About Iraqi radio

Iraqi maqam — the classical vocal tradition of Baghdad — is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, and singers from Nazem al-Ghazali to Kadim Al Sahir carried Iraqi song across the Arab world. Radio reflects the country's mix of Arabic and Kurdish, Shia, Sunni and Christian communities. Arabic radio, Kurdish radio and Qur'an radio go further.
