Lala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dance floor. A singer, dancer, and gimbri player, LALA (“lady” in darija) brings North African music a fresh, feminine alchemy—ancient songs infused with the spell of gnawa trance, her grandmother’s music resurrected from the Atlas Mountains. Internationally acclaimed, she is known on the streets of Marrakech, her videos have millions of views, and her jubilant sound has carried her to festivals and stages on six continents. Wherever she goes, hearts and feet leave happy.
Master kora player Yacouba Sissoko devotes his gift to spreading the word of peace and expanding awareness of West African history and culture. His performances transform traditional songs and stories inherited from his forefathers into messages of love, harmony, and empowerment. The kora itself—an enchanting 21-stringed instrument central to West African culture—has long been played by djelys, or storytellers, who performed for kings, nobility, and village chiefs. Through song, they preserved the oral histories of their people, recording the rhythms of social life, cultural identity, and family lineage. In Yacouba’s hands, the kora continues this lineage, transporting audiences with its resonant sound.
Dr. Phillip Connor, Research Fellow at Princeton University, and long-time Arlington resident has published a new book, “MAKE RIGHT: Breaking Modern Injustices with the Ancient Compassion Code.”
If you’ve never met Phillip, you may have heard of his unusually large family of 7 children. (For years, it was hard to miss their huge brown van called “Tank Eh” around town). Or, you may have seen his research, particularly in the immigration policy space. Phillip worked as a researcher at the Pew Research Center for nearly a decade, followed by five years with FWD.us, an immigration and criminal justice reform organization. His policy work as a demographer has been featured in leading academic journals, top media outlets, and in presentations for Congress and several administrations.
