YUNIS

YUNIS is an Egyptian artist whose music weaves Afro-Arab rhythms, trance structures, and electronic maximalism into a sonic pilgrimage, invoking collective memory and transformation through layered sound design and live improvisation rooted in Zar, takhmira, ecstatic ceremony and living ritual. His latest performance ‘Opera for 1000 Crows’ intertwines live electronics, cello, and voice. Rooted in a funeral dance ritual from Upper Egypt and Delta villages, the piece draws parallels between a mourning tradition and a children's street game, to expose the fragile space between life and death.
