Jamila & The Other Heroes

Description:

The first full-length album from the pop-catchy social psychedelic desert funk band! Jamila & the Other Heroes is a psychedelic desert funk band based in Berlin. This multinational group is led by Jamila Al Yousef, a female vocalist from Berlin whose father is a Palestinian refugee, and consists of a Syrian percussionist, bassist, drummer from Poland, and guitarist from Lebanon. On this, their first full-length album, the group has developed a unique sound that combines pop and catchy melody lines with a touch of Middle Eastern popular music, rock elements, and hip-hop beats. Jamila's unique lyrics, which preach a fairer society of tomorrow, are added to the themes of immigration, refugees, feminism, and so on. This is a new generation of world music that deserves your attention. Includes Japanese commentary and obi.
