Global Hit and geo answer
The subject of our Global Hit today is not a musician.
It’s an instrument.
A relatively new instrument called the hang. It was invented in the city of Berne, Switzerland – the answer to our Geo Quiz.
But The World’s Aaron Schachter actually came across the hang in the Syrian capital of all places. That’s where he picks up the story.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
