Ahram Online, Tuesday 7 Aug 2012

Hana Malhas and Sherine Amr, both acoustic musicians, will perform in Maadi on Wednesday

Jordanian musician Hana Malhas will share the Bikya Maadi stage with Egypt’s Sherine Amr on Wednesday, 8 August. The event will kick-off Hana Malhas's debut tour in Cairo.

Jordanian-born and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Hana Malhas describes her music as indie-folk pop. Although her academic background leads her today towards a Masters of Business Administration (MBA), Malhas has training in classical music and has been composing songs on piano and guitar for a number of years.

Sherine Amr will open the evening with Arabic pop songs, followed by Malhas’ acoustic/indie infusions from Jordan. Amr is an Egyptian vocalist and guitarist whose first on stage steps were with metal group Mascara, and who soon moved to acoustic music with a new band called The Other Side of Mascara.

On Friday, Malhas will be performing with Egyptian acoustic musician Hany Mustafa at El-Sawy Culturweheel in Zamalek, Cairo.
