Shahira Welnas Elkhatira: Cairo's High-Spirited Indie Band
Shahira Welnas Elkhatira talk about their music, the scene in Cairo, and upcoming plans.

Shahira Welnas Alkhatira is an indie music project from Cairo,
led by Shahira Kamal herself, though she prefers to see the group as a collective
project. Starting originally as an acoustic formation in October 2016, they now
play in full band formation around Cairo, occasionally in Alexandria, in radio
shows and TV programs. Their songs cover the topics of romance and social
commentary, with a distinct overtone of humor, a lightheartedness that is
reflected in their live performances. We caught up with them ahead of their
performance at Azhar Park as part of D-CAF’s 2018 launch, and talked about
their music and the scene in Cairo.
