Fatima Al Qadiri to helm Radio 4 documentary exploring music and war

The Sound of Bombs airs tomorrow at 11am

Fatima Al Qadiri will be leading an investigation into the relationship between warfare and music for a new BBC Radio 4 documentary, The Sound of Bombs.

Al Qadiri, who spent some of her childhood in Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation, will discuss why the sounds of warfare have become an essential part of her music, and how music can be used to understand the violence that inspired it.

She will also be looking into the role music plays for soldiers engaged in warfare.

You can listen to the 30 minute programme tomorrow (13 March) at 11am on BBC Radio 4.

Update: The programme is now available to be streamed via BBC iPlayer.
