Ya Watani—Syria, Dabke, Druzes
This month, Luaka Bop introduces us to Boshra AlSaadi, who, along with her mother Roada in Brooklyn and her Aunt Salwa in Damascus, curate May DB Radio. At the end of the playlist, you can listen to the pair discuss the history of dabke, popular subjects in Syrian music, and the intrigue surrounding famed starlet Asmahan.
