Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna became the first artist to perform a set at the Coachella Festival in the Colorado Desert entirely in Arabic over the weekend.
The iconic American music festival kicked off in Indio, California on 14 April with three days of shows, followed by a second weekend of performances later this month.
Elyanna performed on Saturday 15 April, debuting a new single “Janene Orr” and singing Egyptian songs from her childhood alongside her brother Feras on the keyboard.
The 21-year-old waved a keffiyeh, a scarf widely viewed as a symbol of Palestinian resistance, to the loud cheer of fans.
