Nadah El Shazly—producer, vocalist and sound artist from Cairo, Egypt—celebrates her new highly anticipated second album “Laini Tani” (released June 6th, 2025 via her new label, One Little Independent Records as well as Backward Music in Canada). Renowned for her blending of experimental sounds with traditional Arabic influences and improvisational styles, El Shazly has garnered international acclaim for her genre-defying artistry, mesmerising vocals, and avant-garde arrangements. She’ll be joined by collaborators, TBA.

Laini Tani is an album of contrasts – between indulgence and contemplation, spontaneity and observation – inviting the listener to lose themselves in its enchanting rhythms while deciphering the deeper truths woven into its fabric.

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.

Nadah El Shazly is a producer, vocalist and sound artist from Cairo, Egypt. Her music combines expressive 19th century musical concepts from her homeland with contemporary, borderless forays into electronic and improvisational idioms. She has toured the world extensively, featuring at festivals including Le Guess Who?, REWIRE, Irtijal, and FIMAV, among many others. Her debut album, Ahwar, landed at #12 on The Wire’s “Best Albums of 2017.” Beyond her own music, El Shazly is an inspired collaborator, working closely with like-minded Egyptian musicians Maurice Louca and Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush). Recently, she’s been making brain-scrambling, beat-driven music like Pollution Opera, a newly minted duo with irreverent Welsh sound artist Elvin Brandhi. El Shazly has also spent time on-screen, starring in the feature length film About Her (2020) and appearing in the Netflix original series Love, Life & Everything In Between (2022). She just released her sophomore album, Laini Tani, in the spring of 2025.
