Sublime radio transmissions, field recordings, records & tapes from some of the least known corners of the Arab world, including excerpts from Mark Gergis’ mesmerizing audio expose I Remember Syria (ca. 1998) and Alan Bishop’s head-spinning radio montage Radio Palestine: Sounds of the Eastern Mediterranean (ca. 1985), both on the Sublime Frequencies record label, and much more. Intrepid listeners can expect everything from Syrian dabke, Jordanian reverb guitar, and Arabic pop music from Beirut to the traditional Nubian sounds of southern Egypt.
