The French-Moroccan singer-songwriter released her multi-award-winning debut on the legendary label Blue Note Records in 2010. Comparisons with label greats such as Billie Holiday followed. Born in 1979, the autodidact actually combines pop sounds with the rhythms of the desert in her music, rather than limiting herself to pure vocal jazz. The core of her music is formed of repetitive metres from all around the globe, which are apt to put audiences into a trance – for example, when she mixes Moroccan percussion with Cuban rhythms. This enchanted rug of rhythms is the foundation from which Zahra’s melodies and arrangements grow. Zahra is best known in Germany thanks to her role in Fatih Akin’s film »The Cut«, while her music made a mark on pop-culture consciousness through the Chanel advert starring Giselle Bündchen.
At the »Elbjazz« festival the Hamburg harbour is the backdrop for a unique music event: since 2010 thousands of guests have been thrilled by one of the largest European jazz festivals where the unmistakable maritime flair of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg meets spectacular venues and musical diversity. The concerts and the colourful supporting programme of the festival take place at changing locations north and south of the Elbe river – and for the fourth time in a row at the Elbphilharmonie in 2020.
