Mirali on the Road 

"Mir Ali" is a combination of genres, origins and influences. The first syllable of her Russian last name, “Mir” means “world”, “peace” or “universe,” whereas “Ali”, the first syllable of her first name, is her nickname in Spanish speaking countries where she digs for inspiration. In Spanish, taken literally, “Mira Ali” means “look at Ali”, which is often exclaimed by passerby’s during her impromptu shows at street corners or train stations.
