#593 — Middle Eastern electric, oud meets jazz, Afrobeat

Listen back to recent programs

Program 593
Didon - A Tunisian Tale
Broadcast

More new Turkish psychedelia and exotic electric sounds... I'll be joining the dots between the Tunisian-American duo Didon and the group Niyaz with Azam Ali.  There are two Tunisian-born oud players working under jazz influence, and both make delicious music. Have you ever heard Afrobeat made in Sweden?
