This Corona stuff really sucks ey! Since we might all be bound by borders for a while, we’d like to come together and share some happiness in the shape of a playlist or mix!

In the next days and weeks, check out Safe & Sounds, where we will figuratively introduce you to and put you in touch with music whizzes, featuring their selections, collections and picks from all around the globe.

Be “Safe & Sounds” and wash your hands!

This mix is a turbulent sonic exercise taking the listeners through the ebb and flow of sounds from Bahrain to Morocco while weaving aural voyages through the mountains and valleys of the SWANA. The sounds and stories are a reflection of the temporalities encapsulated within the mix.
