Featuring: SARIYAH IDAN
Trained in jazz & folk, hip-hop educated and influenced by the music of her Jewish roots, internationally touring singer-songwriter Sariyah Idan has shared stages with Pete Seeger, Lee “Scratch” Perry and Yusef Lateef as well as recordings with Marcia Griffiths and Caron Wheeler on Dubblstandat’s album “Woman In Dub.” Originating from New York and based in Los Angeles, she is now on tour promoting her debut solo EP “Deeper Than Skin.” Fusicology reviewed her release show at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles as “powerful soulful, spirited songs filled with stories of struggle, love and social justice.” Sariyah is also known as the writer/actor of solo documentary theater show “Homeless in Homeland” about a young Jewish American women’s struggle to understand her identity, family and the meaning of home through the lens of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Reviewed by the Hollywood Progressive as “a dramatic tour-de-force not to be missed.”
