In honor of Arab American Heritage Month, here are some diverse musical selections by Arab and Arab American musicians.
"Violinist and composer Layale Chaker's debut album 'Inner Rhyme' is woven as a suite that explores aesthetics of Arabic poetry. Composed between Beirut, Paris and London over the past two years and recorded in New York over the summer of 2018, the album unveils musical threads that are mapped through the rhythmical cycles of the twelve classical Arabic poetic meters, the fluidity of oral and free forms, the abstraction of language into the physical contour of verses and the percussive potential of words."--From composer's website.
