music to fuel the fervor. And that's exactly what emerged across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula this year.
On Wednesday, All Things Considered host Robert Siegel checked in with a Greek

Music, lists songs that were a huge part of the Arab Spring protests. You can listen to the conversation by clicking the audio link above, and hear the songs they discuss below.
