Roqe - Ep #124 - The Nomadic Guitar Hero - Maneli Jamal Roqe

A feature interview with Iranian-Canadian guitarist and composer, Maneli Jamal. With a new album about to be released, Maneli joins Jian in the Roqe Studio to discuss the impact that moving twenty times before the age of 18 had on his unique musical sound, his instrument as his refuge, lessons learned from his artistic and political Persian parents, getting deported from the United States with his family after 9/11, and finding his identity and sound as an award-winning guitarist living in Canada. Plus the Roqe Team pores through the Letters of the Week.
