Terez Sliman

The independent Palestinian singer and musician’s creativity lies in the space between words and music, and her poetic lyrics move between the personal and the public. She is a strong advocate for women's rights. 

Terez Sliman’s musical repertoire is based on unique life experiences interpreted through music with great vulnerability, sensitivity and innovation, which soon made her a household name on the independent music scene in Palestine and the Arabic world. With a handful of concerts on the old continent, Terez has also won over the hearts of European audiences. 

She has released a number of singles and music videos, and has appeared in theatre and musical shows. A landmark in her work is the 2020 album, When The Waves, whose collaborators include Palestinian musician Raymond Haddad and Norwegian music legends, guitarist Eivind Aarset and drummer Helge Andreas Norbakken. 

In times of adversity and the sustained horror-ridden warfare in Palestine, the voice of Terez Sliman, who has chosen to stay in her native land, is a plea for peace and hope for a better future.
