Shim El Yasmine, Mashrou' Leila | Erik Truffaz Quartet feat. Hamed Sinno
Suggested by senior Kamel AlSharif: “Hamed Sinno’s voice is so raw, genuine and soulful. It is very groundbreaking because the words in the song are conjugated in such a way that challenges traditional notions of romantic relationships in the Arab world.”
Mesh Gader, Yazan Al Rousan
Suggested by sophomore Araz Aslanian: “A very close friend of mine sent it to me right before coming to NYUAD. It reminds me of the summer I spent with him before coming to college.”
