ACL 2024: Elyanna

 Saturday at 4:20pm on the Tito's stage. Per Wikipedia:

Elian Marjieh (born January 22, 2002), known professionally as Elyanna, is a Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter, merging Arabic music with Latin rhythms to create an experimental Arab-pop sound that has captured a global audience. Born in Nazareth, her musical talents were nurtured by her family, with early influences including iconic figures like Julio Iglesias and Sabah Fakhri.

When she was 15 her family moved to San Diego but she's now in L.A.

She has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 

In 2023, she made history as the first artist to perform a set entirely in Arabic at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

"Ghareeb Alay" is reggae sung in Arabic. 

"Al Sham" is cool. So is "Ganeni". Could be pretty good live.

This is her most streamed song.
