Description
South African music journalist, DJ, and researcher Atiyyah Khan (El Corazon) digs out gems, past and present. The show is an extension of the music collective she co-founded in Cape Town called Future Nostalgia, which has hosted listening sessions for the past eight years.
Drawing inspiration from the 1960s composition 'Ramadan in Space Time' by Egyptian drummer Salah Ragab, this month's show pays tribute to Ramadan - the spiritual month of fasting - as it draws to an end. It is a sonic meditation made up of dhikr, handclaps, oud, Sufi rhythms, prayer, lamentation, remembrance, jazz, gnawa, desert blues, songs of praise and songs of resistance. This one’s dedicated to the Ummah. Artwork by Shukry Adams.
