July 31st Show

I featured a piece by the Beirut-based experimental musician Mazen Kerbaj, whose blog has been chronicling his experiences via drawings during the present bombing of the capital. Mazen was to attend a music festival in the US, but was prevented from leaving by the blockade and bombing of the international airport. The piece I featured, entitled Starry Night incorporated a recording of Israeli jets bombing the southern suburbs of Beirut on the first night of the war. A raw comment on the events through a medium that often gets ignored in mainstream media reports.
