As the weather heats up and the days get longer, there’s no better time to create a new summer playlist. That’s why we asked sensational Palestinian-Chilean singer, Elyanna to curate one just for you. With her captivating voice and an eclectic taste in music, Elyanna invites you to enjoy the rhythms that define the perfect summer playlist. From Latin beats to timeless classics, each track has been handpicked to set the stage for a summer you won’t forget.
The playlist commences with an irresistible anthem, “Come Around” by MIA, and Latin superstar Shakira’s chart-topping hit, “La Tortura,” follows suit, infusing the playlist with Latin vibes and Elyanna’s proud heritage. The half-Palestinian artist also pays homage to her Arabic roots with “Sbabi” by Cheb Khaled, a track that artfully merges traditional Arabic sounds with contemporary beats. Her selection also wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of Elyanna’s childhood inspiration, Lana Del Rey.
Speaking of musical legends, Elyanna herself is releasing a new song titled “Mama Eh” on July 7. That’s right – we won’t have to wait much longer to hear new music from one of our favourite Arab artists.
