Cairo’s singer and composer invites you to witness her hauntingly emotive voice.
"A perfect, soaring amalgamation of traditional Egyptian song with experimental takes on performance and instrumentation,“ said Joseph Burnett in the Quietus about Nadah El Shazly debut album AHWAR with Libyan guitarist and fellow Cairo native. In 2017, she released her critically acclaimed debut album AHWAR. Backing up her release with extensive worldwide touring through a solo set and a four-piece band, El Shazly has been featured in local and international festivals including Le Guess Who?, REWIRE, Best Kept Secret, Supersonic, and many more.
As part of her residency with Nusasonic, El Shazly, a singer, composer, and producer based in Cairo, will perform with her seductive voice in a showcase in ArtJog Festival. This is her second time in Yogyakarta, following her appearance in Nusasonic festival in October 2018.
The residency program in Yogyakarta is hosted by Nusasonic-partner Yes No Klub from July to September 2019.
