It's been rough times for awhile now, but the past few weeks of horrible family separations, SCOTUS decisions, and anti-immigrant sentiments have been unfathomable. This set explores foreign music from all over the world: Ukraine, Mali, India, Turkey, Netherlands, Morocco, and Syria. Some of the music is made by immigrants and refugees, some is made by children of immigrants, and most of the tracks are from artists in their home countries. Regardless of whether one stays in their home country, leaves for better opportunities, or is forced to leave because their homeland is no longer safe, everyone is deserving of a safe place to live and thrive. I put this set together to humanize people from all over the world.
