Fatima Al Qadiri

It was back in the winter of 2011 that we discovered with welcome surprise Fatima Al Qadiri. This visual artist, who was raised in Kuwait, now lives in Brooklyn, where she began to make music. Using manipulations of her own voice and taking inspiration from traditional Muslim worship songs to explore and reinterpret sub-genres of dance music on her 2011 EP Genre Specific Xperience, her universe is as eclectic as it is explosive. Just listen a track like ‘Ghost Raid’, from her latest album Desert Strike (2012) and you’ll get the idea. Opening tonight is the fascinating experimental duo Lucky Dragons.
