Darwasha is an independent musical project, that mixes Oriental and Egyptian Folk Music with Rock.

Mohamed Darwish (Guitarist, Oud player & Composer) founded the project Jan 2012 with a group of musicians/friends to establish Darwasha band, benefiting from his past experience through his work at theater musical composing as well as Rock & Metal bands in which he participated, Darwish is developing a unique fusion with a contemporary oriental taste.

Mohamed Ehab A.k.a Dawsha Was born in 1994. Cairo .

Dawsha began his career as a rapper in 2010, as his first work was "Ah Magroo7".

He was known for being much funnier than anyone else during his performances or even in the words of his songs which he depends on to make his audience happy when they see him, listen to him or even when discussing something with him, as he sees that the best way to solve problems is to laugh.

His lifelong mission is for people to be united by his songs and for them to know that we all are just one person. Dawsha's songs describe his life and experiences and that's a main part of his mission in life for his fans, as he wants to describe what he sees of events and situations throughout the world and for his life to be a story for all rap lovers.

With her powerful, nuanced voice and authentic style, Egyptian singer and composer Dina El Wedidi has spent the past six years carving out her place in the Egyptian music scene. While studying oriental languages at the University of Cairo, Dina joined El Warsha Theatre Troupe, exploring Egyptian folklore and performing in such unlikely places as a Cairo prison, and later she performed classical Egyptian and Arabic songs with the Habayebna band. These experiences pushed Dina to sing in many styles, and were the impetus for her to begin composing her own songs. In 2011, she took the fundamental next step and formed her own band; from here her success has soared.

In 2011 she became one of the first members of the Nile Project, a cultural and environmental ethnomusicology project which she spent 3 years with, collaborating with musicians from all of the Nile Countries, touring through East Africa and the United States, and making 2 albums (Aswan, Jinja). In 2012 Wedidi was selected by Gilberto Gil and the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative as a protégé, which allowed her to be mentored by the great Brazilian music icon. The two performed together at Back2Black, part of the London 2012 Festival. They later met for musical events and conversations in Switzerland, the United States, Brazil and Egypt. . In 2013, they performed together at the Cairo Jazz Festival, and he advised her on her debut album, guest performing on the song “El Leil.” This album, Turning Back (Tedawar W’Tergaa) was released in 2014. Dina’s achievements are many more; she performed at TEDGlobal in Scotland, participated in workshops with Grammy award winner Fathy Salama, Kamilya Jubran, and has worked with the Mazaher Ensemble in Cairo. She has performed throughout Egypt, and in Jordan, Tunisia, Sudan, England, Italy, Norway and Sweden. El Wedidi describes her music as New Egyptian Folk and Arab Fusion.

One of Egypt's coolest and upcoming indie folk bands come together from different parts of the world to share their energy and music.

More of an infusion than a fusion, Egyptian Project is the result of a long and committed collaboration between the defenders of Egyptian tradition and a young French musician who mix the sounds of the Nile delta and Cairo with the ambiances of trip-hop, electro, hip-hop, and even classical music. “The fluvial meeting of oriental fragrances and minimalist electronic sounds” makes for a journey into unexplored territories.

One can only dream of distant times when musicians, dancers, and all different kinds of artists lingered in the neighborhoods and cafés of Cairo, awaiting nightly propositions to perform at parties, weddings or child births.

Its an electronic-acoustic vibe that reveals and awakens the beauty of the music of the Nile riverbanks and carries listeners to far and distant lands. It's the undertaking of Jérôme Ettinger, a musician without borders and the art director of the project lead by the association Togezer Productions. For over 10 years, he multiplied the number of musical experiments, artists residencies, and meetings in France and in Egypt and organized many educational activities around traditional Egyptian instruments (rababa, percussion, violin, singing and kawala) and computer made music.

Jérôme, while immersing himself in the Egyptian culture, was fostered by Jean Paul Romann (a sound engineer for Tinariwen, Lojo...) during a pre-production and recording session. Rodolphe Gervais (a sound engineer for Ray Charles, Assassin, Idir...) later took up the recording and mixing of the Album at Studio du Faune.

One can only imagine the difficulty: conjoining sequencers with the maqsoum, baladi or ayoub rhythms of the master percussionist Ragab Sadek ; conciliating the incredible outpourings of singer and kawala player Sayed Eman with the contemporary vocal work of Jérôme Ettinger; tuning the notes of the famous rababa player and violinist Salama Metwally with a computer; and associating electronic programming with the subtlety of modal music and its relentless quarter tones.

“Patience is a beautiful thing”, as they say in Egypt. And Jérôme Ettinger took his time. Himself being an argûl player (a rare Egyptian double clarinet), he learned to play with the famous Mostafa Abdel Aziz (Musiciens du Nil, Mozart l’égyptien, Peter Gabriel...). Accompanied from the start by his friend Ihab Radwan, an oud player (who worked with Hugues de Courson on Mozart l'égyptien), Jérôme Ettinger keeps his project alive both on stage and on the album, where we find the participation of the oud player. The project is destined to evolve with a feminine voice from Cairo as well as other musicians met along the way.

“Each one of these musicians has learned to adapt to the music of the others. Its not just copy and paste, its an intensive, collaborative work that's on for the long run. In order to find a solid base, it was necessary to establish a relationship based on trust. And now that the trust is there, we can truly feel the sincerity and pleasure being taken on stage.” -Jérôme Ettinger

El Dor El Awal started with a jam between Ahmed Omar and Mohamed Samy. The two of them created a few tunes and decided to form a band, which would play music, original music, its own music. Omar got his two friend Bob and Mizo who played with him in another band called Wust El Balad. And Samy got Naïssam, the French-Syrian girl he met playing with Fathi Salama, Nour, a friend from Alexandria and Fadi an old friend of his.

They began rehearsing in this cute flat on the first floor of a building, playing day and night for six months, to build a repertoire for el Dor El Awal. They were almost living together in this flat playing and searching for a personal sound, far from the considerations of the Egyptian musical market. They felt they were pouring their souls out on that first floor. So they decided to actually call the band El Dor El Awal that literally means the first floor in Egyptian dialect.

El Dor El Awal is not your typical Egyptian band. Even its formation is unusual. Two percussionists that play an original set with bongos, congas, kakhon, tabla and elements from the drums, a keyboard that uses a piano sound as well as electronic effects to add colors to the music. And finally a flute, a violin, and a saxophone, that create a very particular brass section.

Blending in their different musical backgrounds and adding each their personal touch, El Dor El Awal have truly succeeded on creating their own personal style and constantly delivering some fresh tunes that make their way straight into the hearts of the audience.
