One Sky is oud virtuoso and composer Rahim Alhaj’s crucial artistic appeal to each of us: make a positive difference—in whatever way we can—towards a better world. As an Iraqi immigrant to the United States, Rahim AlHaj uses his musical talents to spread hope and peace. AlHaj joins Iranian santūr player Sourena Sefati and Palestinian-American percussionist Issa Malluf in a sonic statement of friendship, understanding, and an acknowledgement of humanity’s oneness as we all try to live in peace under the same sky. 57 minutes, 20-page booklet with bilingual notes in English and Arabic.
