Field recording captured at Souq Al Bashorah in Ramallah, Palestine, on 08 August 2025 at 8:12 PM. The atmosphere is lively, with the chatter of visitors, footsteps passing by, and a local female vendor calling out to promote her food stall. This bazaar is a temporary pop-up marketplace made up of many small stalls selling everything from street food to handmade goods.
Bazaars like this are deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and Palestinian culture, serving not just as a place of commerce, but also as social gatherings where communities connect. The air is filled with a mix of aromas—freshly cooked food, spices, and sweets—while sounds blend together into a rich, textured ambience.
