Community arts recordings - Nizar Tabcharani and Nikczar Aguirre

This is the first in a series of 10 community arts recordings that I will be working on. These recordings aim to show the under-reported fabric of the arts within communities which are shaped by narratives and experiences which are under represented in mainstream political, cultural and economic spaces. I recorded the material you will hear on this first broadcast in Montreal. First you will hear Nizar Tabcharani playing Qanun at home and discussing the culture of the instrument. Nizar also speaks about the cultural landscape of Montreal that influences his current playing. Also you will hear a couple of songs and also the words of Nikczar Aguirre. Nikczar, who is a member of Migrante Canada and has worked with the Immigrant Workers Centre, sings in both English and Tagalog. Also you will hear some jamming / experimentation that I did with musician Amir Amiri, playing santur, while I played keyboard. Thank you for listening. Track listing 01.
