Podcast: The Queer Arabs

Episode 71 in English: Ellia, Ellie & Alia

Ellia visited Houston for the Pride parade, so we talked about our impressions of it: what was good and what has gone bad.  We discussed the corporate focus of the parade and how that affects the essence of what Pride should be about.   Ellia also gave some information about the limits in Arabic that exist when talking about inclusive queer terminology. This episode was done in 2 parts (one on June 23 and the other July 2); during the second half of the episode, Ellia and Alia talked about Tarab NYC and about World Pride in NYC.

Ellia can be reached @ellia.ali on Instagram; we also highly encourage you to follow @tarabnycorg on Instagram.  You can also find Tarab NYC on Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you all for listening!

Episode 70 in English: Sharouh!


We had a wonderful guest for this episode named Sarah; her musician name is Sharouh.  Sarah grew up in France, and has a Tunisian-Greek Jewish background.  We talked about Sarah’s work as a musician these days in Madrid (where she now lives), as well as musicians who have inspired her.  We also talked about international work Sarah has been able to do, using music as a tool for cultural exchange and bridge-building.  It was so lovely connecting with Sarah and we hope you enjoy!
