?The Iqrit Files? is a CD featuring the electronica collective Checkpoint303 and singers who grew up in the village of Iqrit in Galilee, but who were forced to flee and abandon their homes. The singers Jawaher Shofani, Wardeh Sbeit and Jihad Sbeit describe what occurred when Israeli soldiers arrived in 1948, making them all homeless and destroying their village. The recordings have been made in these ruins, and the Checkpoint303 collective has framed the voices in a soundscape of electronics, oud, piano and recorded utterances from the political stage.
