Sununu for Culture and Arts association, as musicians for youth and adult choirs, as well as teachers for music therapy, oud, accordion, and percussion instruments.
