This artist her own musical world: Tarapop - AZIZA
SHOW LESSA² The Show - Ep 310 Feat. Aziza Aziza is a Lebanese singer and song writer whose musical world combines classical Arabic Tarab rules of composition, with Pop music. This puts her in a stylistic category of her own, labeled: Tarapop. Birthed in Beirut during the lebanese war, she was raised to the tunes of Warda, Fairouz, Oum Kolthoum , Sabah , Dalida and others . Her father was a singer in the 70’s and 80’s. Tarapop is a mix of sounds inspired from the region, such as Chaabi Egyptian, Lebanese and literary Arabic. This fusion is what leads to a musical version proper to Beirut today: an eclectic, electric, story-driven palette of styles. In that sense, Aziza's original music tells the story of the age she lives in, and the constant necessity of grounding herself in a turmoiled environment. Tarapop is classical vocals, rhythms and arrangement (ground) interpreted live with a backing pop rock band, taking the sounds of the quarter notes to new dynamics. Aziza's self titled all originals debut album was released in 2014. Ya Salat El Zein a classical egyptian cover song was revisited by Aziza and Michel Fadel in 2016 . 3alamna Wahed “Our World is One” a song written by Aziza for the World Cup 2018 with a message that reunites the arabic world with all its differences , produced and available on Anghami.

SKYRUNNER SURVIVES 14 STORY FALL: This story will blow your mind (Hillygoat from North Face)
A² The Show - Ep 299 Feat. Hillary Allen Hillary’s career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and unexpected challenges, Hillary’s had to re-think what she considers impossible. Early in her career, Hillary earned the nickname “Hillygoat” when she proved her ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain – a style of running known as Skyrunning. Since then, she has raced all over the world, racking up wins and course records, establishing herself as one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world. In 2017 she had a life threatening accident, where she fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. She was told she would never run again. After several years of rehab and recovery, Hillary made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, racing some of her longest and most challenging events post-accident. She maintains the belief that ‘your best athletic days are ahead of you, if you’re willing to work hard for what you love.’ Hillary also studies and teaches science, using her masters degree in neuroscience and physiology and structural biology. She is also a trail running coach, and a gravel cyclist.
