\\nTel Aviv-based artist\\xa0S H I R A N (real name: Shiran Avraham) uses her music to explore her\\xa0Middle Eastern roots, combining the influences with\\xa0hip-hop, Afrobeats, and more. Her\\xa0production partner Ron Bakal returns on this latest LP to help her carry these songs to new heights, in a style they call\\xa0\\u201cElectro Hafla,\\u201d\\xa0a reference\\xa0to "the large \\u201c\'hafla\'\\xa0get-togethers full of music and dancing, common at family gatherings and religious ceremonies."
\\nShe declares on Facebook:
\\nI am so proud of what we created Ron Bakal\\u2069. The album\\u2019s creation process was very special for me because all the songs were written in collaboration with a song writer from Yemen and been through a journey in all the places Ron and I love\\u2019s to travel. The truth is that the album was ready two years ago, it needed to release outside a long time ago but it postponed by a lot of reasons.\\xa0COVID-19, our life routine and all kind of challenges that we have been through. We worked on it so hard and during our work I went through a process of my own that thought me a lot. I have learned that it is good to let go and not hold in.. listen to myself and let the art burst out without a lot of questions and thoughts. But I do believe that everything is happening in it\\u2019s time. After all, the album was made with love! Thanks to amazing people that took part If it and brought there talent and heart\\xa0
