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.
