JAMILA & THE OTHER HEROES is a Berlin "band from manywhere" that combines psychedelic desert rock with activist content. Jamila Al-Yousef, who named the band after her Palestinian grandmother, was born in Berlin on the day the Berlin Wall came down. Having absorbed the revolutionary energy from that time with her mother's milk and highly influenced by her Palestinian father’s life story, she composes songs with her Heroes that appeal to a hybrid audience identifying with the band's diaspora narratives and their musical fight against racism, and sexism.
After touring extensively in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Palestine, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Italy over the past years, the band's second studio album “Bazaar Bizarre فلسطين وين انا؟ “ hit a nerve with songs like „Fragments of Palestine“ honouring the Palestinian film- and theatre maker Juliano Mer-Khamis, who founded the Freedom Theatre Jenin and was assassinated in 2011.
