The Sound of Home - a radio documentary
www.audioboom.com/posts/6267263-the-sound-of-home
As over 22 million people globally, are forced to seek asylum and to leave their country of origin and cross an international border, the world is facing its biggest displacement crisis since before the 2nd World War.
In this programme, Kay Goodridge, artist and Nick Skelton, producer of Clubglobal world music programme, have spoken to refugees from Syria and Iraq, about how music has interwoven with various parts of their lives, before, during and after their displacement.
In The Sound of Home, we ask them about their journeys from their homeland, about their lives now, what keeps their hopes up,and what can transport them back home in their minds. Sometimes they talk of a memory, sometimes a photograph, and sometimes the music on their mobile phones that has accompanied them throughout their lives.
They talk about the circumstances that forced them to leave their countries and families behind, about their attempts to fight against oppressive regimes, how they had to run with their children and about the times they spent in refugee camps and makeshift shelters on the way.
Sometimes happiness surfaces in unexpected circumstances as they speak openly from the heart. Their generosity of spirit comes through and guides the listener through their musical journeys.
