The unifying power of
music is at the heart of an original series being launched today (July 6) by
Spotify. “I’m With the Banned” pairs artists from the six countries cited in
President Trump’s March 6 travel ban with six American counterparts for a
musical movement targeted to amplify the voices of people and communities that
have been silenced.
Desiigner, Pusha T, Sam
Harris from X Ambassadors, K.Flay, BJ the Chicago Kidand
Blue Note’s Dr. Lonnie Smith are the stateside artists participating in “I’m
With the Banned.” All six are from Universal Music Group, with whom Spotify
worked closely on the initiative. The international artists joining forces from
the banned countries include DJ/producer Kasra V (Iran), singer/songwriter Moh
Flow (Syria), the musical collective Waayaha Cusub (Somali), singer/songwriter
multi-instrumentalist Methal (Yemen), producer/beatmaker Sufyvn (the Sudan) and
singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Fakroun (Libya).
