Reminiscences of 15 musicians in Beirut attempting a re-imagination of the Egyptian classic Ya Garat Al Wadi
Ya Garat Al Wadi is a popular piece of Egyptian music arranged by the legendary composer Mohammad Abdel Wahab and written by the poet Ahmad Shawqy in 1928. More than 90 years later, this film documents a contemporary orchestra of 15 musicians, formed by the initiative of the experimental composer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart), over the period of five days in Beirut to once again reinterpret this great classic of Arab music.
