Apple Podcasts5MedzieKUnited States6 years ago - Great resource for musicians and people interested in Middle Eastern music
As a professional musician I am always studying all facets of music, whether it be for a gig or personal creativity. As an Armenian who looks to integrate his own culture‘s sound into contemporary music, it can be very difficult to find resources to help with any needed research. I’m glad to have found this app to be my go to resource for what I need.

Apple Podcasts5sosihUnited States6 years ago - Tremendous vision and content
The podcasts are an informative, sincere, provocative, and passionate reflection of the taqs.im project as a whole. Even seasoned professionals and those very familiar with the middle eastern idiom are able to learn and be exposed to new perspectives and styles. I really enjoyed the interview with John and the witty reparte between these musical brothers. I demand an interview with Khatchig Jingirian. Well done guys, looking forward to more great content.
Apple Podcasts5Doc ShalaxoUnited States6 years ago - Outstanding Interview with John Berberian
Great interview with John Berberian. I’ve known him for more than thirty years and just now learned about the start of his career. Also very interesting to learn about the music scene in NY in the 60’s and his role in the expansion of middle eastern music at the time. Looking forward to more of these interviews in the future. Thanks for this wonderful site.
