in celebration and sorrow.

Black August is coming to an end, and we celebrate all that it has inspired in music, word and spirit.

 

August also marks a couple of notable anniversaries in Iranian history: the US-led coup of 1953 (15-19 Aug.) and the end of US-supported Iran-Iraq war in 1988 (20 Aug.) after nearly 8 years. We listen to music of joy, inspiration and comfort as we remember.

Ocean, Hanif, Simin and Forough with the words, and Naqsh Duo and Ixuol and more with the music.

Sending love to Jacob Blake and family.

Happy birthday Fred Hampton.
