Best Music Writing events

A reminder that two events marking the release of Best Music Writing 2011 will take place in New York next week: on Tuesday night, a reading at powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn, and on Thursday night one at Housing Works Café. Above is a video of a song by the Iranian singer Mohsen Namjoo, on a text by Hafez; Morad Mansouri writes about it in his Best Music Writing essay, "The Underground Rises."
