Middle East
To the sound of traditional percussion, oud, nay and doudouk, the Middle East playlist describes a musical landscape conducive to geopolitical subjects and cultural reports devoted to this region of the globe. Mysterious, panoramic or more disturbing, the titles in this selection evoke the heat of the desert, Arab heritage and current issues with subtlety.
