Simple songs often perform better because they are easier to remember and emotionally connect with. Complexity can impress, but clarity connects. Do you tend to write more simply or more complex?

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6LulVGVIoGakr2g8kmfJ9a?si=RqZsZT4eQpSRoOHxm47NqA In this episode, I got to connect with the amazing Tana Yonas, also known as DJ Passionfruit — a music selector, educator, writer, researcher, and global explorer of sound. From Ethiopia to LA, Mexico City to Tokyo, Tana’s journey moves through cultures, languages, record stores, and deep musical lineages. We talk about home, heritage, cities you can hear before you arrive, analog culture, the magic of taxi radios around the world, and how music becomes a passport — a way to travel, learn, and remember. We also dig into Freedom Frequencies, Tana’s video series; her family’s intergenerational connection to music, film, and documentation; and why Arabic poetry moves her so much. An analog evangelist extraordinaire, Tana will have you logging off and tuning in. @passionfruit.wav Join Languages through Music on Skool!

I am planning to launch group classes in January (which is around the corner 😅)... so I'd love to know: ▶️▶️▶️ 1) Which languages are you most interested in learning? (& why? 2) When in the week would be best for scheduling? Weekdays/Weekends? 🗣🗣🗣 Thank you! ✨✨✨ 💙
