A SOPHISTICATED AND COMPELLING MUSICAL INNOVATOR OF EGYPTIAN HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARY IDENTITY
Dina Elwedidi channels the heritage and contemporary identity of Cairo to deliver “transcendent performances.” (Al-Ahram)
A sophisticated musical innovator, her richly ornamented and detailed compositions, generous arrangements, bell-clear voice, and charismatic stage presence have established her as a global cultural force. “Dina is a huge talent. Her voice is captivating and irresistible. There is a fierce personal-political thread through her music that opens a space for a future otherwise unable to be born.” (Peter Sellars)
With sophisticated musical hybridity, “Elwedidi’s songs reflect different temperaments and styles, from jazz to folk and underground rock, a combination of instruments and sounds that can’t be labeled under one category. She is shaping a new musical genre that has emerged in the wake of the Tahrir Square Revolution.” (Euro News)
