He wrote The Chair Carrier. He also conducted a lecture entitled Why Don't You Pray? This is the introduction. The first minute of this was intriguing (and then I couldn't understand even the English portions). It's brief. At the beginning, someone sings the birth and the death songs, which are prayers. What do you think the connection between prayer and song is - or should be?
I have no idea what they are saying in Arabic, but it was just pretty to listen to. Would a listener automatically know that it is a prayer? Could you detect a difference between the death and birth songs/prayers?
