Regional power. If you’re staying in, a soundtrack to the day is always fun and with this listening list you can also help support a cause. Spotify has launched SAWTIK, an initiative designed to celebrate and amplify the voices of emerging unsigned female artists in the region, following research unveiling their under-representation in the MENA music scene. SAWTIK has debuted with an impressive line-up of 16 talented voices and Arab superstar Latifa (pictured) joins as the initiative’s first-ever godmother. The playlist will continue to grow and feature emerging female artists from the Middle East that deserve to be recognised for their art. Enjoy their work now.
