Palestinian and Jordanian songwriter and producer, Tareq Abu Kwaik - known by the stage name El Far3i 鈥� may be most famous as a rapper yet it is his acoustic song, Tghayarti (You鈥檝e Changed) which has gained over 17 million views on his YouTube channel.

The multi-instrumentalist continues to fuse Arab acoustic folk with hip hop and electronica - a genre he has coined 鈥淓l Far3i Flux鈥� 鈥� but what exactly is that?

Reporter Miriam Walker-Khan finds out, as she trails the creation of a new studio album, Nas Min Khashab (Wooden People). It is the final instalment in El Far3i鈥檚 鈥榳ooden鈥� trilogy and an album he plans to launch on social media, one track at a time.

Miriam also discovers how Tareq finds inspiration living in the UK, many miles from the high mountains of Palestine and Jordan, and why love, land and self-destiny define this trilogy.
