Jokkoo with/con Miramizu, Rasheed Jalloul & Sabine Salamé
Jokkoo is an art and music collective based in Barcelona. It was born out of the need to investigate and disseminate the most contemporary and futuristic electronic sounds of the African continent and its diaspora, engaging with ally communities worldwide. They create connections and spaces to give a platform to dissident aesthetics and narratives. The collective is formed by six different personas with shared goals, Baba Sy (aka pasaporteman), Maguette Dieng (Mbodj), Oscar Taylor (Opoku), Nicolas Beliot (Mooki6), Ismäel N´diaye (B4mba) and Miriam Camara (TNTC).
Mira Karouta, known as Miramizu, is a Barcelona-based visual artist and DJ from Jordan with roots in Palestine and Lebanon. Drawing inspiration from her heritage and surroundings, she uses music and visual art to craft narratives that delve into the intricacies of our shared existence.
Together with Rasheed Jalloul, they collaborate to weave a sonic experience, a vocabulary of inclusive identity in solidarity with the Palestinian People, who remarkably endure archaic aggressions backed by technologies of life eradication.
Rasheed Jalloul is an architect, artist, and composer from Beirut, based in Barcelona, working at the interface of architecture, language, poetry, music, and space. His creative research focuses on devising interdisciplinary methods in an effort to re-indigenize knowledge production while using music as a vehicle of that modality.
SABINE SALAME is a Lebanese rapper and poet using the power of her vulnerability to tackle political and personal issues from an unconventional perspective with hopes to build a real historical documentation for the future and make everyone going through similar turmoil feel less alone.
Launched from Palestine at the beginning of the global lockdown in 2020, Radio Alhara, a communal media platform, encompasss the idea of a public space and aims to blend the limits between producers and listeners.
