Good morning,
And welcome to the Cultural Reads Newsletter with worldwide book, music, and movie recommendations.
In today’s newsletter: Japanese Books, Mexican Music, Great Map of Crisis, Iranian Comic & Swedish Blues.
Mexico is famous for Mariachi.
But with almost 130 million inhabitants, the Mexican music industry is much more than that.
Here are the 10 most famous Mexican singers you can’t miss!
Are you interested in Japanese culture?
Then you should check out these 10 best Japanese books.
I hired a writer on Japanese culture to explain where it all started, the popular genres, and China’s influence.
Are you interested in learning more about the Arabic-speaking world, specifically Lebanon?
Then you have to check out The Great Map of the Crisis!
This satirical YouTube documentary gives incredible insight into the various crises in Lebanon, their economic and political reasons, and their history.
Persepolis is an incredible black-and-white comic by the Iranian-born illustrator Marjane Satrapi.
Marjane grew up in Iran during an incredibly turbulent time: the overthrowing of the Sha’s regime and the Islamic revolution.
She decided to tell her story, which interlinks with the country’s, in an impressive comic that became a New York Times bestseller and later a movie.
Ending soon!

Do you like blues, folk, and rock music?
Then you should check out the Swedish musician Daniel Norgren.
He has been under the radar for me, but I can’t stop listening to his songs Howling Around My Happy Home and Moonshine Got Me.
