In Iraq, centuries-old black community still on the margins
[Rudaw] Adnan Abdelrahman shows off the drums he learned to play at age 12. He belongs to Iraq's centuries-old black minority, guardians of musical traditions but relegated to the margins of society.Here comes the Reparations Train! Centred in the city of Zubair, near Basra in the far south of Iraq, the community has its origins in East Africa.
