STARS FROM ANOTHER SKY | Parts 1 and 2

Since 1997 I've been collecting Arabic music from bodegas and mom & pop media shops in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Boston, Montreal, Paris, and Marrakesh.

This week I'll be playing some of my favorite tracks from the Arab world over two 3-hour shows on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio. :

Part 1: TONIGHT, Wednesday July 26, 7-10 PM EDT

Part 2: Friday July 28, 9 AM-noon EDT

Hope to see you at one or the other ... or both!
