Polaris prize winner Jeremy Dutcher, Hailu Mergia, Shahram Nazeri, Rachid Taha, IMOO fest, Beethoven
Extremely pleased that this year's Polaris prize winner is such a deserving album, the fantastic debut release from Jeremy Dutcher, "Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa" which melds his resurrection of old Wolastoqiyik songs recorded in the early 1900s with contemporary and experimental music. It's a superb, hauntingly beautiful and unique album.
We will hear the great Shahram Nazeri who will actually be in Ottawa on October 13th! For me, Shahram Nazeri is part of the trinity of great Sufi singers along with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Yasin Al-Tuhami. Appearing in Ottawa with his son Hafez Nazeri in a continuation of Hafez Nazeri's Rumi Symphony project. An extremely rare treat, not to be missed!

We will also hear an earlier recording from Ethiopian Hailu Mergia Rachid Taha, and perhaps some more Beethoven.
