IRAQI MUSIC IN A TIME OF WAR: RAHIM ALHAJ LIVE IN CONCERT, NEW YORK, APRIL 5, 2003

RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2003

A live concert by exiled Iraqi oud virtuoso Rahim AlHaj, who speaks about and performs his music at the moment when bombs were dropping over his family’s city, Baghdad, and the American-led invasion and planned occupation of Iraq was so largely uncontested. The CD is a remarkable testimony to how music can advocate for peace andcompassion in a time of war.
