Based between Cairo and New York City, Felukah incorporates the essence of both cities in her sound bending hip hop, RnB, dance music and Egyptian classics to her liking. Her effortless flow in Arabic and English, reminds of the sail boats on Nile River from which Felukah takes her artist name. Ahead of her "Before the Sun" tour, we caught up with the artist.
The internationally known British-Nigerian artist and curator Zina Saro-Wiwa just made her musical debut as SIRA*. The record "Songs for the End of the World" draws on her multidisciplinary approach to art and non-profit organising work. We spoke to Zina about musical influences from her homeland, African environmentalism and practices of deep listening.
