Dorsaf Hamdani is considered one of Tunisia's greatest voices. She has sung classical Arab-Andalusian music at the Cairo Opera, but has also worked with musicians from a variety of genres with equal passion. Above all, she is committed to sharing the cultural influences of her vocal art – these include, above all, the great singers of the Middle East: Umm Kulthum from Egypt, Asmahan from Syria, and Fairuz from Lebanon. Hamdani dedicated a very personal album to these three icons in 2011, which she now translates into a concert program.
