CARL CLEVES -Soundtracks of my Life

This is the third and probably final instalment in Carl Cleves’ amazing memories of his life as a global musician and ethnomusicologist. The first book was ‘Tarab: Travels with my Guitar’, the second ‘Dancing with the Bones’. As always it is a riveting account of encounters both musical and non musical, as he and his music and life partner Parissa Bouas trek to mysterious places around the globe to be thrilled by previously unrecorded music and perform themselves in a variety of unusual places. There is a Q code in the book which when scanned will take you to a Spotify play list of 6 hours of some of the music that has influenced him through his life.
