Jordanian virtuoso Farah Siraj balances a career that spans the United States, Europe and the Middle East. She represents Jordan annually on United Nations World Peace Day. As a humanitarian, Farah focuses on raising awareness about the consequences of war and violence, and advocates for women's rights, refugee rights, and animal rights.
Farah approaches music as a medium for peace and a way to amplify the voices of people around the world who need to be heard. To this date, Farah has toured the Middle East, Europe, India, South America and the United States, spreading the message of peace through her original songs, fusing influences of Arabic music, flamenco, jazz, bossa and pop, with lyrics in Arabic, Spanish and English.
