Berlin-based Palestinian singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Rasha Nahas was born and raised in Haifa. Rasha has long been crafting a sound that moves seamlessly between the resonances of early rock ‘n’ roll and the reckless echoes of free jazz, complemented by her distinctive approach to songwriting, storytelling and performance.
While Rasha’s musical projects are always an exploration into new territories, one staple in her works is her dedication to the narrative. Her debut album, ‘Desert’’ chronicled a personal and political journey from Palestine to Germany and back again.
Rasha now turns to exploring themes of home, belonging, doubt, freedom and her relationship with her mother-tongue. Weaving between acoustic tracks inspired by her homeland to deeper electronic sounds influenced by a more chaotic urban life, Rasha takes the listener on a journey of self-discovery and introduces a fresh perspective on traditional and alternative Arabic music genres.
