The Express Way with Dulé Hill

[Playing "Black Water"] Almadani: I have a stage.

Hill: How's everybody doing, man?

Dul.

Hill: How did you come up with the name Supernaturals?

Almadani: Supernatural's really about defying all the odds, doing whatever we got to do to be able to make music and get this message out there and help to rebuild a better future for Syrians.

Almadani: It's become a collective of musicians that are all tied to the cause of the message.

They appreciate the music and the sense of community around it.

They taught her Sail away... Hill: This refugee crisis with Syria, is that something that you tap into?

Almadani: Sail away Almadani: Sail away Hill: You really approach it through the collateral damage, the ripple effect of things.

You're not in the middle of it, but you are in the current of it.

That's exactly it.

Almadani: That was one of the most challenging creative experiences that I've ever had, was to figure out how to stay honest and authentic with the music when I'm not there myself.

Every single show I play, at least one person comes up to me and asks, "Is the war still going on in Syria?"

We're cultivating safe spaces to ask that question and say, "Yes."

We connect them to charity organizations because otherwise, nothing changes.

Hey Sail away, sail away Sail away in my sleep Sail away, sail away Sail away in my sleep The hills are green The river's full
