Nadah El Shazly is an Egyptian singer and composer and mainstay of Cairo’s burgeoning underground scene. Having gotten her start in music singing Misfits covers for a hometown punk band, Nadah El Shazly now crafts a mystical blend of Arabic songcraft, improvised avant-jazz, rock and electronica. Composed, written and produced over a two year period, her debut Ahwar is an almost mythological experience that sees Nadah El Shazly’s soaring vocals and Arabic prose accompanied by a rich array of avant-garde arrangements. For her Rewire 2018 performance she’ll be joined by a full band.
