 WORLD ROUTES Presented by Moshe Morad Produced by James Parkin Tel. 020 7765 4661 Fax. 020 7765 4378 e-mail world.routes@bbc.co.uk World Routes in Israel In its 9th year, the Jerusalem International Oud Festival brings together a variety of musical traditions from the Jewish and Arabic landscapes of the Middle East - many centred around the ancient Arabic lute, the oud. Its concerts are a wonderful demonstration of how, in some cases, music transcends political and religious borders: Jews perform Arab music and Palestinians from East Jerusalem sit side-by-side with Sephardic Jews enjoying music dear to them both. Moshe Morad, the Israeli broadcaster and regular contributor to the series, broadcasts highlights from some of the sell-out concerts held at the Jerusalem Theatre, hosts exclusive acoustic sessions and a series of interviews with leading artists. Moshe also visits Nazareth to uncover the special Palestinian musical traditions that are unique to this part of the Galilee. He meets members of the Joubran musical dynasty, visits their oud factory, and meets the Nazareth Arabic orchestra. Programme 1 - Nazareth Saturday 20 December 2008, 3:00pm On the southern edge of the Galilean uplands, Nazareth is a city with a distinctively Arabic feel and this is reflected in its music. Presenter Moshe Morad talks to Nazereth-born artist, Dalal Abu Amana, who performs her songs in a special Palestinian dialect unique to Galilee, and he presents highlights of her concert from the 2008 Jerusalem Oud Festival. Delving further into the special Palestinian musical traditions that are unique to this part of Galilee, Moshe meets with members of the Joubran musical dynasty, visits their oud factory, and meets the Nazareth Arabic orchestra.

Plus Moshe introduces a session by the Cretan lyra virtuoso Ross Daly, joined by Israeli percussionist Zohar Fresco and the Turkish doyen of oud players, Yurdal Tokcan.

Director, Effie Benaya, describes the festival’s outreach programme and some of the steps taken to make the festival accessible to audiences of the poorer Arabs of East Jerusalem such as laying on buses to encourage them to come to the concerts. Meanwhile, Dalal explains some of the difficulties faced by Arab performers with Israeli passports. The programme also features a session recorded with the Yonah Ensemble, a group who dub their music as "Jewish Kawali". View the playlist and listen again to programme 4 |
