Mazaher performs ritual music with roots in Cairo.

About the venue: Alice

ALICE is a regional music venue in Nørrebro, formed in 2018 from the merger of the former venues Global and Jazzhouse. Named after American jazz pianist and composer Alice Coltrane, it focuses on music that rarely finds space on Danish stages - from global roots, folk and jazz/improv to sound art, new composed music, metal and electronic experiments. The venue also stages concerts at external locations such as Marmorkirken and Glyptoteket.

About: Mazaher

Catch Egypt's last zar practitioners live: Mazaher turns a near-vanished Cairo healing ritual - drumming, chant and trance - into a concert built around singer Umm Sameh and her fellow musicians.
