Bint il Sham - Ishtar

View descriptionShare

Bint il Sham - "Ishtar” from the 2023 compilation album By the People, For the People on House of Afandi Records

A relatively new singer/songwriter, Bint il Sham says her music is "driven by translating the journey of being a Palestinian refugee between Amman and Damascus." Her songs mix minimal electronica with poetry and sociopolitical messages related to her own experiences. 

Today's Song of the Day is the title track from her 2023 EP, inspired by the book Lugz Ashtar (or The Mystery of Ishtar) by author Firas Al-Sawwah.
