salaam aleikum
tonight's broadcast is dedicated to the music from the orient - a musical journey from morocco to afghanistan...
in media and press we are confronted everyday with a lot of negative news about the muslim culture: bombs, burkas, minarets are some words of irritation and provocation which divide the western society... why? bombs have nothing to do with real islam culture, only unbelieving criminals use them, a minaret is just the same as a churchtower...
so let us take a closer look to the rich and beautiful middle eastern music scene, there's much more then just rai and bellydance...
as a red line leading through this night, and as examples of the polarisation between politics and culture, i will present some podcasts (in german language...) about the 'other' oriental music scene by thomas burkhalter and simon grab for norient (infos about see below...)

Norient – Independent Network for Local and Global Soundscapes - focuses on experimental and urban music and music scenes all over the world. As an international platform it aims to understand and show the many and often contradictory faces of cultural globalization and localization through articles about music, urbanism and politics...

Norient was founded by Thomas Burkhalter, an ethnomusicologist and cultural journalist from Bern (Switzerland). He has written on the music and cultural scenes of cities like Beirut, Istanbul, Cairo, Duschanbe, Belgrade, Johannesburg, and Mumbai for Swiss and international media. see: www.norient.com
podcasts für zentrum paul klee. by norient.com (thomas burkhalter, simon grab, 2009) Die Sound-Stationen des Online-Netzwerkes norient bieten kontrastreiche Höreindrücke in den «Orient». In Algerien diskutieren Cheb Khaled, Cheb Mami und Cheikha Remitti, ob sie nun Marionetten ihrer Produzenten sind – oder doch mehr? Death Metal Musiker aus Beirut erzählen, wie sie als Satanisten gebrandmarkt und zensuriert wurden. Ein Betreiber eines iranischen Labels weiß, wie er Frauenstimmen trotz Verbot auf seinen CDs veröffentlichen kann. Und das türkische Label Kalan Müzik mausert sich mit CDs von Kurden, Armeniern, Juden und Roma immer mehr zum internationalen Geheimtipp. Ein Sound-Gewitter entführt den Ausstellungsbesucher in die Welt der Propaganda-Musik des libanesischen Bürgerkriegs. Auf einer Hörstation spielt der psychedelische arabische Rock der 1970er Jahre. Und auch das Orientalische Klavier, gebaut von einem Libanesen, fehlt nicht. Soundkünstler und Musiker aus der arabischen Welt definieren «Lokalität» und «Örtlichkeit» schon lange nicht mehr nur über «Arabische Musik». Die Hör-Features wurden produziert von Thomas Burkhalter und Simon Grab. Es sprechen: Christina Caprez, Eric Facon, Cecile Olshausen, Raphael Zehnder, Annelis Berger, Stephan Mester, Kjell Keller und Thomas Burkhalter. Ein großer Dank geht an Schweizer Radio DRS 2.
