SPINearth Spotlights Middle Eastern Music and Culture

April 30th, 2009Maryam

Serious doubts and lack of nurturing, the Middle East often struggles to find its place not only in the world, media and politics but also in culture, arts and music. While also being stuck between religious governments, war and misinterpreted media conceptions, the Middle East’s music scene is no longer being overlooked with sites like SPINearth. Considered the latest web site to tap into user-generated content, SPINearth is a global music and culture project highlighting all the regions of the world. Specifically, SPINearth Middle East spotlights the growing metal, electro, punk, hip hop, rock and traditional music from cities through out the Middle East including the hot spots, Dubai, Beirut, and Tel Aviv. The site is fueled by passionate music and culture lovers, filmmakers, writers and photographers that share their experiences, their lives, on an international platform, becoming the voice of their cities.
