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 gullar sahir's main stream. Hope to see you there!

Monday Night World Music - Middle Eastern Mix

Late last week I saw a show by the outstanding oud group Le Trio Joubran. The music of this trio of Palestinian brothers was mesmerizing, and I couldn't wait to play it for you. So, I decided, it isn't too soon for another Middle Eastern show at Monday Night World Music.

This evening's Monday Night World Music explores the sounds of the Middle East and beyond. We'll hear the music of Le Trio Joubran, plus an eclectic sampling of other sounds - chillout music from the clubs of Marrakesh and Cairo, driving pop from Lebanon and Israel, rock from Turkey and Algeria, Spanish-Arabic fusions, belly-dance music from Turkey and North Africa, lyrical vocals, and more.

Come hang out with Carter and enjoy the well-seasoned sounds tonight from 6-8:30PM SLT. You can join Carter in world at Madhu's Cafe Indien, or listen in on gullar sahir's main stream. Hope to see you there!
