Anas Maghrebi rolled his drumsticks back and forth between his thumb and forefinger.
The 27-year-old singer-songwriter fled Syria’s civil war and landed on the Greek island of Lesbos in September 2015, at the peak of Europe’s migrant crisis.
His post-rock band made its way north to Germany, handing out CDs and holding impromptu gigs along the way.
Maghrebi now enjoys his new life in Berlin, a diverse city that he described as the “mecca for artists” in Europe. And for the most part, he feels at home here.
But not everything is rosy for Maghrebi. More than 18 months after arriving, he is only now beginning to learn German.
“It’s not like I come here and all of a sudden I’m a free bird,” he explained.
