The Cultural Frontline: Music Without Borders

BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, The Cultural Frontline: Music Without Borders

Three musicians forced to leave their home come together to tell their story in song.

Three talented young musicians forced to leave their home countries come together to tell their collective story for a Cultural Frontline special.

Music is a language without borders but what does it mean to those who’ve had to cross borders to survive? Rihab Azar, a classical oud player from Syria, Yasmin Kadi, an Afrobeat singer from Sierra Leone, and Tabrae, an underground hip-hop artist from Iran, are three talented, young musicians forced to leave their home countries.  

With some help from award winning music producer Chad Hobson, the three come together for a Cultural Frontline special, not only to share their experiences, but to write an original piece of music to tell their collective story.

Presenter: Tina Daheley
Producer: Ben Davis
