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.
In addition to the usual music melange, this episode includes an interview with Joshua Asen, Co-Directoir of the film "I Love Hip Hop in Morocco," and audio readings from "Fetish Systems," an new book by Lebanese author Raafat Majzoub.
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.
