Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter Elyanna has announced North American, European, and UK tour dates. The – Woledto Tour will be in support of her celebrated debut album Woledto.
The 28-city tour kicks off on October 7 at House of Blues in Houston, TX making stops in Atlanta, GA; Brooklyn, NY; Toronto, ON; and more before wrapping up the North America leg in San Diego, CA at The Observatory North Park on November 20. The tour then proceeds to the Netherlands, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and the UK in December.
Following the success of her first ever outing earlier this year, with sold out shows around the US and Canada, the artist received rave reviews from her musical debut. Billboard called her “the Future Sound of Arabic Pop” and Pitchfork noted her album “blends elements of Arab pop, R&B, EDM, and jazz into an energizing new sound with deep respect for tradition”. Additionally, Elyanna made her late night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
With Woledto, out now via Universal Arabic Music, Elyanna unveiled a new layer of her artistry and sound, marking a significant moment of rebirth both musically and personally—a true testament to the translation of Woledto, meaning “I am born.”
Crafted with meticulous details, Woledto seamlessly blends traditional and modern sounds from across the globe as she pays homage to her Palestinian and Chilean roots, presenting Elyanna in her full artistic essence.
“This album is my debut and it lives in its own world and despite being my first, it is for me a rebirth of myself while at the same time serving as the unveiling of Elyanna,” explains Elyanna.
“It’s something I’ve never heard before, yet it feels nostalgic. It holds so much culture and it’s Spanish-inspired with a feature from my Grandfather. To me this album is a journey through identity, love, rage, feminism and is inspired by Palestine and the whole Arab diaspora.”
