Donia Massoud Live at Zico House

Join Zico House as it hosts a live performance by Egyptian singer Donia Massoud. Born in Alexandria, Massoud left for Cairo at the age of 21, alone and independent, to the outrage and chagrin of her family. After a number of experiences on stage, both singing and acting, Massoud began a three-year journey searching for and documenting folk poetry and music.

She traveled the length and breadth of the country, from Suez to Upper Egypt, to learn and study the musical repertoires of ordinary people. Now, all she has to do is step on stage, alone, and take on a very special character of her own — a style she herself describes as “a coquettishness reminiscent of Shadia and Soaad Hosni (two legends of Egyptian cinema) as they were in the 1940’s and 1950’s.”

Donia will be singing Egyptian folk songs in honour of Shadia and Souad Hosni, in her own unique style.

Entrance fee: $20 including one drink and snacks
