 http://naimarcnv.brownpapertickets.com/\n\nNaima Shalhoub is a vocalist, 
 composer, musician, actress, and educator from Oakland, CA. Shalhoub uses 
 music and song as vessels for freedom, advocating for social justice and 
 inspiration for healing and feeling deeper. Her first album, Borderlands, 
 was recorded in the San Francisco County Jail and is featured in an AJ+ 
 video titled "Singing Through the Prison Walls."\n\nBay area soul singer 
 Naima Shalhoub will perform a mix of her own songs and music of resistance 
 and freedom with Palestinian American MC and musician Tarik Kazaleh - 
 “Excentrik,” a multi-instrumentalist, on Saturday, March 11, 7:30PM at 
 the Resource Center for Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. Local 
 singer/songwriter Gina René will open the evening, blending R&B and Pop 
 melodies with wit and lyricism.\n\n“The voice cannot be contained by 
 metal bars. Music can break the barriers of the injustice and the pain that 
 people go through when they are isolated and confined.” - Naima 
 Shalhoub\n\nNaima Shalhoub blends her African and Middle Eastern culture 
 with improvisation and rhythm. She is ignited by a passion to use her vocal 
 talents to uplift others. Songstress, performing artist and educator Naima 
 Shalhoub facilitates weekly music sessions with incarcerated women. 
 Borderlands: Live in San Francisco County Jail, Shalhoub’s debut album, 
 merges her passion for singing with her equally deep passion for social 
 justice and freedom. \n\nShalhoub is a first generation Lebanese American. 
 Her parents were born in Sierra Leone and raised in Lebanon. Shalhoub’s 
 vocal style has an Edie Brickell-meets-Sade sort of quality. Her music is 
 influenced by Billie Holiday, African rhythms, Arabic songs, soul and 
 blues.\n\n“Being a woman of color, being an Arab American in this world, 
 I have definitely felt what confinement feels like and what it feels like 
 to be in the Borderlands. As a brown woman, you cannot ignore the rampant 
 ways that violence against women shows up in the world. You cannot ignore 
 that. You have to face that every day of your life.” \n\nTickets are $15 
 + fees. http://naimarcnv.brownpapertickets.com/\nContact sarah@rcnv.org for
