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 , often in all 3 languages, from Lebanon and the Arab world.
THIS WEEK (Season 2 Episode 6): This episode includes my exclusive interview with Mazen Hajjar, owner of the Lebanese Brewery "961 Beer." The interview was conducted in English in Lebanon during the summer 2011.
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.
Dr. Salti's Blog 'Pop Culture in the Arab World' can be found at http://author32.blogspot.com
