For the radio broadcast “Écouter Paris, écouter les villes du monde” (Listen to Paris, listen to cities of the world) on RFI (Radio France internationale), with Monica Fantini (“Écouter le monde” Project),
I edited with her two aural pieces from my sounds recorded in Cairo to be broadcasted:

  • October 22nd, 2016: « Écouter la voix du Caire » (Listen to the voice of Cairo),
  • Octobre 29th, 2016: « Écouter les cafés du Caire » (Listen to the cafes of Cairo).

 October 22nd, 2016: « Écouter la voix du Caire » (Listen to the voice of Cairo),

Cairo has a voice, sewn of a thousand voices of the daily: the voices of those fellows who shout to one another, of onions and watermelons stallholders, of scrap dealers, of hucksters, and of muezzins.

 Octobre 29th, 2016: « Écouter les cafés du Caire » (Listen to the cafes of Cairo).

In Cairo, the coffee is an institution, open to the city, day and night. One can do there one’s shopping like at the market, vendors of handkerchiefs, perfumes or rababa (a kind of violin) solicit customers already busy ordering their shisha, drinking their shey, playing the tawla and dominoes..
