yalla listen! #2 w/ Demiana

Beyond the usual eclectic assortment of funk, soul, jazz, hip hop and more coming from North Africa and the Levant, your host Demiana guides you through a closer look at two recent releases relevant to the SWANA world. Charif Megarbane’s album “Hamra/Red” invites us to find new perspectives and dimensions of existing, creating, and pleasure through the lens of the color Red, while Saint Levant’s Deira is a political statement as well as capsule of grief for his birthplace of Gaza.
