Sonic Frontiers Night 01

Sonic Frontiers Night 01

Haya Zaatry and Badiaa Bouhrizi

The Sonic Agent presents two nights to conjure our listening abilities aiming to capture and reflect on our changing times, conceptual formations of the audible within music and to highlight the evolution of sounds and music coming from the SWANA.

For this first night we present a powerful double bill conjuring formations of the audible and highlighting defiant voices from the SWANA.

Palestinian singer, songwriter and composer Haya Zaatry brings her debut album “Rahwan” to audiences in the UK for the first time. The album consists of songs transcending the complicated threads of history, time and geography to pay tribute to generations of mothers and matriarchs from the Levante. 

Acclaimed Tunisian singer, composer and musician Badiaa Bouhrizi who sings in Modern Standard Arabic will present her distinctive vocal style and committed lyrics in her latest album “Kahru Musiqa”: an electrifying account of musical defiance.

The night will be sonically ended with a DJ set by Lebanese DJ and producer Sam Karam. 

Live radio stream on Radio Al-Hara presented by Soundcamp in partnership with Wave Farm in New York's Upper Hudson Valley, USA. wavefarm.org/listen.

This is Night 01 from a two night program curated for Shubbak Festival by The Sonic Agent.

This performance is presented in partnership with the Aga Khan Music Awards.
