Another winning turn in excavation and restoration from Honest Jon’s with this compilation chronicling some of the very first recording sessions from the “countries of Damascus” (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine). The historical relevance of these early cultural exports is heightened by current events. Performances from revered singer B?lus ?ulb?n, lute player and musical director Q?sim Ab? Jam?l al-Durz? and some relatives of the founders of Lebanon label Baidaphon Records which was founded at the turn of the 1900s. A bulk of these recordings come from an era where public music performance - let alone recording - was frowned upon. These early incarnations of creative freedom are truly fascinating.
