サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, host Hani Dajani talks to music duo, SHKOON, about their journey and how their music has a strong cultural impact, addressing themes of identity, displacement, and hope. We also talk about SHKOON's music incorporates elements of Arabic folk songs, Sufi poetry, and classical music, combined with modern electronic beats.
SHKOON is made up of duo Ameen and Thorben. Ameen, originally from Syria, fled to Germany due to the Syrian civil war. He brought with him a deep connection to the traditional music of his homeland, which greatly influences Shkoon’s sound. Thorben, with a background in classical and jazz music, contributes his knowledge of Western music theory and electronic production.
