Feature: How Do I Know I’m Listening to Hamza El Din?

Library > Community Presentations

Presenter: Shady Daoud

Delivered: DC on November 4, 2018

Growing up as a Nubian in Giza, Egypt, I always heard Nubian music at social family gatherings and weddings, but I never really found interest in it until I started playing music as a teenager. I rediscovered Hamza’s music in college.

About Afikra Community Presentations

Delivered and prepared by afikra Community members, the presentation’s goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research and share some knowledge on a ‎topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the ‎culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the ‎presentation. afikra presentations come in two forms, a long question-driven afikra Feature, and a short afikra FWD with the purpose of sharing something interesting.
