Manazil from Nawa by Layth Sidiq
Manazil means “homes”—not just the physical ones I’ve lived in, but the musical homes found within each Maqam. Set in Maqam Bayyati and Iqa’a Shaftatalli, the Taqasim (structured improvisation) explores each note of Bayyati as a modulating center, creating a journey through these musical spaces.
