This week we return to the mesmerizing music of the Middle East. Steeped in centuries of history and tradition, rich in character and spiritual intensity, it often comes from a generation of artists who've escaped the repressive regimes of their homeland. Today they thrive in exile and address a worldwide audience, thanks to contemporary media platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the modal scales, sinuous melodies, and hypnotic rhythms of the Middle East, on a program called TIMELESS RAPTURE. Music is by OPIUM MOON, STELLAMARA, ANOUAR BRAHEM, YUVAL RON, FANAR, and singers NAI BARGHOUTI and EMEL MATHLOUTHI.
