Join us for Episode 3 as we travel through the sounds of Iraq. This episode felt both exciting and important, serving as an opportunity to educate ourselves on a country that has had to fight hard to get its musical voice heard and preserved against a backdrop of war and oppressive regimes. From Oud origins to contemporary hip-hop artists, flamenco fusions to wedding queens, this country has served up quite the sonic pick & mix.
