Elyanna sings like someone carrying a whole history with her, and in a sense she is. The Palestinian-Chilean artist blends Arabic music with Latin rhythms and global pop, and that sound has made her one of the most distinctive new voices in music.
Elyanna’s second album, Ghazali continues the story of rebirth she began on her first album Woledto. An album rooted in Arabic music and shaped by sounds and traditions from Palestine, India, Algeria, Egypt, Chile and beyond, with Tuareg influences and a wide range of accents and languages woven throughout. Singing in Arabic, English and Spanish, she moves through desire, rebellion, freedom, love and belonging.
