Check out my new single in 'New Music Egypt & Lebanon'!
Palestinian singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Rasha Nahas, was born and raised in Haifa and is currently living and working in Berlin.
A classical guitarist since the age of 10, Rasha has long been fostering a sound that moves seamlessly between the resonances of early Rock n’ Roll and the reckless echoes of Free Jazz, adding to that with her very own approach to songwriting and performance.
Her unmistakable sound and unique artistic identity were born and shaped within the underground scene of her home town, Haifa; fabrics of electric guitars combined with classical technique, and a penchant for fierce yet intimate storytelling carrying bold, unabashed poetry and howling violins.
Together with one EP out (Am I, 2016) and her captivating live performances, Nahas has already toured in Europe, South America, UK and the Middle East, including shows at Glastonbury Festival, SIM São Paulo, Midem, Sziget, Palestine Music Expo, and many other festivals and venues around the globe.
Nahas has also performed and composed music for theater and performance art. Since relocating to Germany, she has worked on numerous dance and theater pieces including works in Tanz im August (Berlin) and Thalia Theater(Hamburg).
Her debut full length album, which she co-produced and recorded with her band, is due to be released in 2020.
