«My Sound, My Journey» by Wael Sami Elkholy

Description

The Swiss-Egyptian musician, singer, and oud player Wael Sami Elkholy takes the audience on a personal journey between Cairo and Switzerland. Through music, songs, and stories, he connects memories from his childhood, encounters along his life path, and experiences as an artist between different cultures. Original compositions meet Arabic songs as well as settings of texts by Swiss authors such as Raphael Urweider and Pedro Lenz. This creates a multifaceted evening that tells of homeland and foreignness, loss and renewal, tradition and artistic freedom. With oud, singing, and electronic sounds, Wael Sami Elkholy creates an intimate space for listening, where personal stories and musical worlds blend together.
