Moroccan Berber music with Rayssa Fatima Tabaamrant; music from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Mohammed Fairouz and more
Rayssa Fatima Tabaamrant is a Berber from the High Atlas who has gained acclaim in Morocco as the first woman to lead a Rwais troupe. Rwais are traditionally intinerant professional singers who travel from town to town and have become quite popular in Morocco. She writes all the poetry she sings and her low and powerful voice is focused more on emotional declamation than beauty. We hear some pieces from a concert recording.
We also hear some music from Bosnia-Herzegovina which is rooted in the urban Sevdalinka tradition, music from Azerbaijan with the Kronos Quartet and from traditional groups, and music from talented young American composer Mohammed Fairouz who blends Arabic music with contemporary classical forms and American traditions.

Mohammed Fairouz... Nice piece. His latest, "Follow, Poet" (now in pre-release) I think is quite strong also. It is a mix of spoken word, poetry, operatic, symphonic. Will likely play a good bit of it this Sunday on This Island Earth. (And, we'll convert that cynical Rob B too ;^)
