Every now and then we ask befriended musicians to recommend us an album that inspired their own art and the stories never fail to surprise and entertain us. The fact that beloved songwriter Faye Webster was heavily inspired by a joint venture of iconic bluegrass musician Alison Krauss and former Led Zeppelin leader Robert Plant was new to us. We invited Faye to write a few lines on the importance of this very special record for her.
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.
