Music from Wales for St David's Day Sat Mar 1st 2008 plus a broadcast quality mp3 music track downloaded from Freemuse - the Music Freedom organisation (http://www.freemuse.org) who in 1998 established Mar 3rd as world Music Freedom Day in observance of musicians all around the globe who suffer from government suppression as in obvious places such as Iran and Pakistan, physical oppression from drug cartel murders of folk musicians in Mexico, or attempts to silence artists such as the Dixie Chicks here in the US. The emotional song 'Navai' was the Signature song for Music Freedom Day 2007 and features Iranian singer Marjan Vahdat in a musical collaboration with the British guitarist Jason Carter. They first met and performed together at a Freemuse conference. As a woman, Marjan Vahdat is highly restricted in performing in public in her home country, Iran. She met guitarist Jason Carter at the third Freemuse World Conference in Istanbul in November 2006, and they decided to meet again in Germany. In January 2007 they recorded 'Navai' in a room with a stereo pair of Neumann microphones plugged into Jason's Mac computer...
