In September’s Transglobal World Music Chart, the title “Finding Home”, recorded by Maya Youssef from Syria, took first place.
Maya Youssef currently lives in Great Britain. Her second album “Finding Home” is a journey through memories and towards the essence of home, both within and without. The music moves through loss, transcendence and magic, with a final arrival in a hopeful place.
Home: literally, emotionally and spiritually, however that may look for you. Home is that place of peace, that place of softness, of comfort, and of healing. It manifests in many different ways for many different people. It’s finding home in nature. It’s finding home in those that make us feel that sense of relief and peace.
