Rasha Nahas" debut album "Desert" (2021) is an intricate collage, documenting a journey from Palestine to Germany, from the personal to the political - and back. Poetic vocalization, evocative, delicate passages of guitar and wailing violins, Rasha"s work is awash with sweeping orchestration that slips effortlessly in and out of the spellbinding musical overtones of her native Middle East.[info sheet from distr.]
