Deena Abdelwahed is an experimental musician from Tunisia whose work has long-focused on the process of collaboration – from twisted electronic heads Acid Arab and Morphosis, to French-Lebanese singer and multi-instrumentalist Bachar Mar-Khalifé and experimental hip-hop producer Débruit. With a multi-genre and avant-garde approach to traditional North African sounds, she’s forged kinships with fellow Tunisian musicians, like jazz artist Fawzi Chek-li and the So Soulful group, and electronic producer Zied Meddeb Hamrouni, who introduced her to the World Full of Bass DJ collective. In 2014, Abdelwahed moved to Toulouse, France: building a bridge between continental Europe and North Africa, in her music and collaborative performances; taking what’s been termed “The Maghreb Futuristic Spring” forward, signing to French label InFiné, recording new material.
