Youmna Saba is a singer-songwriter, who performed her first songs in 2006. Highly inspired by everyday situations she encounters, Youmna uses the Arabic-Lebanese vernacular to express whatever comes to her mind, whether consciously or not. She is thus often left wondering where something came from and ends up contemplating the many routes her mind decides to wander in without her consent.Along with Fadi “Fe” Tabbal, she has been experimenting with all sorts of sound-emitting objects (real instruments played in a typical manner, real instruments played in an atypical manner, instruments pretending to be real, toy instruments, cutlery, bells, keys, bodies...) to create an accompaniment to her melodies that form her EP "Min Aafesh el Beit".
