Discostan x Stefan Williamson Fa

Los Angeles, 16.12.20

Al-Andalus, the site of dreams, conflict, and confluence from the world over, for centuries past and into the future. From Lorca in Farsi and Khayyam in Andaluz, to the odes of Sufi "Hispano-Pakistani" Aziz Balouch, Azerbaijani ‘Spanish guitar’ and ‘flamenco sitar’, this mix traces musical connections, fantasies and imaginaries of Al-Andalus from Sevilla to Turpan.

Stefan Williamson Fa is an anthropologist and music producer from Gibraltar. His research and works focus on religion, music, and everyday forms of sonic expression in the Caucasus, Anatolia, and the Mediterranean. Stefan is a co-founder of Mountains of Tongues, a project which aims to promote musical diversity in the Caucasus.
