Amira Kheir on Network Africa

Amira Kheir

Network Africa video session

With roots in Sudan and Italy, singer-songwriter Amira Kheir performs jazz-tinged songs steeped in Sudanese tradition.

Accompanied by Anna Wright on kora, she gave this special performance of her song 'Kullu Wahid' as part of a video session at our studios in Bush House for Network Africa.

Influences

Amira writes and performs in Arabic seeking to reinterpret traditional Sudanese music with the more contemporary musical influences in her life.

Network Africa's Bola Mosuro asked her more about her songs and where they come from.
