Today, the Spotlight shines On JUNO Award-winning oud player and guitarist Gordon Grdina.

Gordon's work defies limitations, be they geographical, distance, time, or genre. His music incorporates avant-garde jazz, free improvisation, indie rock, and the Arabic tradition.

So much music, so many collaborators, and so much ground to cover in our talk. We made the most of our time together, exploring projects, processes, the fusion of musical traditions, appropriation, authenticity, and more.

If you are open to the idea that music can be a tool for communication and understanding between people and peoples, Gordon Grdina will give you plenty to consider.
