Khalas - Music of the Revolution - Monday 6-8:30PM SLT

It's a time of historic change in the Arab world, with pro-democracy uprisings in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and beyond. Tonight, Monday Night World Music turns our ears toward that turbulent part of the world, with a celebratory musical adventure into music of North Africa and all over the Middle East.

Tonight's set will feature brand new music inspired by - and inspiring to - the protesters themselves, the people out in the streets fighting for change. Tonight's set includes selections from Khalas Mix Tape Vol. 1, a collection of revolutionary hip-hop released on the Internet last month and featuring the likes of El General (Tunisia), Lofti Double Kanon (Algeria), and Ramy Donjewan (Egypt). Also featured - a revolution-inspired remix by Natacha Atlas, a protest song by Tunisian rapper Balti, and more.

In addition to these recent political songs, we'll be delving into Monday Night World Music's diverse collection of North African, Arabic, Israeli, Turkish, and Persian music as well.

So hop on your magic carpet and come join us for this musical trip to the Middle East, tonight from 6-8:30PM SLT. You can join Carter in Second Life at Madhu's Cafe Indien. Or, listen in on thap gump's main stream. Hope to see you there!Source URL: http://idontwanttobeanythingotherthanme.blogspot.com/search/label/Middle%20East

From the Library: Music of the Middle East

Today's program includes music that ranges from Morocco to Pakistan, ancient to modern, spare rhythms to ornate vocalization. The mix tends heaviest to Persian and to traditional music, but pop musicians will make occasional appearances, as well as Israeli, Egyptian, and Turkish musicians. The program also includes musicians who are not from the Middle East but whose music is inspired by the traditions of the region.

From the Library is produced by Radio Riel in conjunction with the Alexandrian Free Library Consortium of Second Life. You can listen to the program now in-world at http://music.radioriel.org, or click one of the buttons below. Today's program is presented by Otenth Paderborn.
