Arabic Music
1966. I was 21 and waiting to board a bus headed toward the only un-drownable lake on earth, the Dead Sea. When I got on, the Arab driver had the radio tuned to station 677 Jordanian Radio transmitting from Ramallah. A woman was singing this most beautiful song in Arabic. When I finally got off the bus two hours later, she was still singing the same song. It was during this bus ride that I came to love Arabic singing.
As an aside, when I tuned into 677 Jordanian radio during the 6 Day War I found that it stopped broadcasting.
For those who do not know, Arabic is a horrible language to hear spoken - but when sung - it is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. An analogy would be hearing Italian spoken by the Sopranos and then listening to La Boheme.
