Musik und Zensur im Libanon

Musik und Zensur im Libanon

By Simon Grab on September 3, 2009

By Simon Grab and Thomas Burkhalter (Norient) on 3 September 2009 in  AUDIO

In der zeitgenössischen Musik der arabischen Welt werden «Authentizität», «Herkunft» und «Lokalität» nicht nur durch Instrumente und Klangfolgen evoziert – es gesellen sich Geräusche und akustische Erinnerungen hinzu.

Danke, dass ich den Krieg noch einmal hören darf

Danke, dass ich den Krieg noch einmal hören darf

By Thomas Burkhalter (Norient) on July 31, 2006

By Thomas Burkhalter (Norient) on 31 July 2006 in  STORIES

Beirut hat die lebendigste Musikszene im Nahen Osten. Ihre Lieder erzählen von Bürgerkriegserfahrungen und von der Sehnsucht nach Frieden. Nun liegt das Land in Trümmern. Wie reagieren libanesische Künstler auf die Rückkehr des Krieges?
