Finding Middle Eastern queer music is not an easy task. From imprisonment to persecution, there are many risks for those who promote tolerance and diversity. This mixtape’s voices call for a change: for acceptance (“Jeat Lahi ”, about coming out to a disapproving family), for celebration of homosexual love (Anog, Shim El Yasmine). This music shatters taboos fearlessly, and I believe those voices are only getting stronger.
