It seems rather appropriate to open the day after a divisive State of the Union speech with this video by sister duo Hegazy celebrating the values of family and friendship within racial diversity (by the way, how did it happen that one of the very few New Yorkers that don’t get tolerance and inclusiveness ended up in the White House?). Leila & Omnia are also New York born, and decided to join their musical careers as solo artists back in 2015 after the death of their father, who always insisted they were stronger together. They’ll be celebrating the release of their debut EP at Mercury Lounge on Friday February 9th. Check out their video for single "Here To Stay," streaming below.
