GENEVA, November 2 (UNHCR) – Born in Mogadishu, Siham and Iman Hashi are the first female Somali artists to sign a record deal with a major American label. After the civil war broke out in Somalia in the 1990s, the girls and their family moved to Canada as refugees. They are currently in Los Angeles recording their first album as “Sweet Rush” with Universal Motown, while finding time to raise awareness about the continuing suffering in their homeland. The sisters discussed their lives and work recently with UNHCR Web Editor Leo Dobbs in Geneva, where they performed at the Nansen Refugee Award ceremony. Excerpts from the interview:

Canadian sisters Siham and Iman Hashi, who form the group Sweet Rush, and British musician Daniel Bedingfield performed at the event. Siham and Iman were resettled with their families in Canada after Somalia’s civil war erupted in 1991. The pair have been creating a lot of excitement in the music world and are currently recording their first album.
