Biography

Born in Brussels in 1964 to an Egyptian father and English mother, Natacha Atlas grew up in a multi-cultural environment, which she sought to develop through music. Settling in Great Britain after a stint as an oriental dancer, she experimented with the dub-electro fusion concocted by Jah Wobble with Invaders of the Heart (1993), then joined the electro-oriental collective Transglobal Underground. In 1995, the singer began her personal journey with a hit album, Diaspora, followed by a modern tribute to Arab singing star Abdel Halim Hafez. Other albums reflect this blend of tradition and modernity, oriental music and electro sounds, such as Gedida (1999), which won her a Victoire de la musique award, thanks in particular to her cover of "Mon amie la rose", which became a hit. Between London and Cairo, she punctuates her recordings with collaborations on the albums Ana Hina (2008), Mounqalba in a State of Reverseal (2010) and Myriad Road (2015), produced with Ibrahim Maalouf.
