Described by NOW as an 'interesting and magnetic collaboration', Halawella is an experimental musical partnership between Egyptian singer and songwriter Maryam Saleh, a powerful voice for her generation, and pioneering electro-music producer Zeid Hamdan, who has been described as the 'godfather of Lebanese underground music'.
The duo have developed their blend of traditional Arabic songs, hip-hop and electronica, which unites to produce raw, energetic and sophisticated music that reflects the contemporary political situation.
Maryam Saleh & Zeid Hamdan's work together includes original music by both artists, alongside covers of classic Arabic songs, including Maryam's personal inspiration, Sheikh Imam, a friend of her father and who she knew well growing up.
