Mazen Kerbaj, Ami Dang, Houeida Hedfi, LI YILEI, and Friends || Guitar and Other Machines || 9/11/22

DJ Steena brings you a weekly one hour show The Guitar and Other Machines to leverage the freeform format of noncommercial radio to get the music created by underrepresented & lesser known artists into unsuspecting ears.

This week we revisit Ami Dang's 2020 release and then venture into some wider explorations of analog and electronic machines including harps with a heavy focus on experimental Arabic instrumentation.
