Watch the new video interviews on www.freemuse.org
During the 'Images of the Middle East' festival in Denmark in August-September 2006, Freemuse recorded video interviews with...
• Turkish-Kurdish folk singer Sivan Perwer
• Palestinian-Israeli singer Kamilya Jubran
• Lebanese Death Metal band Oath to Vanquish
• Lebanese-French rapper and composer Clotaire K
• Also, the American author and historian Mark LeVine who attended a conference about freedom of speech during the festival had interesting comments to make about Heavy Metal and Islam and Globalisation in the Middle East
• In Lebanon, we interviewed the censored 24-year-old producer of Dark Ambient, Xardas
• The question of music prohibition in Islam receives renewed attention in Somalia and Pakistan. Watch this interview with the Pakistani musician who discussed the issue with clerics in Pakistan already in 2004, Salman Ahmad
Note
The interviews are recorded in a new film format – and we would very much like to hear your comments, also technically: how did you experience the video clips on your computer screen? Send us your comments |
