Multidisciplinary artist Malek Hanna returns with “Ya Jama’a,” a vibrant, multilingual single set to drop February 20, 2026—a track that positions itself as both a celebration and a statement.
Blending Arabic, Spanish, and English, “Ya Jama’a” fuses Middle Eastern rhythmic foundations with global pop sensibilities, creating a sound that feels simultaneously rooted in tradition and expansive in scope.
A Cross-Cultural Collaboration
The single brings together an international lineup, featuring Latin Grammy-winning artist Paulina Aguirre and Christine Said, whose vocal presence adds both emotional depth and dynamic contrast.
Driven by layered percussion, melodic hooks, and an uplifting energy, the track leans into a central message of unity through music—a theme that resonates across languages and borders.
Music Without Borders
At its core, “Ya Jama’a” is designed as a communal experience. The title itself—loosely translating to “everyone” or “the group”—signals its intent: to bring listeners into a shared sonic space where cultural differences become part of the rhythm rather than a barrier.
The production reflects that ethos. Traditional influences are woven seamlessly into a contemporary pop framework, resulting in a track that feels globally fluent without losing its identity.
A Visual World to Match
Accompanying the release is a music video that continues Hanna’s reputation for visually driven storytelling—an approach seen in previous works like Beautiful Stranger and Which Way to Go.
Known for crafting cinematic, aesthetically rich visuals, Hanna extends the song’s themes into a visual narrative that mirrors its cross-cultural energy—further reinforcing the idea of music as a shared language.
An Artist Defined by Connection
Malek Hanna’s career has consistently moved across disciplines and borders. As an artist, actor, author, and producer, his work is unified by a central focus: connection.
From collaborations with Grammy-winning artists to his spiritual memoir Inner Flight, Hanna’s output explores identity, belonging, and the threads that link people across different worlds. Even outside of music, his voice has reached global audiences as the recognizable sound behind Apple Pay’s Face ID—another subtle reflection of his presence within modern cultural touchpoints.
A Global Pop Moment
With “Ya Jama’a,” Hanna taps into a growing appetite for multilingual, globally influenced pop—but does so with intentionality, grounding the sound in authenticity rather than trend.
The result is a track that feels celebratory without being superficial, polished without losing its cultural depth.
Setting the Tone for 2026
As the music landscape continues to blur geographical and linguistic boundaries, “Ya Jama’a” arrives as a timely reminder of what pop can do at its best: connect people.
Not just across playlists—but across cultures, languages, and lived experiences.
