Sowt (Jordan) and Komet Kashakeel (UK) are excited to announce the launch of a brand-new season of the Dom Tak podcast, showcasing the contributions of disabled musicians to the Arabic musical landscape. In this series, we explore how identity, creativity, and access intersect; what it truly means to create music on your own terms; and how prepared the music world is to support inclusive and diverse creative spaces.

Arabic episodes will be released on Dom Tak starting [31 July, 2025], and, for the first time, English renditions will be available on Loosely Adapted and audio-visual subtitles will be available in both languages on Sowt’s YouTube channel: Dom Tak | دُمْ تَكْ - YouTube.
