Finding My Heart in Algeria

I’m in love.

 

I’m in love with a 59-year-old man and I don’t care.  I’m in love with a 59-year-old man and I don’t care that he’s a world renowned musician and I’ll probably never meet him.

 

 

His name is Idir and I’m in love.

 

What is it about music that moves us?  Simple melodies, the easy run of the scale, the one-two, one-two of a drum appeals to something primordial in every human being.  It is as if music is woven into the fabric of creation and every organism is born into song.
