New York Arab Festival 2024 Presents:

Experience the union of 2 Algerian divas: Fella Oudane, powerhouse singer and darbouka virtuoso, and Esraa Warda, spirited dance artist, in an electrifying performance presenting Algerian music in feminine force. Fella Oudane, hailing from Bab-El-Oued, Algiers, gained fame through duos with Cheb Nasro and upholds traditional Algerian music, including Kabyle, Assimi, and Rai, even from her base in Los Angeles. In 2023, she collaborated with dancer Esraa Warda at the “For the Sake of Dancing in the Street” exhibition by OXY Arts and the Los Angeles Nomadic Division. Esraa Warda is a prominent Algerian-American dance artist in New York who explores socio-cultural themes in traditional Algerian dance. Catch her on PBS’s Bare Feet and NPR’s Tiny Desk with Bnat el Houariyat. Warda’s work has been lauded by the New York Times, VOGUE Arabia, and The Metric, and she was a BBC 100 Women nominee in 2022.
