Palestinian nay and percussion

Available for 26 days

Lopa Kothari presents a special solo session with Palestinian nay virtuoso Faris Ishaq, whose new album Jasad explores the sonic possibilities of this ancient Middle Eastern flute. Accompanied by a leg-mounted frame drum and percussion, Faris's approach to his main instrument makes use of extended techniques, creating percussive sounds, multi-phonics and ethereal melodies that serve the central theme of his practice: the dialogue between breath, body and environment. Produced by Silvia Malnati. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Planet'.
