SAWTUHUNNA | صوتهنّ by Cafi Chanta means their voice, referring specifically to women. The project brings together female voices from the SWANA region and diaspora, moving across languages, musical backgrounds and generations. At its centre is the diversity of contemporary Arab and diasporic music, approached through voice, performance and different ways of carrying musical heritage into the present.

FELUKAH
Egyptian rapper, singer and songwriter Felukah moves fluidly between Arabic and English, rap, R&B, poetry and alternative sounds. Her music is intimate and confident at once, shaped by questions of identity, femininity, belonging and life between cultures. With a distinctive lyrical voice and an approach that constantly shifts between genres, she represents a new generation of artists redefining contemporary Arabic music on their own terms.

BENBOO
Bouthaina Nabouli & Benjemy
BENBOO brings together the deep, raw voice of Tunisian singer Bouthaina Nabouli and the electronic world of DJ and producer Benjemy. Drawing from classical Arabic songs and the repertoire of iconic Arab voices, the duo carries these references into a contemporary electronic landscape. Voice, percussion, oud and electronic machines meet in a sound that moves between memory and the present, with Bouthaina’s voice at its centre.

MOSAÏC BAND
At the centre of MOSAÏC BAND is Lebanese singer and performer Sara El Boustani, joined by Rafik Kamel on guitar, Peter George Saad on piano and keyboard, Aziz Ben Slimen on oud, Karim Abbes on percussion and darbuka, and Tarek El Sherif on bass.
With roots spanning Lebanon, Egypt and Tunisia, the Munich-based ensemble combines Arabic melodies, North African folklore and Levantine rhythms with jazz, funk and contemporary grooves. Sara’s voice connects these different influences, giving the band a strong vocal centre while leaving space for the collective energy of the full ensemble.
