Les Arrivants is Abdul-Wahab Kayyali on Oud, Amichai Ben Shalev on Bandoneon, and Hamin Honari on Percussion (Tombak, Daf, Frame Drums). These three men each migrated from a different parts of the world, to Montreal Canada, where they met and make music. Their new record is Towards the Light.
Baruch talks with Abdul and Ben about the record, the inspiration of being migrants, why people move, how duress can force people to leave their homeland, and how the making of this music embodies a process that can be healing in the context of being a person in transition, without a home, needing refuge.
Hamin Honari was not able to join us but he was a guest on Paradigms on June 23, 2024.
