Thursday October 16th, 2025 with David Dalle
Guests, radio host, music producer and promoter Daniel Rosenberg, and Iraqi-Canadian artist Ahmed Moneka, join me today.

This week, the Folk Canada's Folk Music Ontario conference is taking place in Ottawa with many artist showcases. Cafe International host, music producer and promoter Daniel Rosenberg is in town attending, and he joins me live in studio today. I am also joined by Ahmed Moneka, who grew up in Baghdad in a cultural milieu rich in theatre, film, and music. He practices in all these fields as a multidisciplinary artist and is based in Toronto now. He will be performing two showcases at the conference Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. https://www.folkcanada.com/2025-showcase-artists

WOW! WOW! WOW! I was not able to listen live, but listened 'on demand' and I am so happy I did. Music that showed the universality of suffering, but also the universality of the beauty that also exists. I love when your program makes me cry!
