The Palestinian multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Eid has released his first solo record "min ghazzeh la baghdad min haifa la beirut (من غزة لبغداد من حيفا لبيروت)" after performing with bands for more than a decade. We spoke to the Berlin-based artist about using music to express lived reality, Palestine Music Space, and what calling out the Western complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine means for musicians.
The wonderful "Traveller" from the artist's freshly released debut EP is opening this week's selection for our newcomer playlist. Also in it are new songs from Bleach Lab, Lindsay Munroe, Minoa, Lisa Pac, Peach Tree Rascals and more.
