Performer
Felukah
Dubbed the "Neo-soul artist bringing the Nile to New York," Felukah entered the music scene with her hip hop mixtape Citadel. As she traveled between Cairo and NYC, a new in-between cultural identity was created, which Felukah holds high. In August 2020, Felukah’s debut album Dream 23 was released via indie label Abu Recordings. She continues to mix English with Arabic, reality with magic. Her latest single “Lilymothersuperflower” is now available on all streaming platforms.
