THE ARAB AVANT-GARDE



Taking our cues from four recent reads -- Hisham D Aidi's Rebel Music; Sunaina Maira's Jil Oslo: Palestinian Hip Hop; Daniel J. Gilman's Cairo Pop; and Burkhalter, Dickinson & Harbert's The Arab Avant-Garde -- Bodega Pop Live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio spun 3 hours of ridiculously awesome cutting edge cuts from north Africa to the middle east. 

Thrill to the latest in oriental glam, Egyptronica, spectral microtonalities, musiqa mu'asira, extreme metal, hyperpoliticized polylinguistic hip-hop, electro chaabi and more.
