I had not known that everyday life was so terrorized into silence for years before the IS takeover.

May we all find such spirit to make music again.

Glad to see that a Muslim and a Mosul native wrote this piece. Thank you for posting.

Not sure who runs this web site, but Mosul Eye is a great source of all things Mosul.
