In just listening to Farah Siraj's music, one cannot deny the cross-cultural blend that exists. Flamenco sprung from Arabic influence, but Farah Siraj, the Jordanian who has found her home in Spain, has created a lush blend of flamenco and middle-eastern music. While Farah's music is in Spanish (okay, and some splashes of Arabic) with flamenco guitar, cajon, and palmeros, her melody lines soar with micro-tonal decents and approaches characteristic of middle-eastern styles.
But don't write this off as just another world artist. Farah's music is not only rich in textures, rhythms, and melodies, but also contains rock and electronic elements that take her music to a whole new level.
Farah Siraj is currently working on a full-length album, however, you can click below for an example of Farah's music.
