Loris (Mexico City) at Tropicasa

Loris is a Mexican artist with Palestinian roots from Saltillo in the state of Coahuila. An active DJ and producer in the Mexican electronic music community, her music is rooted in the fusion of Latin and Arabic sounds, blending in classical Arabic music and instruments introduced to her by her family: most significantly the Darbuka drums.

She grew up listening to the music without understanding the language, deciding to use musical memory as a guide to join two cultures through rhythm and electro pulses. Her work proposes a way of narrowing the language divide through music.
