Juliana Jendo (born November 30, 1956, in Tel Tamer, Syria, Syriac: ܓܘܠܝܢܐ ܓܢܕܐ) is a Syrian Assyrian singer and actress who, unlike many other Assyrian Neo-Aramaic-speaking artists, has occasionally recorded songs in Turoyo, Chaldean Neo-Aramaic and as well as in Arabic.[1] She has mostly recorded folk dance music.

Biography

Born in Tel Tamer, Syria, she studied French literature at a university there. In 1980, she and her family immigrated to the United States. She currently resides in Michigan and frequently visits Chicago, Illinois. Furthermore, she is an honorary chairwoman of the organization Nasraya Ad Dema that she founded.

2024 arrest in Sweden

On 20 October 2024, Jendo was planned to perform at a party in Södertälje, Sweden but due to suspicion of tax fraud before the planned performance, it was cancelled.[2] The organizer of the event stated that there have previously been no issues in organizing performances with Assyrian artists. Much indicates that the organizer of the event had not provided all the necessesary paper-work before the planned event, which caused the event being cancelled. Jendo has performed in Sweden several times through the years, without any complications.[2]

In a statement on her social media later that day, it was announced that Juliana would later be released after efforts from Swedish Assyrian lawyers.[3]
