"I can't imagine a better way to explore the richness of Turkish culture than through its music. A guided music tour led by World Music expert Dore Stein would be unforgettable. Dore opens doors that music-lovers who travel on their own don't even know are there."

Music Feature: Gaza Corner
(11p during Tangents followed by the Mystery Artist)

Features a song by a Palestinian artist or music connected to Palestine in order to help focus attention on relieving the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Gaza Corner will continue until the blockade is completely lifted.


The Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai reports that Israel is preparing to strike Hezbollah targets in Syria. The Al Rai report said that the situation on the Israel-Syria border is tense and that Syria could respond immediately to any Israeli attack and not demonstrate the restraint that it did after the Israeli Air Force bombed a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria in the fall of 2007.

A handful of former Israeli servicewomen have spoken out about their military experiences, a move that has brought accusations of betrayal and disloyalty.

Inbar Michelzon "I left the army with a ticking bomb in my belly. I felt I saw the backyard of Israel. I saw something that people don't speak about. It's almost like I know a dirty secret of a nation and I need to speak out."

Dana Golan:"It occurred to me that sometimes we're doing things that just create victims. To be a good occupier, we have to create conflict."

ICRC Report on Gaza Closure 6/14/10
Conclusion: "The hardship faced by Gaza's 1.5 million people cannot be addressed by providing humanitarian aid. The only sustainable solution is to lift the closure."

Tangents Morocco Tour

Next Tour 2011
Morocco: where music happens.


"A tour with Dore Stein is a most amazing voyage. Dore brings love and knowledge of diverse musical sources to his tour. He loves to dive into the local scene and creates opportunities to hear music you would not otherwise experience. I have haunting memories of Gnawa musicians performing in a restaurant in Essaouira that was closed for the evening, and surreal memories of Berber musicians performing at a desert camp in the Sahara for New Year's Eve.
