Greetings Tarik and Julia, I'm playing your song "Chairoscuro" on The World Beat, as I write. Wishing you two all the best, = Mark, host of The World Beat
The concert at Reed College was magical. My 10-year old son was mesmerized and now wants to take up the oud! Thank you for taking us on such an uplifting and inspiring musical journey. I look forward to seeing you all again when you return to Portland. Peace & Blessings, Eric Walter
