Descriere
As the U.S. invaded Iraq in the spring of 2003, an American couple stormed the country by singing popular Arabic music in the streets of Baghdad. What was it like for them armed only with their singing voices and an Oud, an ancient Arabic lute?
Notă biografică
Cameron graduated with BA in Anthropology and Linguistics, University of Colorado, Boulder, with an emphasis on the study of Quechua, the language of the Incas. Cameron also received a fellowship to attend a two-month intensive immersion program in the Inca language at Cornell University. Cameron also received a scholarship to work on a Doctoral program in Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. He continued to study the Inca language and began studies of the Tibetan language. The warmth of his musically-oriented "extended family" in Peru served to draw him away from an academic career toward a performing musical career. It was there in Peru that he began to realize the value of being a musician as well as a linguist.
