SAWTUHUNNA | صوتهنّ by Cafi Chanta means “their voice,” referring specifically to women.

The project brings together women’s voices from the SWANA region and the diaspora, spanning languages, musical backgrounds, and generations. SAWTUHUNNA creates a space for diverse expressions of contemporary Arab and diasporic music, with women’s voices and presence at its core.

FELUKAH
Egyptian rapper, singer, and songwriter Felukah moves fluidly between Arabic and English, rap, R&B, poetry, and alternative sounds. Her music is both intimate and confident, shaped by questions of identity, femininity, belonging, and life across cultures. With a distinctive lyrical voice and an approach that constantly shifts between genres, she represents a new generation of artists redefining contemporary Arabic music on their own terms.

BINT ISHTAR
Bint Ishtar is led by singer and performer Yassmine Rahoui, whose voice is at the heart of a full live band rooted in Arabic musical traditions and open to contemporary influences. The project approaches heritage as something alive, revisiting and reinterpreting it through a contemporary live sound.

Within SAWTUHUNNA, Bint Ishtar combines the presence of a female lead vocalist with the collective energy of a live ensemble.

MOSAÏC BAND
At the heart of MOSAÏC BAND is Lebanese singer and performer Sara El Boustani, joined by Rafik Kamel on guitar, Peter George Saad on piano and keyboard, Aziz Ben Slimen on oud, Karim Abbes on percussion and darbuka, and Tarek El Sherif on bass.

With roots spanning Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia, the Munich-based ensemble blends Arabic melodies, North African folklore, and Levantine rhythms with jazz, funk, and contemporary grooves.
