Thread: CNN story on traditional music

There's a lot of overlap between the video and the text of the story, but if you have time, the video is worth watching.

And how music is a language but deeper than any other language because you don't need to learn music to understand music.

Naseer Shamma is amazing!

And here´s the first in a playlist of a concert @Södra Teatern;very happy that he has been invited here(Sweden)to hold concerts by the organisation Re:Orient.This is from "The Oud Festival"held in 2010:-)
