    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Lebanese-American musician Peter Kfoury was born in Manchester, New Hampshire. His father was Lebanese and his mother Syrian. At thirteen, he learned to play guitar and soon after, he became fascinated with the oud, an old Mid-Eastern traditional instrument.  He moved to Connecticut to attend college and for a few months, he took lessons with the Armenian musician George Mgrdichian. By that time, Kfoury started blending Middle Eastern music with jazz, rock, and funk. After a year, he decided to leave college and went to play music in New York. Later he returned to school and graduated as a Dr. Chiropractor, the profession he has practiced for almost forty years.  In the interview, Kfoury talks about the lack of diversity in the music offerings in Charleston as well as the lack of listening rooms. Responding to these voids, in 2016, he launched the World Music Cafe.  John Holenko and Hazel Ketchum from Hungry Monk Music supported his efforts. Since then, World Music Cafe produces a monthly show that features three musicians of different musical traditions and styles. Finally, Kfoury talks about creating, recording and presenting his album At the Heart of Two Worlds.<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Vocalist Aisha Kenyetta (a.k.a Aisha Frazier) was born in 1980, in Monetta, South Carolina.  Before going to college, her life revolved around family and church activities. Kenyetta describes herself as a freelance vocalist with a powerful voice: “ I&#039;m a power singer... but when I sing, my diction is rhythmic. My voice is an extension of the percussion instruments. It&#039;s not—I&#039;m not the violin. I&#039;m the bass.”  She performs with her own band, AmpSquared, and several others such as Super Deluxe, Plane Jane, and the musician collective Emerald Empire.  Additionally, she is the North Charleston Seacoast Church&#039;s Worship Leader. In the interview, Kenyetta discusses balancing family, her day work, and music career and states she is grateful for the many opportunities to perform.  At the time of the interview, Kenyetta was writing her own material.<br />
