Natacha Atlas
Of Egyptian ancestry, Natacha Atlas first came to prominence in multi-cultural troupe Transglobal Underground, bringing her vocals to their riot of tonal colour, as well as contributing the raq sharki (belly dance) techniques that she learned as a teenager into the band's live performances.
For the last five years, she has been concentrating increasingly on her solo career, and spending as much time as possible in Cairo, strengthening her bonds with her roots, immersing herself in shaabi, Egypt's indigenous bluesy pop music, and writing songs in Arabic. She brings this unique array of influences to bear on her music not simply by patchworking them together, but by synthesising them into something thrillingly new.
