Music of West Africa & Palestine
Sandy’s book, Children of the Stone, followed the dream of Palestinian musician Ramzi Aburedwan to build a music school in the occupied West Bank. Four years after the book’s release, Ramzi is coming back to California with his French-Arabic Dalouna Ensemble for two California concerts. Their second concert will be in Los Angeles on September 15 at Zebulon. Sandy will introduce Ramzi and do a reading from the book. Click here to learn more about the event.
