Salma Al Aasal sings music from seven countries targeted in President Trump’s travel ban.
Salma Al Aasal learned to sing in Sudan as a child. But nobody in her adopted country had heard her voice — until a concert in Oakland this year. "Notes Against the Ban," featuring music from the seven countries targeted in President Trump’s travel ban, showcased music from Libya, Yemen, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Iraq, and served dual roles as ambassadorial outreach and as a healing salve.
