Who is the Palestinian singer Eliana?
Eliana is a girl who was born in the city of Nazareth, Palestine, in 2002 to a Christian family. She began her artistic career at an early age, and at the age of 15, she moved with her family to San Diego in the United States to continue her musical career.
Although she had not initially planned to sing in Arabic, a suggestion during a recording session prompted her to try singing in Arabic, leading to the release of her first song, “Ana Lahali” in 2020.
Eliana is distinguished by her musical style that blends Western pop and Arabic music, which has made her a diverse audience from different cultures. She has released several successful songs, including her famous song “Ana Lahbibi” in which she revived a classic song with her own voice.
In 2023, Eliana was the first artist to sing in Arabic on the stage of Coachella, one of the largest music festivals in the world, which represented a pivotal moment in her artistic career. Eliana continues to present new works that reflect her cultural diversity, with a focus on promoting Arab identity through contemporary music.
In her interviews, Eliana talks about the influence of her Palestinian-Chilean roots on her music, and says that this cultural blend helps her to innovate and renew her work, as she mixes different musical styles and presents them in a new language that suits a wide audience.
In an interview with The Guardian, Eliana spoke about the importance of her Palestinian-Chilean identity, how her roots inspire her music, and how her album Woldeto represents a turning point in her artistic career, highlighting the influence of her family and cultural heritage in her work.
The song “Jenni” is part of Eliana’s first album “Woldito”, which was released in 2024. The album reflects a sophisticated blend of Arab and Western musical culture, and is an expression of her identity as a singer who combines Latin and Arab influences.
