A Tribute to Lebanese Music
For years, Lebanese indie/alternative musicians have broached themes of socio-economic injustice, corruption, and politics in their work. Dr. Ramzi Salti shares an episode of his Arabology radio show, which explores how this genre of music offers a crucial window onto recent events in Lebanon, which is being rocked by one of the most violent tragedies in recent memory. By showcasing some of Beirut's most talented indie/alternative musicians, this program reminds us of the role that music can play in helping us to heal and rebuild the country.
