The oriental sound
In a context of political, demographic and technological upheaval, is it possible to present the music of the East in its irreducible multiplicity? Should we not rather speak of Arab music? If they still fascinate so much, it is because they are heirs to a thousand-year-old tradition, practiced by legendary musicians who renewed and reinterpreted them.
Specialists gathered in this book analyze the characteristics of this music and its evolution, from the end of the 19th century - when the first recordings came to us - to the present day, when efforts are being made to preserve voices threatened with extinction.
