BIO
To the circular breathing of Peter Corser’s sax, to the « barock » strings of Karsten Hochapfel’s cello and to the musical flights of Erik Truffaz’s trumpet, responds the gripping voice of Abdullah Miniawy, a young egyptian poet and singer, craving for freedom and justice. His Sufi singing, whispered or cried out loud on top of hypnotic electronic loops, drives the audience into a mystical trance. Spirituality and liberty shine through his music, which carries the hopes of the oppressed, facing political, social and religious repression. Halfway between rock, Sufi poetry, jazz, spoken word and oriental flourishes, Le Cri du Caire creates an intense metaphorical universe, that transcends identities and borders.

“Le Cri du Caire overrides border issues and breaks the blinkers, to point between the lines of the issues of today’s world. Those of a child, grown in solitude in Saudi Arabia before opening up to the world via the Internet, those of a young adult who dug out the furrow of his own difference between the poetic scholarship of the psalmoders of the Coran and the telluric energy of the rappers, those of a writer who militates with the weapons of rhetoric to bring out other relationships between all, between here and there. This world, about which Abdullah Miniawy, in his very own way, tells us – with soft words, sharp phrasings, straight to the point – is just as much ours. Word to the wise !” – Jacques Denis
Télérama
“Through the heart-wrenching voice of Egyptian poet and spoken word singer Abdullah Miniawy, one can hear the whole Cairo youth crying, storming and yelling their libertarian rage, between Sufi psalmodies and telluric rap – a passionate and touching musical experience.” – Anne Berthod
Radio Nova
“To help you picture what’s happening on stage, try to imagine young Abdullah Miniawy, with the same haircut and very intense body language as Georges Perec : he turns around, spins around, eyes wide open, clenches his fists or suddenly moves his hands about. He adapts very well to the abrupt changes of his diction, and goes from whispering his poetry to singing it in a stunning muezzin voice.” – Richard Gaitet
Le Berry Républicain
“Le Cri du Caire calls for no effort to get away – it only takes closing one’s eyes. With its blend of Sufi music, saxophone circular breathing and spoken word, together with an adventurous trumpet and cello, Le Cri du Caire is a unique experience between East and West.” – François Lesbre
