056 — In Dreams with Rahill Jamalifard

Musician and political activist, Rahill Jamalifard joins us almost a year following her first Las Cruxes Radio offering—a public favorite. Drift away on this melancholic journey of jazz, country, & folk, immersed in tenderness with glimmers of sun-kissed memories.

“These are the songs that have been keeping me company through grey and rainy mornings and rocked me gently between the lonely pauses of grief and anxiety. Gentle and tender. Some of these songs followed me back home from tour and some of them came flooding my memory, from the vault of strange powers that music seems to possess. Taking me where I need to go when i can’t physically leave. This mix is inspired by the songs I long to live inside, a heartening refuge during a vulnerable time.”

As the pandemic continues to collectively affect us in innumerable ways, we encourage you to support our guests or an organization of their choosing. If you have the means and are able to contribute, you can send any desired amount to Venmo: @rahill-jamalifard. Rahill will donate these funds to her brother’s workplace, Beaumont Hospital (Detroit), on your behalf.
