“Heliocentric” by Felukah, Behind the scenes
I came across @felukah music a few months into living in Cairo, in fall of 2020. I was feeling like an outsider, not really knowing how to identify with the very place I grew up. I came across her music, and through it began to hear the voices of an entire generation, that were just like me. I began to feel the heartbeat of the East, fused with the freedom of the West. Instantly, I was a fan.
I had always been somewhere either here or there, never both. Thank you @felukah for taking the time to learn, love, express, and master this duallity. This is that kind of art that both unites the world *and starts a revolution.
Being able to serendipitously meet, connect, and collaborate on this project was nothing short of an act of fate. I am inspired.
