Shara by Rachel Sarah Thomas
Shara fuses Assyrian folk poetry, a melody written by Assyrian composer Sooren Alexander, and western funk, rock and pop. Shara blends musical markers of different cultural identities and in doing so becomes new. This is immigration, this is diaspora, this is deep cultural roots, this is fusion.

Lyrics
Yaleh oo bnateh azakh sharah
Oudyoum youma d'riqda oo zmara
Yaleh oo bnateh azakh sharah
Oudyoum youma d'riqda oo zmara
