Musically and geographically, Natacha Atlas has always been an itinerant. The Anglo-Egyptian singer has spent more than a decade fusing electronic beats and North African and Arabic music, finding links between seemingly disparate musical genres, exploring new and different sonic settings and working with a wealth of like-minded collaborators from across the world along the way. The resulting body of work is both a triumph of true multiculturalism and a testament to the richness and accessibility of Arabic culture. It is, indeed, an oeuvre unlike any other.
Presiding over it all, of course, is Atlas’s extraordinary voice. Meltingly sensuous and gloriously passionate, delicate with melisma and microtones, it bridges Middle Eastern and Western styles with instinctive ease. Her last 2 albums, 'Ana Hina' and 'Mounqaliba', showcase this beautifully: a contemporary classical affair that places this god-given instrument centre stage. A throwback to Arabic music’s Golden Era of the late 1950s and 60s, to the sounds and idols that shaped Atlas’s youth. Albums that looks to the past while imagining the future, buoyed by some of the best classical and traditional musicians working today.
Career highlights include Top Ten in France in France with her Arabic-style version of the Francoise Hardy classic "Mon Amie La Rose" from the 1999 Gold album "Gedida", winning Best Female Singer at the French 'Victoire de la Musique' awards in 2000 and most recently winning Best International Artist at the newly formed MEDIMEX conference in Bari, Italy.
