"Born in Mogadishu to an Italian father and Somali mother, Saba Anglana is an actress best known for her role as a mixed-race cop in the long-running Italian crime drama, LA SQUADRA.
On Saba's musical debut, JIDKA (THE LINE), African and European cultures come together with a diverse array of musicians from Italy, Senegal, Gabon and the Cameroons, mixing traditional African beats and modern dance and hip hop rhythms for an album of tales about young women leaving the ancestral village for the big city and fathers long separated from their families. Saba's lyrics about the African immigrant experience are personal, and her music is considerate and humorous, respectful but passionate."
