Maurice Louca

A boundary-breaking concert, Lekhfa is a captivating collaboration between three legendary and Egyptian indie artists\nMaryam Saleh, Maurice Louca and Tamer Abu Ghazaleh. Coming of age in 90s Cairo and each having paved their own way through the alternative Arabic music scene, the trio have united to create a stunning new album that gives birth to an off-kilter sound of beats, grit and resistance. The project is one of the most enticing to emerge from Egypt’s burgeoning underground music scene. \nTeetering on the edges of Egyptian shaabi, electro-shaabi, pop and psychedelia, the trio are backed by anything from oud and buzuq lute to slide guitars, drums, beat loops and electronica, promising an evening of extraordinary musical talent and creativity.The gig will feature bass-heavy to stripped down Egyptian dance tracks intertwined around the dystopian poetry Mido Zoheir, one of the most celebrated Egyptian poets of their generation.
