Who would have thought that mixing roles, letting musicians wear the clothes of journalists, would have been so stimulating…
In view of their upcoming double-bill show (at Rich Mix London on Friday 23rd November), organized by Arts Canteen and part of the 2018 edition of the EFG London Jazz Festival, we had the pleasure to host Amira Kheir and Yara Lapidus (who reached us over the phone from Paris) at the SOAS Radio studio.
We were meant to have a conventional chat with the artists about their music, influences and career, but then we thought, why don’t we let them do our job and interview each other? The outcome is an interesting and expansive conversation between two engaging persons even before being talented musicians.
Tracks played:
Amira Kheir – Amwaj (Waves) [from Mystic Dance; Sterns Music]
Yara Lapidus – Depuis Toi [from Indéfiniment; Yara Music]
Amira Kheir – Sameeri (Kindred Spirit) [from Mystic Dance; Sterns Music]
