Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Here the vocal traditions of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish worlds are brought together by leading exponents of each.

L'Ham de Foc, the Sephardic group from Valencia, are joined by the Munich group Estampie, and the whole is fronted by three outstanding singers: Mara Aranda, Imam Al Kandoussi and Sigi Hausen, assisted by an Indian tabla player and a Russian percussionist. Acoustic Middle-Eastern instruments are no longer novelties, but they are used here to create wistful, winsome magic.
