ZADE

After September 11, it would have been understandable if Zade Dirani had cancelled his American house-concert tour. But as a musician and a Muslim, Zade embraced his opportunity to bridge the cultural divide between East and West. He also has performed larger concerts for Queen Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela, and the Jordanian royal family. Zade joins John to talk about his family, his life in America, and his new self-titled album from producer Will Ackerman.
