Empowering the Feminine through Music. | Yal Solan | TEDxLAU Women
In the fast pace of our capitalist modern world, singer-songwriter Yal Solan emphasizes the value of reconnecting to our feminine values. Infusing her original music and poetry, Yal reminds us that softness is powerful, slowness is rebellion, and that healing is found when we awaken the Feminine from her deep slumber. Yal Solan is a Lebanese singer, poet, and multidisciplinary artist who seamlessly blends her poetry with her oriental roots, occidental influences, and mystical inspirations.Initially an animator and graphic designer, Yal discovered in the courage of expression and the sensuality of performance a liberating antidote to a senseless capitalistic system. In a modern world that often distances us from our compassionate nature, she creates music to resensitize, resurrect, and reconnect us to the heart of who we truly are.Beyond music, Yal is also a fashion model, actress, and voice-over artist. Her artistic versatility and deep connection to embodiment through her various practices shape and inspire her distinctive presence.
