In recent years, the music industry has witnessed the remarkable rise of new music markets in SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa). This dynamic region is swiftly establishing itself as a prominent force in the global music landscape. Spanning from Morocco to Yemen, it encompasses a diverse population characterized by a rich tapestry of languages, dialects, and music genres.
