Episode description
Armenian-Ukranian rappers Samuum discuss their new single, Maria, a tongue in cheek look at the middle-eastern phenomenon of bride kidnapping. This legitimately unique musical duo is the collaboration between The Voice of Ukraine star Lusine Kocharian and music producer/film director Andranik Berberian, a Ukrainian pair with very strong Armenian heritage. And while taking pride in that, they certainly don’t shy away from taking a huge, satirical swipe at women’s rights in the Middle East.
