“I’m just a very proud Palestinian-Chilean girl, and I am always going to represent who I am”, Elyanna says. For the latest installment of DIARIES, Hypebeast follows Elyanna to her first-ever London show, providing exclusive access to Elyanna’s world and the team behind the artist.
Ahead of her international ‘WOLEDTO Tour,’ the Palestinian-Chilean artist reflects on her unique and rebellious Arab sound, music-filled upbringing, and the importance of platforming her culture on a global stage. Her poignant lyricism explores themes of Arab pride, resilience, love, loss, and displacement. Through her music, she hopes to show the world, including Arab Americans and the diaspora, that they should be proud of where they come from and never hide their heritage.
