In Songs of our Mothers, traditional and other Afghan folk songs are taken on a journey from East to West, mirroring Soroor’s journey. Discriminated for her gender, singing and ethnic background, she settled in London as a refugee and started musical collaborations with artists, such as RESET 2019 trumpeter Yazz Ahmed. A powerful album for “those women around the world whose image has been erased, and whose voice has been forbidden.” An inspiring gig on the weekend of International Women’s Day celebrations.
