This musical odyssey uncovers the hidden -- and almost erased -- story of Iraqi music. After escaping from Saddam’s regime, Majid Shokor searches for the source of the songs he loved hearing in Baghdad’s bustling streets and crowded coffeehouses. The Ba’ath Party purged Iraqi music of its origins, but Majid learns the truth, as he travels the world to meet exiled musicians who still sing and play these songs. They are reunited in a joyful concert at London’s Barbican Centre, where music and culture are bridges that transcend religion and politics.
