Kefaya & Elaha Soroor - Our Freedoms Must Be Won Kefaya & Elaha Soroor

Kefaya and Elaha Soroor have made their most ambitious and urgent record yet
Polyrhythms, immersive synthesisers, and trance- inducing grooves create a sound that is simultaneously ancient and urgently contemporary: music built for bodies moving together. The album confronts war, displacement, and mass violence not as aberrations but as tools of power, while insisting on collective resistance, survival, and shared responsibility. Freedom here is not abstract. It must be won.

Kefaya (Giuliano Modarelli, Al MacSween, and Joost Hendrickx) are known for their boundary- breaking fusion of global sounds and jazz, and the celebrated Hazara vocalist Elaha Soroor, a pioneering figure in Afghan music and the first female Hazara singer to perform on Afghan television, brings a voice of extraordinary emotional depth and power. Together they follow up their Songlines Award-winning Songs of Our Mothers with their most ambitious work yet.
