With “Distant Roots,” Jawa Manla explores the deep emotions associated with the impossibility of returning home, resonating with a deep longing for familiar landscapes and the cherished memories of her upbringing. The music is inspired by the compelling power and beauty of Arabic poetry; a passion that Jawa inherited from her father, a prominent poet.
