Ghazi Al-Mulafi and Arturo O’Farrill are founders of Boom.Diwan.  This is more than a band, it’s a testament to the ability of humans to experience connection and joining through music. The new record is Live in the Khaleej! It is an excursion into a transcultural space of beauty and energy.

Ghazi and Arturo talk with Baruch about the inspirations for this music. Ghazi talks about his grandfather who was a Ship Master and a Pearl Diver in Kuwait, and the music that was part of that life, and his own experience diving.
