Recorded at Flemingdon Park (Arts in the Park: Labyrinth Ontario), August 3, 2019.

Quraishi - unknown

Excellent work from Labyrinth Ontario, teaming up with the Arts in the Parks program to bring a series of Sunday afternoon concerts of modal musics to Flemingdon Park. Just down past the Science Centre and nestled under a leafy, shady corner of the vast swath of parkland, this couldn't have been a lovelier day for sitting outside and hearing some beautiful sounds. Music for the first concert was provided by Quraishi, sharing some Afghani folk styles on his rubab, and backed by Tanjeer Alam Rajeeb on tabla. There were gorgeous little overtones in the ringing notes, although that might be lost a little in this, which is very much a field recording — but you can get a sense of the space if you listen carefully, with some birdsong and cicadas (and a little wind noise against my mics) in the background.
