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.
