Concert of the 18th Festival 2006

Nawal

Opening the festival this year, an exceptional concert by Nawal, one of the most stunning women's voices from Africa.

From the Comoro Islands, Nawal is the first woman singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the islands to perform in public.

Nawal

Between traditional and contemporary, her compositions are an acoustic roots-based fusion, a reflection of the diverse character of the Comoros and beyond. Indo-Arabian-Persian music meets Bantu polyphonies and rhythms mixed with Sufi trance.

With her on- and off-stage partner, percussionist Melissa, she is currently concocting her second album. The festival concert will provide a sneak preview of their latest creations.
Nawal sings mostly in Comorian (Shikomor) a language in the Swahili family, also with French, English and Arabic.
