Mona Haydar - American
This woman has got a forthright out there voice on : the hijab , and a few other things. Liked her immediately when I heard she was from Flint Michigan
The track American is fab in my mind“American”:
“They don’t want to see me as American/ See me on your TV as a terrorist/ All I wanna do is have some fun by the beach, man/ But here come ICE and that travel ban.” White supremacy/nationalism comes for us, but we’re going to turn up and enjoy our lives in spite of that nastiness. In this song, we have no time for ugliness, we’re too busy basking in the glorious sunlight and getting a lovely tan as our skin turns even browner. We subvert and resist injustice simply by being JOYFULLY ourselves.

Had a great time tracking a few songs down the immediate thought was of Asian Dub Foundation not knowing if they had any muslim members, beliefs etc.
Headed to Bandcamp where I am looking a-lot more lately as a a place beyond the subscription and live music attendance to support artists.
