The Arab World Without Distortions

[From the Italian language press]:


Salento Negroamaro, rassegna delle culture migranti della Provincia di Lecce, prosegue il suo viaggio alla scoperta della civiltà arabo-islamica.

Mercoledì 4 luglio nel Fossato del Castello di Otranto con il concerto del cantautore algerino Idir ha preso il via la sezione dedicata alla musica, diretta da Nabil Ben Salameh e Michele Lobaccaro (Radiodervish), che ha l’intento di proporre al pubblico una prospettiva sul mondo arabo scevra da pregiudizi e distorsioni di immagine.

Lecce Prima - Lecce, Puglia, Italy - martedì 3 luglio 2007

Salento Negroamaro, review of the migratory cultures of the province of Lecce, continues its travel to the discovery of the Muslim-Arabic civilization.

Wednesdays July 4th in the Moat of the Castle of Otranto with the concert of the Algerian singer-songwrite Idir set off the section dedicated to music, directed from Nabil Ben Salameh and Michele Lobaccaro (Radiodervish), that has the attempt to propose to the public a perspective on the Arabic world free from prejudices and distortions of image.

The artistic directors mean to propose, through music, a look on the contemporary Arabic world, a travel between the sufi spiritual tradition and the 20th century Arabic cultural heritage, guided by Jallaludin Rumi (1207-1273) the mystical poet and philosopher, and Oum Khaltoum (1904-1975), the great -perhaps the greatest- Arab singer.

The program continues through Saturday July 21st with Orchestra di Nazareth a group which comprises musicians from the three Abrahamic faiths; Sunday July 22nd with Mercan Dede and Luigi Einaudi together on stage; and many more concerts until the last on Tuesday, September 18th: "Oriental suite" with Radiodervish in "Il verbo degli uccelli" (The verb/word of the birds) from the persian mystic Farid al-Din 'Attar.
