In this episode, we receive Maya Youssef, a Syrian musician and composer based in the United Kingdom and master of the qanun🌺🪘🎼

In this episode, Joana Saahirah invites Maya Youssef to discuss Tarab, Maqamat, Taksim & the Magic of Arabic Music & Dance; what it was like to grow up in Syria; the value of Mistakes; and much more. Oh, she also plays the kanun and almost makes me cry.
