I never really understood why everyone was raving about Hindi Zahra. Or, I think I understood why, but found it ungrounded. Now I'm not so sure. Last night she made an awesome appearance at Clandestino festival, taking a big step away from the singer/songwriter esthetics that surrounds much of her work.
Here's the review in Svenska Dagbladet.
More surprises, good ones, were dub step dj Uzul and after him Gnawa Diffusion founder Amazigh Kateb, who doesn't only have a name to die for, but also have incorporated elements (and some entire songs) of chaabi and raï in his repertoire.
More of all that in tomorrow's paper. And I wont link to any of Zara's songs, the studio versions don't do her performance yesterday any justice.
Here's the review in Svenska Dagbladet.
