Cashmere Guest Mixes yalla listen #4, Beirut w/ Demiana 03.10.2024

This edition of yalla listen! has a special emphasis on musical portraiture of the city of Beirut over the last 50 years. From Fairuz to Charif Megarbane, I share with you some musical stewards of Lebanon who have been describing the capital city to us for decades. I additionally share some English translated lyrics of the famous "Le Beirut" and "Beirut Sett el Donya"

For those of us from or whose lineage is in the SWANA region, we are all too familiar with grief, dehumanization, and continual mourning. for these 90 minutes, we can relax into the creativity, power, talent, and playfulness SWANA musicians have led in from the 20th century icons to modern hip-hop and electronic artists.
