| Summary |
Travelling to the Mecca of Arabic music. Amid a decadent cosmopolitan air, pop stars who reach stardom overnight, jazz and contemporary music which walk on Islam's tightrope, Leonidas Antonopoulos meets with artists who struggle to express themselves under the bizarre conditions of contemporary confusion. He reports on what is left of the great Arab voices of the past, like Oum Kalsoum and Hafez, he attends religious celebrations and discovers young musicians who are creating their own musical scene. |
