Info
With gritty lyrics and punky basslines, MAHA delivers a powerful fist of resistance, shaped by her roots in Sudan and her upbringing in the Frisian city of Sneek. At the same time, she knows exactly how to wrap big themes in an energetic and infectious package. Dancing and thinking at the exact same time. Joy as a form of resistance!
MAHA offers more than a standard concert; she creates a platform for stories that push beyond the mainstream. Her worldview as a woman of color and a Muslim leads to music that is as inventive as Mahazine, the magazine she self-publishes. In doing so, she blazes her own trail, breaking down structures and assumptions. During one of her performances, she handed out Sudanese coffee, and even the most devoted tea lovers started to have second thoughts. For those who still aren’t convinced: her music alone provides a potent shot of caffeine, hope, and joy all in one.
This show is part of the Explore the North Hub. During Oerol, Explore the North presents work by talents affiliated with its production house at various locations across the island. Explore the North is a production house and festival based at Podium Explore in Leeuwarden.
