Bedouine joins host Stephen Kallao

Bedouine was born in Syria, moved to Saudi Arabia as child, and then eventually found her way to the United States – Her first self-titled album explored that part of her story. Now with her second disc, Bird Songs of a Killjoy, she has written a song about the section of Los Angeles where she’s lived for the last decade – Echo Park. Bedouine joins host Stephen Kallao today to share the story behind that song and others, and we’ll learn about the many bird metaphors on the new record. Plus, a live studio performance.
