Don’t let me be lost to you by Ian Nagoski

At the end of the 19th century, the United States of America received several communities from the Middle East. The New York music industry quickly became a disseminator of musical cultures brought by people from present-day Turkey, Syria, Armenia, Lebanon, Egypt and Greece. At this conference, archivist and researcher Ian Nagoski retrieves the stories and musical fragments of two generations of these communities, exposing the social reality of a nation of immigrants that requires only a few people to be remembered, while others are forgotten.
