    Real neat video. it came up in my feed the other day and I was hoping it would surface again so I could watch it. Thanks!

    Super interesting when he got into stuff like vocal differences between Iranian and Arabic singing or examples of middle-eastern modes. Hopefully I can find more actual music from across the middle east to learn and experience its breadth.

    Also it was really cool for me personally, as I've spent a lot of time listening to folk music across the region from like Kazakhstan to the Balkans on the north side of the Black Sea, to hear the examples of traditional music from Anatolia or Northern Iran and sort of have a gestalt moment where I could start to see how it all fit together in a sonic geography.
