Nadah El Shazly: Adventurous Music From Cairo
Hear this show now:
Pop-up player!

Add or read comments
Nadah El Shazly's darkly
impressionistic Arab-tinged electro-acoustic music is getting noticed. Her late 2017 debut album, Ahwar, got rave reviews.
Shortly after its release, the Cairo-based composer / performer made the cover of The Wire.
Her newest recording is a collaboration with adventurous international septet Karkhana, part of a split-EP called Carte Blanche.
We're thrilled to have Nadah El Shazly (vocals, electronics) on our show this week! She's joined by NY-based improvisers extraordinaire Brahja Devin Waldman (saxophone), a member of Sam Shalabi's ensemble Land of Kush who performs - along with Shalabi and other members of Land of Kush - on Nadah's album Ahwar and also leads his own ensemble, BRAHJA; and Shayna Dulberger (double bass) whose many projects include Hot Date, Dromedaries and Warrior of Light.
The spectacular video, above, for the song Mahmeya from Nadah El Shazly's album Ahwar is by Marwan Elgamal, who also did beautiful artwork for the album.
