About this listen
There are places where music is life-threatening. And that is exactly where it becomes vital for survival.
Aeham Ahmad became known to the world as the “The Pianist of Yarmouk” when he pushed his piano into the ruins of the Syrian streets. In this episode, he tells his story. Unfiltered and deeply personal. Aeham takes us back to the political climate of Damascus and shares his motivation to play despite the imminent danger. A reflection on the concrete role art plays in political resistance today.
This episode serves as the emotional companion to the article “Gasping for Air, Dancing for Freedom” by Aida Baghernejad in the current issue of CHART Magazine.
