À propos de ce contenu audio

In the summer of 1982, as Beirut was under bombardment, Ed Pearl broadcast a remarkable episode of Up From the Ash Grove devoted to Palestinian music and poetry.

This wasn’t a news bulletin. It was something quieter — and, in its own way, more powerful. Through wedding field recordings, work songs, fisherman ballads from Jaffa, and the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish set to music, the program explored how a people carry their homeland in sound.

From the stomp of the dabke to the mournful cry of the rebab, from vineyard harvest songs to anthems of return, this episode traces how everyday music becomes memory, identity, and endurance under siege.

Echoes from the Ash Grove revisits that broadcast and asks: when land is contested and borders shift, can song become a place you still belong?
