Fossilised Frequencies with Urban Feral

This Sunday’s show is a homage to the Kawliyah of Iraq. Kawliyah is used not only as a noun for a community, but also depicts an art form that has hugely shaped the music and dance culture of Iraq up until this day. Despite its massive contribution to the arts, there is still significant marginalisation of the people who have shared these specific sounds and dances throughout Iraq and thereafter, throughout the world. This hour invites you to honour their embodied sounds: the hair whipping, wrist turning, belly dancing and freedoms of movement that Kawliyah gifted us.
