Church of the Ecstatic 2/24/21 – From Mesopotamia with Love
Been hearing some rad Middle-Eastern music, and wanted to dig into some CDs I have – everything from traditional melodies, to world-jazz-fusion. Focusing tonight on music from the ‘land between the rivers,’ and surrounding areas. Ancient and modern sounds, connections through time and space. And lots and lots of Oud.
