11. Gina Dirawi

Hello loyal listeners! We’ve been busy recording and touring since you last heard from us, and in the muddle of it all, thought we’d lost the files for 4 brilliant episodes we’d recorded back before we got busy again. And then - magic! They appeared. The first out was recorded on November 26, 2021, an hour before we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the studio, and features none other than the multi-talented and multi-cultural Gina Dirawi. Although some of the content may be past its live gig-sensitive dates by now, the conversation is as relevant and intimate. Enjoy! --- Having spent over a decade in the limelight, Gina Dirawi decided the time was ripe to explore a deeper, more intimate relationship with herself – in sound. Here, she sits down with Sarah and Björn (who produced her debut release) to share the low-down on granting herself permission to follow her musical aspirations, the Arabic in her songs, and rejecting perfection as she enters the spotlight in a whole new way.
