CHECKPOINT 303

A Palestinian "sound catcher" who records on the street of Bethlehem and a Tunisian "sound cutter" based in France joined up forces in 2004 to bring to us the audio landscape of daily lives in the Middle East. The result is CHECKPOINT 303, one of the most amazing musical projects to come out from this part of the world in recent years.

Check out their excellent website at http://checkpoint303.free.fr/ and listen to some of their songs (free download).
