Singer-songwriter Maysa Daw always knew she wanted to become a musician. The 27-year-old Haifa native recently released her debut album called “Between City Walls.” She is also the youngest member of famed Palestinian hip hop group DAM, and sings and plays percussion with the new, all-women ensemble Kallemi.
