Dina El Wedidi

Dina El Wedidi is an Egyptian folk artist from Cairo. Her latest works drift away from contemporary folk sounds into songs based in ethereal soundscapes, darker electronic tones and manipulated train samples. El Wedidi comes to Burlington through Center Stage, an artist exchange program that seeks out musicians from around the world and brings them to American stages. The initiative’s goal is not only to showcase global talent but to engage audiences in cross-cultural conversations regarding personal and social issues. El Wedidi performs on Wednesday, October 3, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington.
