Nadah El Shazly

Nadah El Shazly is a producer, vocalist and sound artist from Cairo, Egypt. Her debut album, “Ahwar,” radically reinvents popular Egyptian music from the early 19th century and explores new sonic and harmonic frontiers. Using her voice, field recordings and instruments, she creates haunting sound pieces that hijack the perception of time with their complex layers and dynamic structure. Following her release with extensive worldwide touring, both solo and with a four-piece band, El Shazly has been featured in local and international festivals including Irtijal, Le Guess Who?, REWIRE and Best Kept Secret.
