Description: This tri-lingual greeting is the way most people say hello in Lebanon where Arabic, French and English are spoken daily. This show will thus showcase music in all 3 languages.
THIS WEEK (Episode 6): In addition to the usual music melange and commentary, we spotlight two new albums from the Arab Arab world: Tania saleh'a 'Wehde' and Omar Offendum's 'SyrianamericanA.'
The program premiered on March 1, 2011 and is hosted by Dr. Ramzi Salti of the African and Middle Eastern (AME) Languages and Literatures Program at Stanford University.
