Maryam Saleh
A luminary of Egypt’s alternative music scene, Maryam Saleh delivers a savvy mix of old and new, infusing shaabi and folk styles with innovative techniques and fearless personality. Her latest mythic and introspective work Syrr (Arabic for “secret”), co-produced by Maurice Louca, underwent a rigorous three-year journey of songwriting and composition with Kamilya Jubran as her mentor. Influenced by existing Egyptian and Arabic song forms, the poet and composer blends raw lyrical expression with subtle dramatics, crafting an immersive sonic autobiography.
