Syrian-Iranian musical collaborations, music from Algeria and Columbia

Today we hear a wonderful and rare collaboration between two Syrian musicians and two Iranian musicians; a live recording from the Freer Sackler Smithsonian Asian Art Museum's concert series. This quartet is comprised of Saeid Shanbehzadeh who plays the Iranian bagpipe from Southwestern Iran, his son Naghib Shanbehzadeh on percussion, Syrians Basel Rajoub on Saxophone and Kenan Adnawi on Oud. Saeid and Basel met at a World Music festival in Shanghai and were interested in each other's music, they met again by chance on a street in Paris where Basel Rajoub was rehearsing with a group and after listening for 10 minutes, Saeid started up his bagpipe and joined in. They do not share a common language except for music. The music is influenced by Jazz, folk music from Southwestern Iran and classical Syrian Arabic music. We will also hear some older releases from Algeria and some Vallenato music from Colombia, the folk music from Northeastern Colombia treasured by the great novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez who died last week.
