Mona Haydar- American-Syrian rapper and activist

Mona Haydar, as the title says, is a rapper and activist. She is Syrian who lives in America. She was raised in Flint, Michigan, where she also graduated from the University. Then she moved to Damascus to study Arabic and Islamic spirituality.  

Mona is also a poet. She started to write very early. After some time, her poetry was used as texts for her songs. Her first track- "Hijabi"- reached millions of views. Song talks about racism and how islamic people are treated. "What that hair look like? Bet that hair look nice. Don’t that make you sweat? Don’t that feel too tight?" This is how the song begins. These are the most asked questions about hijab, a traditional veil worn by most of the muslim women. "All around the world love women every shading. Be so liberated" These lyrics mean that we should all respect women and all people, without looking what they ate and what they believe in. In my opinion, this song has a very strong message and we all should carefully listen to it, to understand what Mona is talking about. 

 Her second and most current song- "Dog"- talks about violence against women. 

 That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed reading this post! 
Filip.

Rayhon Ganiyeva- The Greatest Uzbek Artist

Rayhon Ganiyeva She was born in 1978, in Uzbek capital city- Tashkent. Her music career started when she was 5 years old and her mum bought her a piano as a birthday present. In 1999 she created a duet called "Hayol", but it only existed for a year. Then she started her solo career. She is an active artist nowadays.  In my opinion, she is the best Uzbek artist, and one of the best Asian singer. I enjoy her every song, especially "Habibi", "Hamma Jam" and "Bor yoki yo'g", in which she is singing with Munisa Ryzaieva. Her voice is stunning, which makes her songs even more enjoyable. Also, she is a very nice person as I saw from her interviews, so for me she is an perfect artist, that is very underrated and should be known by people from all around the world.  That's all what I wanted to write in this post. I hope you will enjoy it!  Filip.
